Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of apricot and yellow peach. When you drop it in your mouth, the fresh acidity and the sweetness of tropical fruits spread. The taste is crisp, but it contains some bitterness. It is a good accent. The finish is the flavor of green apple. It lasts long. As written in the back label, this bottle is young. The texture is still rough. If possible, it is better to mature it at least 1 year. But, you can also enjoy it if you open it now.

The tips of this Ippon

This brewery is located in Akita Prefecture. Recently, people know there are a lot of good Japanese Sake breweries in Akita. However, in old days, Akita was thought it was not a proper area to brew good Japanese Sake because it was too cool for yeast. The birth of Yeast No.6 changed all. It could brew tasty Japanese Sake in cold areas. The 5th owner of this brewery found Yeast No.6 in 1930. 8th owner, who succeeded the brewery in 2012, decided that the brewery would brew their Japanese Sake only with No.6 yeast. After he had succeeded, he pushed up the brewery higher stage. The brewery was originally famous for brewing high quality Japanese Sake. He keeps on producing innovative products. “Colors” is the brand name which is brewed with only rice that is produced in Akita. 5 labels are listed as “Colors.” The different breeds are used to each bottle. They polish each rice to different ratios to make the most of each charm. This bottle is brewed with “Kairyou Shinkou.” This bottle is famous and it is hard to get it. If you find it, you must buy it. It is very lucky for me that I could get it.
