It has been about 2 years since I had a chance to drink Akabu Amber.
It is refreshing and not cloying in its sweetness.
This is the first autumn sake I have had this year and it is delicious.
★★★★★
This is a light, cloudy, shwashy sake.
At first, I thought it was a little too light, but after a few days, the sweetness became more pronounced and I liked it best of all the sake in this series.
Gohyakumangoku is a good sake rice.
★★★★★
This was the first time I drank sake made from So no Mai.
The foaming sensation was so great that the lid flew off when the bottle was opened lol.
A little bitterness is emphasized, well balanced and suitable for a mid-meal drink.
★★★★
It has a refreshing taste and is easy to drink with a clear eye.
It is not dry, but tasty and delicious.
It's hard to find any other Akabu these days except for the standard ones, so I'll try my best to get some next time.
★★★★
It is juicy and has a strong umami flavor.
It has a little bit of alcohol content, but it has a lot of umami and would go well with strong flavored food as a food sake.
★★★★★
Today's dinner was a very special kaiseki course 🎵.
There was a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai that I had never had before, so I ordered it!
It has a refreshing, slightly sharp taste that is summery and easy to pair with a meal.
★★★★
Two years ago I drank a different kind and enjoyed it so much I bought all the kinds I hadn't drank.
This time I had the Koshihikari.
When I first opened it, I thought it was a bittersweet and bitter, but as the day went by, the sweetness and umami increased and the impression was completely different from the first time I drank it, which was interesting. ☺️
★★★★
The last of the Sentori summer sake!
This is my first time drinking this gold.
It is a kijo sake, so it is thicker than the others and tastes a little like lactic acid.
Not so much among these three types.
★★★★★
A bottle that was very difficult to open.
I was very careful to open it and this time I opened it without spilling it.
It has a slightly bitter taste and is suited for a mealtime drink.
It is freshly opened, so I look forward to seeing how it tastes when it settles down.
★★★★
This year, we will compare three kinds of sake.
Speaking of summer, Sengoku Kabutomushi!
As it is called "Adult Lemon Squash", it is sweet and sour and great as a summer sake!
★★★★★
Second glass of Shinsei today 👀.
I wonder if this is the first time I'll be drinking Earth 🎵.
It's more bitter than the Viridian and more tame on the acidity.
It's good, but I think I'm a Viridian guy.
★★★★★
It was a day when Shinmasa was available for drinking, so I took a sip!
The first sip was a little bitter, but as I drank more, I got the impression that it was not so bitter, but rather refreshing with a sourness that passes through the nose.
★★★★★
A unique sake produced by Chiba-based Kidoizumi Shuzo. The rice is polished to 90% and the alcohol content is 15%.
At first glance, the color and taste do not resemble sake, but rather a sherry-like flavor.
The perfect balance of acidity and umami makes it a perfect pairing with food.
★★★★★
It was gone in an instant before I could write my thoughts.
I drank it last year and enjoyed it, so happy to buy it again this year 😀.
It was swishy and all I remember is that it was very tasty lol
★★★★★
AFS was so good that I tried a different kind!
It was less acidic and had a unique taste, which gave the impression that it was not to my liking when I first drank it.
A few days later, I tried it again and found it to be milder and easier to drink. It became easier to drink, but I thought this kind was okay.
★★★
One of the best summer sake I've ever had from Akabu!
It is refreshing, slightly sour, and low in alcohol, so it is easy to drink and at a level where it is gone in an instant.
It was slightly similar to Shinmasa in taste (though not as sour as that one).
I would definitely buy it again next year if I could 🎵
