Among the closest shapes (at most one axis off by one step), ordered by score. Re-reviews of the same sake are excluded and each brewery appears once. Where fewer than four qualify, the next closest shapes fill the gap.
PAIRINGCOMING SOON
Akabu, the brand from a young brewery that has drawn attention in recent years, finally arrives. A refreshing aroma carries a hint of ripe tropical fruit. The clear liquid on top offers a clean flavour with a short finish. Stir in the nigori (cloudy sediment) and it evolves further — umami and fizz join in, finishing in a beautifully balanced result.
