Gassan Shuzo
Ginrei-Tsukizan Daiginjo
This brewery is located in Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture.
The rice is polished to 45% Yamagata rice.
Gorgeous aroma and gentle rice flavor.
Smooth and clean taste.
#Sake
Not much aroma for a ginjo sake.
No rice flavor. It is easy to drink, but the acidity is a little strong.
It tastes good, but it is not like a daiginjo.
However, the price is cheap for a daiginjo.
[The 2nd Annual Bishu Competition Grand Tasting
The next drink was 🍶.
Ginrei-Gassan Junmai-Shu Sasarazuki
It has a thin, fluffy rice aroma, a light, refreshing sweetness, followed by a sweet and sour sharpness and a lingering aftertaste.
According to the brewery, the sweetness is enhanced when chilled to a crisp.
This sake won a gold medal in the "Raw Alcohol" category of the current competition!
The system is to select multiple gold award winners in each category, and the first place in each category and the first place overall [Bishu of the year 2024] is decided from among the gold award winners 🤔.
I've had "Gassan" before, but this is my first time to try "Ginrei-Gassan" 😁.
The sweet and sour aftertaste was fresh and I would like to try the brewery's recommended drinking method✨.
It's a [moon sake] with [crescent moon] written firmly on the label 🌛.
A little ginjo aroma.
It is refreshing, and the degree of sweetness and spiciness is somewhere in the middle.
The richness is moderate, and there is no harsh taste.
Ah, this is the type of sake that you can drink like water, and when you realize it, it's dead...
The aroma is there, and it tastes like rice.
It is not very refreshing, but has a long aftertaste.
There is no alcohol taste, and the impression is that it is suitable as a food wine.
As is typical of nama-zake, it is clear and free of any unpleasant taste.
It is dry, but the sweet aroma after drinking almost makes you mistake it for a sweet sake.
It is delicious, but I prefer a little more sweetness.
