はかたサバスキー
The sake rice is Akita Sake Komachi, with a sake strength of -35 and an alcohol content of 12.5%.
The initial aroma is somewhat grape-like.
When you take a sip, it tastes more like a sweet white wine than a sake.
It is not only sweet, but also has an exquisite acidity that gives it an elegant and mellow taste.
It would go well with cheesecake.
I was impressed that such a sake could be made from rice.
Thank you very much.

Purchased at an Antenna Shop in Northern Tohoku
They were having a new sake fair in Akita, so I chose Taiheizan, which I had never had before.

Cold sake.
Subdued aroma
Mouthfeel is smooth and easy to drink.
Fresh, but with an impressive acidity characteristic of the traditional sake making and a lingering aftertaste after drinking.
The image is that of a calm but affectionate sake, rather than a quiet and sturdy sake with a strong kamishimo style.

As in my previous post, I purchased this at an Akita local sake fair at an antenna store in the northern Tohoku region.
I sometimes see A-Sakura, but this label is new to me. Is it very rare?
At room temperature.
Slightly flowery aroma.
It has the characteristic medium mouthfeel of Akita sake, but with a strong rice flavor. The acidity and sweetness coming from the aftertaste are also characteristic. The aftertaste is quite long.
Suitable for intermediate-level sake drinkers.

This is a Fukkomachi, which is not often seen in Kansai, and my first kijo sake. It is extremely rare.

Sweet aroma like banana.
The taste is full of sweetness. However, it also has a strong rice flavor. It is as full as if you had a chocolate tart.

I bought this sake at an antenna store in Fukuoka that was holding an Akita sake fair.
It is a little bit rare.
At room temperature.
Not much aroma.
It is made with soft water, so it is not that heavy, but the umami of the rice is very strong. The impression is that it goes down the throat easily without any sticking point.
It has a good sharpness and a long aftertaste.
Suitable for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
