Product details
Akita sakekomachi is an original sake rice developed by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Akira prefecture aiming to be a quality sake rice like the yamadanishiki. This sake rice tends to produce sake that is clean and soft but Azakura has made a sake with a stronger body. Using Akita Yukiguni UT-2 yeast, suitable for storage at room temperature, this sake has a reserved aroma and a good balance between acidity and clean aftertaste. This sake is more reserved in the series of 3 sake. It is one that fits well with any cuisine.
Azakura has been using good water and specially selected sake rice. They have a strong fan base within the prefecture and outside as well. They have been using new types of yeast and rice to improve their quality. Their sake tend to have a solid umami and a clean aftertaste. By changing the sake rice, the difference is quite noticeable, especially with the products above Junmai has juicy and fruity flavors.
