It is a dry, light and refreshing sake among the Akabusu.
Personally, I could feel the umami of the rice first rather than the fruitiness common to Akabu, and it was also delicious.
Melon-like fruitiness + a refreshing yet moderate aftertaste that you will never get tired of drinking 🍶.
But be careful not to drink too much as it is 17% alcohol.
You can really feel the umami of the rice in this sake.
I would like to repeat this again because the rice polishing ratio is 60% and it is not too clean and I never get tired of drinking it ^_^.
My wife was hooked on it even more than I was.
A very well-balanced and high quality sake with a fruity taste and sweetness of rice 🍶.
I have the impression that Junmai Daiginjos often have a good aroma but are too clean and lack the taste of rice, but this was not the case at all!
My personal No.1 sake of 2024 ♫
It was a gentle sake with the flavor and sweetness of rice ♫
It was a very satisfying bottle that I could enjoy with my parents because it is a sake that is not often drunk (^^)
Ni-Rabbit is sold only once a year during this season.
The name means "a wolf in a rabbit's skin making sake instead of a rabbit" and the concept is to make a sake that is not made by Ni Usagi every year.
This year's sake was made with 80% polished rice, and the rice was hardly cut at all, so we could feel the flavor of the rice in this robust sake.
It was delicious with a crisp taste and a hint of sweetness.
It is the kind of sake that you want to drink when it is cooled down to the perfect temperature.
