Warm up a little at home...
I just showed up at the store 😊.
There are 40 nanuka nanoka...
I've never had this before... so I ordered it 😁.
It's milled 40, so it's fruity, but for some reason it also feels chemical: ☝️
It's good...I guess...but it was hard to describe the taste...hmmm 😊.
Maybe there is something wrong with my tongue 😂.
Good morning Kano 😃
I was wondering if you would like to warm up with Nukosama and have something to drink, Nanuka Nanoka... more Na rows of sake activity 😄.
Also at a drinking center near Yamagata Station.
It is quite aromatic. The aroma is rich.
It was a Junmai Daiginjo with quite a messy or complex flavor.
It has a strong rice flavor and a short aftertaste.
It could be served warm or hot.

This is the third kind of sake I purchased on my trip to Yamagata 🤗.
Today I had an event for my grandson and some members of the group to drink, so I opened two four-packs of Yamagata Prefecture's local sake 😋😅.
It is a slightly dry sake with a subtle ginjo aroma, sweetness in the mouth for a moment, followed by a sour taste.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu with a clean aftertaste that you will never get tired of drinking.

Aurus. I have often heard of Otokoyama, but this was my first time to try Yamagata's Hanyo Otokoyama. Today was all about Yamagata, and many of the sakes were new to me. I will come back to learn more.
Another Yamagata Sande series.
My father-in-law gave it to me.
I have more Yamagata sake than Tochigi for some reason.... It's just that we have a connection since our school days 😂.
My first Hanyo Otokoyama❗.
I used to pass by a sake brewery once upon a time 😆.
Now, the taste...
Slightly sweet aroma.
The mouthfeel is a little sweet from the rice, but it's quite refreshing and a little dry and crisp.
I had high expectations for this sake alone because it is 100% future sake, but I think it would have tasted even better with sashimi or other dishes as a food sake☺.
Yamahai" is an abbreviation for "Yamahoshi", which means the process of grinding down the steamed rice after the sake mother has been prepared.
Yamahai" refers to the process of mashing the steamed rice after brewing the sake mother,
This is done to make it easier to melt the rice.
In the Meiji era (1868-1912), it was realized that rice could be sufficiently melted by koji alone if the process was devised without yamahoshi.
The Yamahai method was born when it was discovered that rice could be sufficiently melted by the power of koji if the process was devised without yamahoshi.

I'm going to write this down before drinking. I was supposed to write this before drinking, but the 300ml bottle was empty before I knew it. The brand name "Hanyo Otokoyama" is associated with the Otokoyama Hachiman Shrine in Kyoto, and the sake brewed with subterranean water from the Mt. ←From the official website. The taste of this limited edition sake is more generous and gentle than crisp, and it is a delicious sake from the country of Hinomoto with a lot of depth. It was so, so exceptional that I finished it in a blink of an eye.
