The aroma is subdued.
The clean, pleasant acidity and the alcohol kick that comes later in the throat give it a less classic sake feel, despite its faint yellow appearance.
It has won the gold medal of the "Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Award" for three consecutive years starting in 2019.
I made a hasty selection at a kiosk I entered when changing trains at Okayama Station, and it was a winner.
I opened one today that was included in a grab bag I purchased.
I had received Dokpo beer before, but this was my first sake from the brewery.
When I drank it, I thought it was easy to drink and the aroma through the nose was guttural, but it also smelled like bananas, as described on the package.
It is very easy to drink, but it is also a brand that makes you feel like you are drinking sake! It is a brand that makes you feel like you are drinking sake.
I will repeat this again.
Yonago after a long absence.
Probably the last Yakumo-go (Super Yakumo) really.
A cup of sake and a cup of mamakari.
It is a kind of sake that doesn't stay on the tongue and goes down your throat easily.
When you drink it, the sweetness disappears when you think it has been sweetened.
There is no bitterness at all! It is a refined sake.
The sweet vinegar after eating mamakari is also washed away.
I have found another great sake.
I know I'm a couple of days late, but Happy New Year! I look forward to working with you again this year.
I am also a victim of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, and I feel that the Noto disaster is no stranger to me.
When the time comes when I will not be bothered by the disaster, I would like to go to Ishikawa to drink sake and help the recovery efforts, even if only a little.
Nobu Nobu, I look forward to working with you this year😊.
Cup of sake, it looks delicious as it is! It's a pity I've never ridden Yakumo 😢 Enjoy the ride 😢.
I'm sorry to hear about the earthquake, it's the same one in January, so it's even more heartbreaking.
Pon-chan-san, I look forward to working with you again this year.
I am planning to take the Yakumo one more time on my way home, but it will probably be the last Japan National Railways limited express in my life!
The earthquake is really heartbreaking. And on New Year's Day, in the middle of a family gathering...
Hello Nobu Nobu 😃
Very late but Happy New Year 🎍.
So you are going to Yonago this time by the super painted Yakumo ⁉️
I envy you for going so many places...
I wish you all the best this year 🤲.
Purchased at a store that sells local products of Okayama.
I thought I was reading "kyokusei", but I was wrong 💦.
A little peculiar reading😅.
The rice is akebono.
The top aroma is slightly fruity. A little sweet and refreshing.
I thought it would be more of a classic sake, but it is easy to drink.
Well, is it a fruity sake that is closer to the classic style?
This was the first sake I drank after entering Okayama.
It was Kikkosei Kakashi Hijiri, which was advertised in a shopping arcade with a big sign.
There seems to be a high-class line, but I had the standard Honjozo sake that is normally distributed at the hotel bar counter.
I drank it cold, but I prefer it hot.
