Osaka Sake Tasting: One Cup Series 1) Akishika Brewery-Chiaki Junmai

The other day once again thanks to her husband, my good friend Atsuko Kurata offered me this one cup sake from Osaka Prefecture as part of a batch of no less than 8 cups from 6 different Prefectures!
This particular sake brewed by Akishika Brewery has been made famous by its deer (actually both stag and doe) character!

Rice milled down to 70%
Alcohol: 14~15 degrees
Bottled in February 2015

Clarity: very clear
Color: faint golden hue
Aroma: Rice, dark chocolate
Body: Fluid
Taste: Dry and fruity attack backed with only a little junmai petillant.
Dark chocolate, coffee beans, almonds, azuki beans.
Lingers for a while on the palate before disappearing with more dry coffee beans.
varies little with food but for a drier note.

Overall: Solid and reliable sake, obviously designed to accompany dfood.
Best drunk with vegetables and pickles.
Beautiful present, too!
