It tastes like juicy fruit with a good amount of acidity and bitterness in the flavor, and the lingering aftertaste is also very pleasant, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
It's a winter sake, but I was lucky enough to buy the last 5 bottles in the brewery a while ago.
The top clear liquid has a spicy flavor, and when you mix it with the sweetness and richness of the rice, it seems to be somewhat spicier than the last time I drank it.
But it is delicious!
It is mild on the palate, with a sharp umami with a strong acidity, and the flavor that comes after gives a somewhat plum-like impression, making it delicious.
It is also good to feel a little bit of a crisp feeling on the tip of the tongue, and the umami is tightened by the acidity, which is also good, and the fresh rice flavor can be felt, making it easy to drink and delicious!
It has a little bit of a crispness, a fresh and fresh feeling, and a firm, delicious sweetness, but a little spiciness and acidity follow to tighten it up, making it drinkable and refreshing.
I imagined it to be somewhat fruity because of its Akita name and appearance, but it is not so. It is drier than I expected, and the sourness comes through the nose, but the flavor through the nose is refreshing and delicious!
The raw version is only available now, and it has a light nigori (slight bitterness) flavor with a slightly spicy and bitter acidity, which you can drink while feeling refreshed.
It has a little bit of a tangy feeling, a flavor that reminds me of red meat melon, fresh and a little bit light, something like a rummy, and the flavor comes through nicely, making it easy to drink and delicious!
