This sake has a mild aroma and a clean, refreshing taste. ←(Quoted from the official pamphlet of Yamagata Prefecture Sake Wholesaler.
The name "Yonekaku" comes from the image of an ear of rice bowing to the sake, and from the local folk tale "Tsuru no Ongyo" ("The Return of the Crane"), which expresses the brewery's wish to make a sincere sake that conveys its gratitude. From the official website of the ← Sake Brewery. I am learning the brand names of Yamagata's sake, but I was not sure if it was Okihama or Murayama. Murayama? Mogami? Shonai? I often have trouble remembering them.... But it's good if I can remember them one by one like this.
I'm going to enjoy the delicious sake while imagining the story of the red devil that never existed. I will add my evaluation later.

Fire-brewed, limited edition
Let's take a look at it,
The first thing you notice is the freshness with a little bit of gas.
The taste is fresh with a little bit of gas,
Then, the taste changes and the aftertaste is sharp.
But you can also taste the flavor of rice in it 😆.
You can enjoy it even during a meal.
It is a new kind of sake 🍶❢❢.
Purchased at Ikoma Sake Shop together with Sawahime Yamahai.
It is said to be aged for about 3 years.
The top aroma is a little ripe, but when you put it in your mouth, it is beautiful and there is no sense of maturity. There is no cloying taste, and there is a hint of sweetness and minerality. It is a food type wine, but personally, I can drink it on its own.
Sannomiya elevated public liquor store Inoue report 1️⃣
We revisited Inoue under the elevated JR Sannomiya station, which we visited last November and has a large selection of one-cup drinks from all over Japan.
Except for the one-cups, they had Yonekaku (rice cranes), so I ordered one cup first 🍶.
It's labeled as "super spicy" but the umami flavor spreads on the tongue and goes right through ✨.
I drank it in one gulp and went to the next one right away💨.
I put them in the wrong order💦.
I was allowed to drink it at Icoma Sake Shop😊.
They said it's the 2017 Yonetsuru. I can't read the back label almost 🤣.
It's about 7 years old, but I don't mind the aged feel.
I felt it was a bit floral and thought it was almost not pungent.
I thought the color of the label was unusual.
They said they didn't have enough to sell, but I quite like the type.
Good morning, bouken!
Yonetsuru is the sake that made me fall in love with sake 🎵.
Of course, there are so many different kinds of sake from the same brewery 😲.
I'm impressed that bouken-san is able to come across this kind of sake as well!
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃.
Yonetsuru was the sake that got you hooked 😊.
It's interesting how different people have different sake that they get hooked on 😃.
This time I happened to have a precious sake at the right time 🤗.
