Tenbi: 4-bottle set for comparison of different rice series
We are having Banshu Aizan tonight.
It has a refreshing sweetness that makes it very easy to drink.
Tonight we are having Rice and Apple Sparkling by Rice and Agave.
It is a craft saké made from fermented rice, koji, and apples. It is a sparkling type of secondary fermentation in the bottle.
The sourness of the apples and the fruity sweetness make it a very tasty saké.
I've been drinking only rice and Agave's sake recently, but now I've run out of pieces on hand, so I'm going to go stock up again.
Today we are having "Rice and Honey (okami mead)" by Ina and Agave.
I have been drinking only Ina to Agave's sake these days.
This sake is a combination of a honey liquor and a sake issued element, is that right? Well, the details are written on the label on the back. It is an experimental sake, and although I have received various kinds of sake over the decades, this is the first time I have experienced the taste of sake.
I thought it would be a sweet sake because of the honey, but it is sweet but has a refreshing aftertaste due to the strong gaseous and shwashy taste, and it is a "craft sake" with little rice liquor taste.
It is a very tasty sake.
We have received "Rice and Fig" from TAMESHI OKE series by Rice and Agave. This is also a sake to support the recovery from the torrential rain disaster in Akita in July.
I am not a big fan of fig nectar, but this sake, which uses the dewdrops from when it was made, has a pronounced sweetness like a fruit wine, and the fluffy fig nectar aroma at the end of the drink is also very nice.
It might also be refreshing and tasty with carbonated water.
We have received a bottle of Rice and Apple, stored in oak barrels.
It is a limited edition sake and was purchased through a lottery to support the recovery from the torrential rain disaster that occurred in Akita in July.
As a fellow Akita resident, I would like to participate by volunteering, but it is difficult for me to do so in my own life, so I hope I can help in this way, however small.
When poured into a glass, the wine has a slight amber color. It has a strong sweetness, a slight sourness, and a delicious apple flavor that escapes through the nose! It is an apple-scented sake.
You will finish it in no time.
This is "Dobrok Namahashio" by Ina and Agave.
When poured into a glass, it bubbles not with "shwash" but with "buk buk" 🎵.
The taste is a very tasty sake with a strong sweet and sour taste, and a little bit of crisp bitterness, like a lactic acid bacteria drink.
You will guzzle 500ml of it.
Today we are having "Rice, Apples and Hops" by Rice and Agave.
In the mouth, you can taste a unique sourness, a little sweetness, and bitterness, with the flavor of apples spreading in the mouth and the aroma of hops escaping through the nose. It is a delicious and enjoyable sake.
I have been drinking "Rice and Hops Namaishu" by Rice and Agave.
When I put it in my mouth, I feel a moderate acidity and sweetness, but I was surprised to find a muscat-like aroma that leaves my nose immediately after drinking it❗The aroma remains in my mouth for a while after finishing.
It is very easy to drink and delicious.
Unusually hot days continue, and the nights are also hot and tropical, making it difficult to sleep. In such a situation, I would like to enjoy a delicious summer sake. So I am enjoying a summer limited edition of "Harukasumi Wakamizu Label".
It is a delicious summer sake with a mild sweet and sour taste and a very refreshing aftertaste.
Today we are enjoying Houraisen "Sora" from Sekiya Brewery Co.
It has a very mild taste in the mouth. The bitterness and acidity are not so strong, and a mellow sweetness spreads in the mouth.
It is a very elegant sake.
Tonight's sake is Junmai Ginjyo Hanamai -Omachi- by Ryoseki Shuzo.
It has a strong sweetness, but it is not clingy and has a clean aftertaste.
It is a very delicious sake.
I am drinking Kaze no Mori ALPHA 1 Summer Night Sky.
It is low in alcohol and has a clear, slightly carbonated taste. It is very easy to drink.
I think it is a perfect drink for hot and humid nights.
It is very tasty.
We are receiving the familiar summer sake with the Shirokuma label again this year.
The hot and humid days are still continuing, but we are refreshed by drinking delicious sake.
This is Senkori Organic Naturals X 2023 sparkling.
Be careful when opening the bottle, because it will overflow when you open the lid.
The sizzling sound is irresistible.
It has a grape-like aroma that escapes from the nose. It is like a sparkling wine, but it is a sake. It is a perfect sake for the hot summer.
This sake will be gone in no time. It is very tasty!
It is Kaze no Mori Aizan 807.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a "tingling" and gaseous sensation. Perhaps because it is unfiltered, unpasteurized, unpasteurized sake, the rich sweetness, acidity, and bitterness spread to the palate with a refreshing aftertaste.
It is very tasty.
AKABU AIR 2023 from Akabu Shuzo Co.
It is easy to drink at 12 degrees alcohol by volume. As the name suggests, this sake reminds one of a clear blue sky. It also has a refreshing aftertaste.
The 02 lot is a slightly effervescent type made by secondary fermentation in the bottle, but it is so shrieky that it makes you think it's sparkling.
It is so fruity and delicious that you would think there were grapes in the bottle!
I would like to have more of it, 500ml will be gone in no time.
Nitoshi Junmai Daiginjyo Yumachi 48 Nama-nazake. This is the 333rd anniversary limited edition label of Maruishi Brewing.
This is the first time I have tasted Ni-Utsuri, and the fresh sweetness and well-balanced acidity that spreads on the palate after the slight gaseous sensation that is only possible with nama sake may be the very name "Ni-Utsuri".
This sweetness is unlike any other sake I have ever tasted.
It is a very delicious sake.
