Gunma G2 yeast sake 🍶.
This sake won the highest trophy in the Junmai Sake category of the IWC SAKE division in 2022: ❣️
That's great👍
My drinking friend brought me here.
Lunchtime drinking at a soba noodle restaurant🍶.
We both recently drank delicious sake from Gunma.
I know you've been to Gunma...! We said to each other "Gunma is here...!
We started the first round of drinks with Gunma's sake.
It's not sweet, but has a refreshing flavor?
It's good.

Both were delicious ♡♡♡
Gunma Izumi Maikaze Yamahai Junmai
Rating 4.4
Rice: 100% Maikaze, Polishing ratio: 60%, Sake meter: +3, Acidity: 1.6, Yeast: Gunma G2, Alcohol content: 15%.
The combination of G2 yeast with Yamahai brewing gives this sake a pleasant umami flavor and lingering aftertaste. It has a light and elegant structure with a sweetness suppressed by Yamahai and umami. It has a more expansive taste when lukewarm.
I drank it at a bar in a restaurant! The one I drank when I was told it was good!
I got it a little hotter than hot sake (not as hot as tobikiri hot sake).
I thought it would have a nice sharpness and full of umami because it's Yamahai,
I thought it would have a nice sharpness, but it had a great acidity with a great umami.
It's a good warmed sake!
Long time no see "Gunma Izumi".
I was looking forward to this bottle to see the difference from the basic Yamahai as it is a precious raw Ginjo type 👐.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was slightly like grain, prunes, and rum raisins.
The mouthfeel is surprisingly pale and slippery. However, when you taste it, you will find that it has a round and calm flavor. The flavor comes without being too assertive, and is sweet and austere, like a savory Western wine or jasmine tea.
The acidity spreads slowly, and the umami has a plump, rice-like flavor. The taste is so delicious that you can't help but drink it without thinking it is gone ✨.
It can be drunk on its own without being cloying or heavy.
It has a clean and deep Gunma sake-like flavor 👍.
Here is today's sake!
Yes, it's Gunma Izumi!
I'm looking forward to it since I knew the name but had never had it before😊They recommend heating it up to lukewarm, but I'll take it cold first✨.
When you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet and sour aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the lactobacillus in the elegant sweetness that only Yamahai can provide, and it finishes clean and crisp 🤭! Next time I would like to try it lukewarm ✨I'm looking forward to it 🤗.
Have a great night everyone ✨!
