Akita Sake Komachi
Akita Sake Komachi is my first drink.
Slightly colored
Ripe 🍐 and ripe 🍎 aroma
It has a firm sweetness, with a hint of acidity on the finish.
Umami and rice taste.
It tasted a little like Yamadanishiki.
First Kijoshu
The aroma is fruity but not that strong.
In the mouth, the first impression is of a firm sweetness.
From there, the depth and richness of the taste comes out more and more.
In any case, it has a great breadth.
Aromas of sweet dried grapes, a little woody aroma with 🍎 and 🍍.
Not much bitterness or acidity.
Fruity aroma reminiscent of 🍎 and 🍍.
The sweetness is followed immediately by acidity and umami.
The sweetness is not too strong, but it is refreshing.
The acidity lingers through the aftertaste, giving it a refreshing impression in spite of its intensity of flavor.
It is just like a rice juice!
Personally, I think it could be the star of the show with just the sake itself, but...,
As the label says, it is a good sake for a meal.
I had it with sashimi, but I think it would go well with meat and other strong-flavored foods.
Kitanishiki

When you drink it, you will taste a little sweetness and then sourness.
Then gradually, a full and robust umami is felt.

I had it with incense, and I was right 😋.
Very fruity and aromatic.
Aromas of 🍎 and 🍌 with a hint of syrup
Well-balanced ginjo aroma
It seems to be a proprietary yeast.
Sweetness and a touch of acidity in the mouth.
The umami flavor spreads well through the aftertaste.
The taste is complex and gives the impression of nama-zake.
The taste of rice is moderate.
It is complex and mellow, as is typical of nama-zake,
but compared to ordinary nama-zake with live yeast, etc.
I think it has a more cohesive flavor than most nama-shu with live yeast, etc,
It may be my imagination, but 🤯.
Admiration for the technique.
Nama-zake that can be kept at room temperature for 12 months.
The advanced filtration system is said to be able to remove yeast and other bacteria without heating.
And a four-pack of Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake costs just over 1,000 yen!
As one would expect from a major manufacturer.
It was displayed at room temperature in the store, and chilled when drunk.
