Hi friends. You might be busy for preparing new year. Have you finished all your work? If you want to enjoy new year as Kumamoto-jin, you should buy 赤酒Akazake.
Akazake is very famous Kumamoto Nihonshu. Of course, it’s made in Kumamoto, Kawashiri. It’s very close to my elementary school I work. Few weeks ago, I visited the Sake maker,瑞鷹 ZUIYOU,as study visit with 3rd grade students.(東肥Touhi is a part of ZUIYOU) The staff explained the Akazake is colored by ash. They put ash into sake to stop to oxidize, keep as sake, not to become vinegar. Old days sake in Japan were all colored red. They keep the old way to make Akazake still now and we, Kumamoto-jin love the red sake as celebrate alcohol in new year. I’m local Kumamoto citizen. After bringing up, I know the Akazake is only Kumamoto prefecture new year celebrate sake.😂 I like the sweet taste. It reminds my family new year memory.Of course, I bought this year too. I recommend the Kumamoto Lovely taste in your new year!! Hoping your Happy New year 2020💖ーAtsuko(Ü)
