Polishing rice 65
Slightly spring-like aroma. 🌸?
Fresh and dry, typical of spring sake. It is tangy and spicy with a touch of acidity. Easy to drink!
You can drink it without any snacks. I want to watch cherry blossoms with it.
Polished rice 60
Aroma of sakura mochi (cherry blossom cake). Softly, but...
This one has a strong acidity! It might be called sweet, but it's not sweet at all, it's a very acidic sake.
It is very easy to drink, with none of the alcoholiness that always bothers me. Akabu's seasonal sake may be good!
60% polished rice
Muscat-like aroma. Aroma is very sweet.
It tastes super fruity. It tastes thick like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine).
You can also taste lychee. It has a pleasant sourness and is very good. You don't need any snacks. You should drink it as it is!
Ibi no Homare, 80% polished rice
Aroma: A pungent aroma that hits the nose. The fruity attack is delicious, isn't it? But then the miscellaneous flavors attack with a gusto.
The lingering aftertaste is just the right length. It leaves a fluffy umami taste, but it is not unpleasant.
I am satisfied with this unique taste. ☺️
70% polished rice
Aroma of fluffy 🍎. Sourness. A little bit of alcohol.
It tastes like cheap regular sake, but after a while it becomes sweet and refreshing. Surprisingly, there is no sourness.
Received as a gift.
Polished rice 60%.
The rice is wet and has no characteristics. Upon closer inspection, it was 60% polished rice. There is no ginjo aroma, but there is no cloying taste.
Polishing 45%.
It seems to have been opened on New Year's Day, so the carbonation was gone (lol).
It is cloudy. It tastes like doburoku. More miscellaneous taste than bitterness? No sweetness at all.
It's totally drinkable, though.
Polishing rice 70%.
Sake from Shimane, and cheap, so I bought it on impulse. I bought it on impulse at Tokyu Food Show in Shibuya.
The aroma is a little bit sweet, but the flavor is strong.
It has a strong umami flavor. The acidity is a bit strong on the palate. The aftertaste is quite long!
Not too pungent, but not sweet either. It has an interesting taste!
Maybe it's a food sake. It's not too much of a distraction, but it's nice.
It's 90% polished rice and even has hops in it.
The color is very muddy.
There's a lot of miscellaneous taste. It also has a sour taste.
It looks like a neo-nihon-shu, which is great as an entry point for people who don't like nihon-shu. I think the miscellaneous taste comes from the hops.
