First time to drink "akabu", Iwate Prefecture's sake rice, Yui no Kou. One word: delicious. It has a rich, sweet, umami flavor. It is like Jyushiyo. There is a very faint hint of vinegar ethiene, but it is not bothersome. It is rich but has a clean aftertaste.
It is not sweet. Even liquor stores describe it as "medium".
Slightly sweet aroma, clear color with just enough bubbles to form a cup. The sweet flavor spreads slowly. Slightly bitter at the end. The impression is more refreshing than expected. You can drink as much as you want.
The sweetness seems to increase as the day goes by.
Momoten. Initially, it is a top clear with no oli. Sweet aroma with mild sweetness. Overall light image. Next, mixing in the oli. A little mellowness and a little bitterness at the end. The bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. Slightly carbonated.
On the second day, the bitterness fades, and the sweetness and flavor are added. Delicious.
Sweetness from beginning to end. There is some umami in the middle, and maybe a slight acidity at the end. Overall, the wine is nicely balanced. Good balance.
If you drink a lot at once, you will get a little bored.
It has a mild sweet aroma, and is less sweet and more umami than the sake I have been drinking. The final taste is refreshing, with no alcohol taste, and I can see why it is so popular.
The sweetness gradually disappears. Bitterness is starting to appear.
The next day, the sweetness is felt again. The bitterness disappears. Maybe because I shook the bottle before pouring it in.
Sweet fresh aroma, sweet and tasty togetherness, a refreshing feeling of slight bubbles, tasty oli, and landing with a slight bitterness. Thickness. This is delicious.
Not much change even after 2 days. It is one of the less sweet (though sweet) of the Kangiku I've had recently.
A clear taste with no clutter. Excellent balance of sweetness and acidity. The acidity is good enough to make even those who love sweet and tasty wine think it is delicious.
Premium Ihyakumangoku. I wrote in the past that it should not be premium, but it has a strong umami flavor with no cloying taste. I thought that Gohyakumangoku would not go well with Hana-yoso, but it was good. It may be because it is premium. It is gorgeous and has a strong sweet flavor. The sweetness is not as sharp as that of Kangiku, but rather broad. Naturally, the price is higher, but it is good once in a while. It is delicious.
It has a rich sweet taste, similar to Kangiku Hashu Honor, which I was drinking until yesterday. It also has a sweet aroma. The beginning and the end are clearer than Kangiku. Delicious.
This is delicious. It is rich with a mixture of sweetness and umami. It is easy to drink without the smell of alcohol. The brewer of Jyushidai developed Hazhu Homare. It certainly has a flavor reminiscent of Jyushiyo. The aftertaste is not too clean and leaves a nice aftertaste. It is a perfect match.
Omachi from last February, orikarami. It was sleeping in the liquor store. It was probably the lot we drank in September last year.
The aroma is still very strong. The sweetness is moderate on the first day and should increase on the second day. The last day, you can taste a little bitterness.
The second day is also the first day. The aroma and sweetness come together. It is not a clear sweetness.
The sweetness comes after it goes in quickly. After that, there is a slight bitterness. Overall, it is a clean and refreshing sake. There is no smell of alcohol, and the aroma that passes through the nose is pleasant.
On the 4th day, the sweetness has increased. It is starting to taste a bit like hana-yosu.
The owner says this year's is not white grape-like. It has a thin sweet flavor with a noticeable acidity. There is a little lactic acidity. Slightly thin impression.
Sake Mother Sake. The initial stage of sake brewing. Sake degree -100, acidity 6.0, alcohol 5.0%. Slightly yellow, thick, tangy and slightly effervescent. The acidity comes first, more like apples than sweetness. After that, there is a strong sweetness. The nose is slightly acidic.
After the second day, the acidity disappears. The sweetness comes first. The acidity becomes more mature.
