Akabu純米吟醸

...

AKABU Junmai Ginjo Aiyama 100% sake. When my boss at work told me about Aizan, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, so I immediately went to a liquor store a little farther away to buy it! So, I tried it right away. The aroma of sweet melon-like fruit tickled my nostrils. This is absolutely delicious! At this point, I had a gut feeling. The moment you take a sip, you will be pleasantly surprised by the moderate sourness and sweetness in your mouth. Oh, this is so good! While you feel a slight sourness in your throat, an elegant sweetness flows down the back of your throat. The lingering aftertaste disappears surprisingly quickly. This is the kind of sake that goes down smoothly. But before I knew it, the whole bottle had vanished without a trace. Strange... It was a happy day to have met such delicious sake.

First impressions are that it looks beautiful, so i bought it! Also, the name is kind of nice. I was told that it was an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, so I drank it with great anticipation to see what it would be like. The first thing I smelled was a sweet aroma. I could smell it all the time. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and sourness characteristic of nama-shu come rushing in at the same time. The aroma that escapes through the nose is very fresh! You can feel the freshness that only nama-shu can give you. The taste is fresh and fresh, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that lingers on the palate. But it is not bad at all, and you want to feel the lingering taste forever. It is a taste that is full of the deliciousness of nama-shu.

It has a refreshing taste and a clean aftertaste. It is good as a food sake. It does not interfere with the taste of food, so it goes well with any snacks.

I bought it after the owner of a local liquor store recommended it to me. The aroma on the nose is of rich rice. The first thing that hits the palate is a slight tangy stimulation, followed by the unique thickening of the sake and the deliciousness of the rice. As it is a Nakadori sake, you can taste the original flavor of the sake without adding water. Although the taste is a little dry when swallowed, the crispness and moderate lingering aftertaste will make you want to drink it again.

I finally found it after visiting stores after work. It has a rich aroma reminiscent of melon and a sweet, fruity flavor that spreads in the mouth. The aftertaste is clean and smooth. It is just delicious. I can't get enough of it.

Junmai Daiginjo with 50% rice polishing ratio and 15% alcohol by volume. The top aroma is modest but slightly sweet with a fruity aroma. The attack is also moderately sweet with some acidity. However, the overall impression is vague. The lingering aftertaste is also a little unsatisfying as it quickly fades away. It might go well with sashimi or other refreshing snacks.
