Sake without seasoning chemicals made with high-temperature Yamahai yeast. Read as "hakikyoku-kou"? Drink chilled.
It has a grain-like aroma, with little sweetness and a sharp acidity at its core, which is intertwined with umami and bitterness. It has a crisp overall impression with no aftertaste.
Good as a food sake. It is also good as a warmed sake.
Yellow taste, sweetness of rice like Junmai and long lingering aroma. It is the first time for me to feel that the slight acidity enhances the sweetness. This is the kind of deep richness that comes from natural lactic acid bacteria that was mentioned in the introduction.
Today's second cup of sake from Chiba, a Yamahai sake.
This one was a delicious sake with a big sense of peculiarity and the acidity of Yamahai.
The alcohol content is about 18%, but you don't feel it that much.
It was easy to drink.
The production date is also a bit old.
Production date 19.11

I had this sake last time, and I had it again.
Last time I had it cold, so this time I had it hot.
This time I had it hot, and it was better than cold, because the feeling of the sake spread to my mouth and I drank it a little slower.
4/5
I don’t know that I’ve had a junmai yamahai muroka namagenshu before. This had that complex yamahai taste. The first sip zigzagged across the palate: rich and smooth, sweet and bitter... After that, each sip was different, but more contained. I tasted creaminess, but also that interesting combination of sweet and bitter.
