It has been hot and cold in Tohoku recently. But summer is surely approaching every minute. (Will this summer be hot again?)
Natsukasumi is refreshing, but it also has a firmness that is typical of Akabu. The bottle is also a light blue color, which anticipates the summer season.
Azakura's Omachi, draft.
I bought it this morning at a certain izakaya in Akita.
I just returned to Aomori and opened it immediately.
Is it because it is Omachi or because it is raw?
It is to my taste.
It is fruity with little acidity, and the fresh sweetness that goes through the nose is especially impressive. If I had the vocabulary, I would be able to tell you more about it... but, in my drinking life, there are only a limited number of sakes that remain in my heart.
More and more sake is being produced that (I think) is as good as wine. Beautiful, crisp, full-bodied, clear, sweet, and lingering. Goes well with fresh olives. (I think)
Compared to Dewa Sanzan, it has a gorgeous aroma, a "fluffy" sweetness, and a pleasant sourness with a deep flavor. In a word, it is an elegant sake, and its popularity is understandable.
It was dry when I opened it, but after leaving it for 4-5 days (on a business trip home), it changed completely, becoming gently sweet (fruity) and full-bodied (sharp) and very tasty.
It has a pleasant aroma, sweetness, ginjo flavor, and acidity that is not too harsh. It is fruity and crisp, with a slight richness lingering in the aftertaste. I think it has a good balance. I would like to drink it endlessly. Thanks to the brewer!
It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is a sake that goes well with a glass of wine. I would like to keep a bottle of this sake in my refrigerator.
It goes down your throat with a "innocent" feeling. It claims that its strength lies in the fact that it does not interfere with the flavors of the food with which it is served. (Compare with Kame-no-o).
I drink it late at night with a small sip of something.
I had some tasake in the fridge that I bought at the end of winter. Today a friend gave me some bonito tataki, so I paired it with that. It was definitely delicious.
My first sixty.
It was served at Akita Kurasu.
It is like a cocktail made with sake.
I felt it would be widely accepted by beginners, women, and connoisseurs of sake.
It was very delicious.
