Mellow and soft on the palate, with sweetness and acidity spreading out and then slipping away. It is an easy-drinking sake with little bitterness.

While waiting for the train, we had a cup of sake from Fuji of Dewa.
Since it is a cup sake, it is not very distinctive, but it has a sweet and fruity taste. The aftertaste is not too bitter, and it is easy to drink without any peculiarities. Or does the atmosphere change if you warm it up a little?

We hesitated between Kamikimoto and this one. This sake is from Haguro, Tsuruoka City.
Rather than being fruity, this sake has a strong rice flavor. The flavor and sweetness is slightly peachy. After that, the rice flavor comes and goes, followed by a bit of bitterness.
I imagined Kudoki-ue to be a bit more fruity, but since it is a 300 ml bottle sold at train stations, I guess it is a bit different. (Not that it tastes bad or anything.)

I would say that it is a sake to be served with yakiton (grilled pork and vegetables), but I like the fact that it is refreshing and yet does not interfere with a little bit of the umami. I personally like the fact that it is not too bitter and refreshing.

It is an ogoragami (a type of rice wine) made from 5hyakumangoku (five hundred million stone).
Even though it is an ogara-mi, it is a junmai daiginjo, so the aroma is mild.
It has a peachy-banana sweetness and smoothness. A little acidity finishes it off nicely. A stable brand.

First time drinking.
The first taste was a little lychee-like sweetness. The first saké has a sweetness like lychee, then a sweetness unique to rice, followed by an acidity that finishes the saké. I would like to try it with some of my other sakes.

At first, the flavorful and acidic taste is followed by the bitter taste, which makes you feel like you're drinking sake! I felt like I was drinking sake!

I found the recently talked-about Akabu, labeled 24/10.
The first sip went in like water, had a little bit of umami, and then quickly faded away. Maybe it was a little too cold.
Then I rolled it around in my mouth and found a soft, subtle peachy sweetness. Then there was an attack of acidity and a sense of brewing, and it was very smooth and clean. It may have been a little early in the day after being uncorked. But I can imagine how fresh it is when it is opened. I think you have to drink it right after opening it.

At a yakiton restaurant.
The mild mouthfeel continues for a little while. Then the acidity comes through in the aftertaste.
I have been drinking only umakuchi, so it has been a while since I have had something with this kind of mouthfeel.
It may be good for thick yakiton.
Manufactured in August 2024.
