Eikofuji Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Yame-naru Akimizu Limited Edition
Rating 4.5
Rice: Dewanosato (Yamagata Prefecture), Rice polishing ratio: 38%, Yeast: Yamagata yeast, Sake meter: -3, Acidity: 1.7, Alcohol: 16.7%.
Dewanosato" has a high rate of heart white (the cloudy white part in the center of the rice), and because of its large heart white, it tends to crack when highly polished, but this sake is polished to 38%.
It has a clear, well-rounded flavor typical of Dewanosato. The name "YAMINARI SHUSUI" means "a limited-edition autumn sake whose delicious flavor fills the mouth even when the eyes are closed or in the dark.
The low-protein rice, "Dewanosato," is polished more than usual, resulting in a clean taste with no cloying flavors. It is a perfect autumn sake. The aroma is citrusy, with green apple and white peach flavors, and has a moderate body. It can be enjoyed on its own or as an in-between-dinner drink.
It is also delicious hot-warmed at 50°C (122°F)! The aroma spreads. The acidity is also good, and the end result is refreshing.
The mouthfeel has a chirichiri-feeling typical of Eiko-Fuji, with a fruity, sweet-tart juicy sake quality at its base. There is also the gorgeousness, cleanliness, and delicacy typical of junodai, as well as the freshness, rice flavor, and roughness typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
Personally, I thought it was most well-balanced immediately after opening the bottle, but it was also surprisingly good to savor it slowly after a few days had passed.
I prefer Alchemist, which is sold at the same time of the year, but there was a sense of satisfaction that made me think about buying Snake Eye next year.
Even the children who are into Oni no Kiri no Kiri (Blade of the Demon) liked it because it was a rusty rabbit and Makomoko mask. The kitchen-ness is also appealing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.
I'll take a survivor today from "Glorious Fuji," which is no longer a good drink for any of us ✨.
The label is fancy this time too 😆.
Eikoufuji is very helpful in listing the specs on the back label 🍶.
First, enjoy the sweet and gorgeous aroma, then make love to ......
Mmmmmm 😋✨
Umami + sourness + sweetness + richness = delicious 🥰.
No, I already knew the answer lol.
The sweetness comes in first, but there is also a certain amount of acidity, which is in perfect harmony with the umami ✨✨.
The lingering aftertaste is also very nice 💕
Of course it can be paired with a meal, but I personally prefer to enjoy it on its own 🍶🍶.
I love Eiko Fuji, they never disappoint 😍.
Good evening, Joker!
Eikoufuji, your label is fancy 😁✨✨.
Survival looks delicious 🤤🤤.
I also had it last year and recall it being well balanced and delicious 😋😋.
Good evening, ma-ki 😊.
I love your labels, they are all so fancy and fun to look at ♬
Survival's specs seem to change a bit from year to year, so if you can get your hands on this year's, please give it a try ✨.
Time for the Master Black Fox.
The year 2025 has come and gone.
