Purchased at the Yamaya Mamigasaki store near the Aeon Yamagata Kita store in the Murayama area (inland) of Yamagata Prefecture. I had seen them when I stopped by the store. It was the first time for me to buy it, but I bought it with all my heart. m(_ _;)mAt first, I drank 3 cups of it at room temperature, though I was intimidated by the box. The dry taste is a mystery word for beginners, but I was truly satisfied with the decision. Next, I heated it up (600W for 1 minute and 20 seconds), and the taste and deliciousness became more "layered" and "deep? Depth? I thought it might be a waste to drink it this way, but it was delicious and I was able to hustle while drinking it at night. It has an intense and pure finish that reminds me of the color of the sky at dawn." ←(quoted from the bottle label). I had an image that dry = scary, but it is very tasty. My physical checkup is the day after tomorrow. Every year I dread the results, but I've gotten used to the word "dry" and I'm starting to get familiar with it. With thoughts of history in mind. 20240219
Junmai, but more refreshing.
It would have been better if it had a little more umami.
It was served heated, so it seemed a little lacking in flavor.
Not too tiring to drink. Good for a mid-meal drink.
I would have preferred a little more umami.
First brand name 36 people.
It's kind of a stuffy name 😅.
It was recommended to me by a clerk at the store where I went to buy it.
recommended it to me and I had never had it before.
I decided to give it a try.
I decided to buy another bottle of the same brand and compare them 🙂.
I'll buy another bottle of the same brand and compare them 🫡.
This one is "Gyoten".
It is a junmai super dry sake with Miyamanishiki rice.
Polishing ratio is 60%.
It is also very refreshing.
I don't think it is super dry. 🤔.
It's definitely drier than the other one, but not as sharp as the other one,
But it is not so sharp as "super dry".
In comparison,
I think it's more refreshing than the other one.
I have an impression that it is "more refreshing".
It would be good with sashimi or other light food.
It is better to raise the temperature range.

This one is "Soten".
Junmai sake rice is Dewanosato.
The rice polishing ratio is 65%,
It is more refreshing than that.
However, the taste could be a little stronger.
I think it would be better if the taste were a little stronger. I think it could be a little more intense.
It would be better to raise the temperature range.

At about 12°C, it has a barrel aroma. It has a rich and deep flavor, but it is easy to drink. 8℃ cold sake may be just right, but it tastes different every year. Is it the temperature or the sake? I wonder.
Today we had stuffed green bell pepper and celery salad.
