Master also drank Morishima, and from here, Master will select from the store's recommended freshly squeezed new sake.
I will select a brand from the regular menu to compare.
The one chosen by the master was Yonetsuru!
We talked about the Yonetsuru meeting at Ami in Sendai and the memories of tasting various Yonetsuru.
Orange label on this day!
We used to compare the pure Yonekaku with the cloudy one!
The Ami store has closed this year 😵.
This new Yonekaku is very dry!
Let's make this cool and crisp since we also made it dry for the sake comparison.
The appetizers are all representative of Yamagata!
Edible chrysanthemum Enmeiraku, the sourness of which goes well with the dry sake!

We're going out for a drink, so we'll keep it short. It has a sweet melon aroma and gorgeous flavor, but when you drink it, it is crisp and dry. It is super dry, but slightly sweet and pleasant. It's wonderful.
I always see the sales staff of Yonekaku.
Every time I see him, he calls out to me, and now we have become good friends.
He recommended ELEKIMO, saying, "This is a little unusual. He recommended ELEKIMO. It looks like a slightly sweet wine, but it's made from a traditional sake yeast, so I think you'll be satisfied with it.
I see, I was right! It's good to have this kind of wine once in a while!
Please don't abuse me. I'll use my own sake words.
〜Thin layers, layered together to create a delicious mille-feuille.
Thank you for the feast!

Soft and deep taste.
#Sake
6/10
A sake made with Dewa-no-sato and No.6 yeast.
The taste is a bit subdued and the aroma is restrained.
It is a mature sake with a mild and slightly acidic taste.
The label says it can be warmed, but my impression is that lukewarm heating is just right for this sake.
