I received this as a gift from my wife at the beginning of this year. I don't often buy alsobe for myself, but it tastes well-rounded and easy to drink.
Junmai Ginjo-shu Tsukimi-Usagi
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% Dewa Sanzu, 60% polished rice
ALC 15 degrees, Sake degree +3.0, Acidity 1.5
This sake was purchased at the "Hinoki-no-Sato" sake store in the Yamagata Station building where we arrived.
Since this year is the Year of the Rabbit, I bought it because of the cute rabbit back figure on the label, the fact that it is a junmai ginjo-shu, and because I was looking forward to comparing it with the special junmai sake [Jusui].
I think it is light and slightly dry. However, I didn't really notice the "fruity aroma" that was written on the label. This is just my personal impression.
My fellow travelers' evaluation was almost the same. Maybe Jusui was too good...
I had some left over at the after-party, so I had it at Izakaya Shinkansen on my way home.
Yamagata Station Hinoki-no-Sato: 20230120
Made with 100% organic rice from Yamagata Prefecture, Dewa-no-sato. Autumn flavor. Slightly dry, with a delicious taste of rice. It has a full-bodied taste with a refreshing finish.
This sake is from Yamagata Yonezawa🍶.
It was close to the middle when expressed on the chart and had a good balance.
We had it at the restaurant.
Maybe I should have drunk it first 😃🍶.
