Lightly acidic and sweet, it was finished cleanly and tasted delicious. It was a delicious sake with a slight taste of rice in the fruity flavor.

The sweetness comes to the forefront a bit, so there are some surprises, but the acidity makes it a refreshing drink. It was a fruity and delicious sake.

I walked to the Shinsei brewery in the morning, bought some souvenirs at Akita Station, and just as I was wondering where to spend my free time, I found a bar where I could drink Shinsei before noon! I was able to get my revenge for not being able to drink yesterday.
It is Shinsei Sansho (Earth).
It is fresh with a slight sourness. It is a taste I have never had before.
I had it with a cheese dip of pickled ginger and it was a perfect match 🍶.
I'm going back to Osaka: ✈️

I saw Niimasa at a standing bar at Akita Station. It was a delicious, fruity sake with moderate acidity, sweetness, and a unique gasiness typical of Shinmasa.

Wonderful! The best!

We are on a trip to Akita from today. This is the first drink I had when I arrived.
It is delicious. Even people who are not familiar with sake seem to like it.

I drank it after the Vigilian. This one had a more easily recognizable personality. It was more acidic and refreshing. I felt a little yogurt-like flavor. Umamama.

This is the much talked about Shinsei brand that I impulsively drank when I wandered by and saw it on the menu. It has a fruity but dry taste. I guess this is what they mean by "light". Maybe it was my physical condition (a little stuffy nose), but I couldn't detect much aroma. It is certainly good.

I saw this Isshaku Suisei Yamadanishiki at Sugahisa on my last visit to Akita.
I found it at Akita Kurasu!
I asked for a second glass!
Fresh and fruity compared to the previous Yonotori!
Light and easy to drink like a white wine!
As this is a stand-up, corner store, the time limit of 20 minutes had come!
We left the restaurant and went to another one!
It is getting colder in the morning and evening in the Tohoku area!
On the other hand, it is still hot during the daytime 😵.
I ate cold noodles and worked hard!
knowledge
Fukurokuju Shuzo brews Yamadanishiki every year, but it used to be all Daiginjo-exhibited sake. This is the only Junmai Ginjo brewed with Junmai Ginjo, and it is a very valuable limited edition sake. It is a limited edition sake with high potential, made from 100% special grade Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, and is shipped in full force during the hiyaoroshi season. The sweet, gorgeous, beautifully fruity, slightly cute and delicate flavor is like a fine white wine. It gives off a rich flavor with a good sense of maturity after the fall, and the lively acidity tightens the aftertaste, giving it a body that you will never get tired of drinking. In any case, it is an autumn sake that will be simply delicious and enjoyable as the cup progresses.

Last night was October 26th.
I was told that on days with a 6 in them, you can enjoy a 3-drink comparison of Shinmasa at Akita Kurasu.
I was told that the last order was 7:30 p.m., so I visited the restaurant just before the end of the day, but to my disappointment, I was told that there were no more available due to limited quantities!
When I asked what they had for single dishes, they told me that the Ace had run out at the last minute and they only had the Yonotori!
Since I had come all this way, I asked for it.
Kijoshu, good to start with!
It's good as an after-dinner drink, but I think it's also good to start with this sweetness on an empty stomach 👌
I had the iburi goko cheese 🧀 with crackers and sipped on it!
extensive knowledge
When sake is brewed with sake instead of water, it is called kijoshu. Shinsei-style sake is made with junmai sake, which has no alcohol added. It has a mild aroma of honey and citrus grapefruit, and in the mouth it has a rich sweetness reminiscent of the finest honey or noble wine, with an assertive acidity unique to Shinsei that gives the sake its full flavor.

The third category is the most expensive Viridian
Sourness with a little heaviness
The price is very reasonable to compare 3 kinds of wine at this price!
I would like to go to Eiraku Shokudo if I can go there.
They have a better selection than Eiraku Shokudo.
When I looked at the different colors on Shinsei's website, I found that the Lapis was no longer listed!
I guess they don't sell any more.
I visited Sugahisa, but Niimasa didn't have any left this time, so I couldn't buy any 😭
By the way, the thickness of Iburi Gako available at Akita Kurasu is amazing!
200 yen for this!
Knowledge
Also known as "Viridian".
It is made from Misato Nishiki, Akita's premium sake rice. The rice is polished to 50% using flat milling, a polish that best demonstrates the potential of "Misato Nishiki. Ten Go Go" is the thickest and most lingering of the Colors lineup, and has a powerful finish. It is also one of the most improved products in recent years, due in part to the switch to pesticide-free cultivation in most of the planted areas. It has a full, rich flavor right out of the bottle, but it also has a long aging potential that rivals that of Ash Earth.
Content: 720ml
Rice type : Misato Nishiki
Rice Polishing Ratio : Koji Rice 45%, Kake Rice 50%.

The second category is Cosmos 2021.
Cosmos is also the third time we've looked into it.
2021 after 2017 and 2020.
I don't remember this difference but it has a slight acidity and smooth mouthfeel
Let's drink it while soaking up the aftertaste 🍶.
a great deal of knowledge

It was first produced in Akita in 1959 as "Kosmos Nobukou," a rice suitable for sake brewing. It is a sibling of Miyamanishiki because of its parentage of "Nobukou 190". However, the taste of "Miyamanishiki" gives the impression of being hard, while "Koso-Shinko" is smooth and smooth.

August 26th
Eririn-san said that days with a 6 in them are days when you can drink Shinsei-san.
I happened to arrive in Akita on this day, so I took a peek at Akita Kurasu.
Perfect timing, no customers!
We drank some iburigakko with our drinks, and around this time, we asked for Shinmasa-san!
I heard that you can choose 3 from 5 kinds of drinks on the menu!
If that's the case, I'll start with the Flax Cat Spark 2020!
This is my third Sake no Wa post!
I've been drinking 2019 and 2020 so far!
Compared to Hanamup, it has a different schwash and grapefruitiness from Yukino Kayasha!
It's a good feeling to drink different kinds of sake...
After this, customers arrived one after another!
Akita Kurasu is a popular restaurant!
extensive knowledge
The aroma is citrusy and refreshing with a slight woodiness. On the palate, it has a shwashy, refreshing, champagne-like bubbly feeling. The lingering finish is crisp and slightly dry. There is a grapefruit-like nuance in the nose.

Before moving on to Shinsei, I'm curious about the menu.
Hyoketsu?
Shabi-Shabi-Sake?
It was already prepared in a Tupperware like powder snow!
Sipping it with a small spoon, I finished it in no time!
Good on a hot day!
They said there were no bottles available.
extensive knowledge
A writer who once visited the brewery during a heavy snowfall created the sake name "Yukino Kayasha" from the winter scenery of snow-covered farmhouses with shingled roofs that dotted the road on his way home. This light, slightly effervescent light nigori sake has a nostalgic sensibility, as if such scenery were directly expressed in the sake. This limited-edition product has a somewhat nostalgic yet refreshing flavor.
