I had a chance to visit Akita on business, so I bought this Yuki no Bijin, which is only available in Akita Prefecture, at a local liquor store. It has a nice sourness from the malted rice on the palate, followed by sweetness. It is a bit like a Yonotori, a kind of Shinmasa. At first I was surprised, but once I got used to it, this moderate sourness and sweetness became pleasant and addictive.

Just the other day, I happened to have a chance to visit Hinomaru Brewery, the brewer of Manzaku, and purchased this freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake, which is available only when the brewery is open to the public. I was looking forward to drinking it, and now it was time to enjoy it. From the aroma, I could taste the elegant sweetness of rice. The sweetness rushes through the mouth and nose and disappears in the aftertaste. It was a great decision to buy it. The taste is on par with Mansaku's super limited edition. Postscript: I made the painful mistake of forgetting to buy the manzaku boar cup at Hinomaru, so I took a picture of it at a later date and added it to the photo.

I had to go to Akita, so I bought a total of four bottles of sake at a sake shop and a brewery. Today I enjoyed the first of them, Haruka "Misato Sake Rice Research Association", which is only available in Akita Prefecture. The sake cup was also purchased from Hinomaru Brewery. The moment I opened the bottle, I heard a bubbling sound. The aroma has a slight sourness and a hint of malted rice. The mouthfeel is pleasant, with a slight wine-like acidity and a slight fizziness, followed by a rich sweet aroma of rice that runs from the mouth to the nose at once. This sake is a hybrid of classic and modern styles.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late to take a proper picture. It has a nice acidity from the aroma of koji, which is typical of Shinmasa. It was the best ending to Eiraku and we were happy to receive the greeting from the proprietress at the end of the meal.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late in the day to take a proper picture. It has a strong mouthfeel similar to junmai ginjo, but the aromatic quality leaves a nice aftertaste, and the sharpness is not bad.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late to take a proper picture. It is a good "dry" sake. It has a sharpness that goes well with fish, and is good for the last half of a nightcap.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was too late in the day to take a proper picture. It does not look like old sake. The acidity is mild, rather light and dry, but also soft.

This is the drink I had at that Eiraku Restaurant. It was late so I couldn't take a proper picture. It has a nice acidity and a slight carbonation. It is the most expensive sake in Eiraku, and the cost is not good, but it is good. It has a nice white wine-like acidity.

Mansaku no Hana Super Limited Black was on sale and I got it right away. I have had Mansaku dozens of times, but this is the first time I have had this super limited edition. It was a recommendation from a friend, so I was looking forward to drinking it. Moreover, I was told that the black was an upgraded version of the regular super limited, so I was looking forward to it even more. I immediately drank it in a wine glass recommended by the brewery. The aroma was elegant and sweet. The aroma rushes through the mouth at once, followed by a refreshing taste that is typical of mansaku. The lingering crispness and sharpness are also excellent, and this sake truly lives up to its super-limited name. Detailed information below: Junmai Daiginjyo Ippatsu Hi-ire Genshu Koji rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Kake rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture Rice Polishing Ratio: 45 Alcohol Content : 16 Sake Degree: ±0 Acidity: 1.4 Amino acidity: 1.1 Yeast: M310

The moderate sweetness of the rice rushes through the mouth at once, but it is easy to drink without the excessive body and dullness that is often found in junmai ginjos. This sake is somewhere between classic and modern.

I happened to come across this sake when I visited Fukuhara Sake Shop. It is a "illegitimate" sake under a different brand name of Shuho Shuzo, and is a rare sake with a very limited number of distributors. The specs are undisclosed, but it is said to be more polished than Junmai Daiginjo. The aroma is elegant and sweet like a good Junmai Daiginjo. The elegant aroma rushes through the mouth at first, but it quickly fades away as the sake finishes. Instead, the koji aroma lingers in the mouth as a pleasant aftertaste, which also fades away quickly. It is rare to find a sake that is this elegant and has both a pleasant lingering aftertaste and a good sharpness, and this is a "hole-in-the-wall" sake that has not yet been fully discovered. This is too cheap at 1,650 yen.

Takashimizu in a heightened Akita mood. When drunk cold, it is refreshing on the palate while the koji-like sweetness and aroma can be felt in the back of the mouth through the flavor. When it is served cold (at room temperature), the koji flavor becomes stronger from the aroma, and the taste of koji can be felt firmly on the palate.

No photo. It is a raw wine with a bit of a dry oak flavor, but it was easy to drink because the body was not harsh.
