3.6 It has been a long time since I have encountered Suitama. It is a beautiful, unusually cohesive Akita sake. I miss getting second place for this sake at the company's sake drinking party.
3.5 The first sip is so stimulating that you would think it was fizzy. But as you continue drinking it, it comes together well. It was quite a beautiful and tasty sake.
3.5 Recommended in a marriage with salty peppers by the restaurant. Definitely refreshing but powerful. But maybe too quirky to be memorable? Delicious is delicious.
3.9 The rice stands up in the first sip. Beautifully integrated, gentle and full-flavored. It shows the direction that Akita sake should aim for. Delicious.
3.55 Thirst-quenching and refreshing, but also tasty. It does not go well with tama-sound. But it goes well with fried food and minced boar skewers. It has a refreshing aftertaste.
3.5 It's a dry and robust dish, and as the name "onigiri" implies, it goes well with a variety of side dishes, this time with Uwa Jako Tempura (fish cake). Delicious.
3.5 The first bite was fishy, but while eating the crab, the fishy smell was removed and the crab was mellow. It was delicious along with the seasonal Kaju crab. Was the fishy smell due to the way the boar's mouth was washed?
3.4 Strong angular alcohol smell. But that doesn't mean it's not tasty, it's normal. Interestingly, the dessert was served with cheesecake, which brought out the full flavor of the rice.
3.6 Square sweetness, goes down the throat smoothly, strong enough to be eaten with Tosa's Imo-ten (sweet potato tempura), but square. You can expect a nice marriage, though you have to choose the right partner.
3.5 Akita's distinctive taste stimulates the tongue extensively. On the other hand, miscellaneous flavors are well eliminated and of stable quality. Serve with Itaya clams and kujo leek with vinegared miso.
