Yamashiroya Seiran
Rated 4.3
Rice: Gohyakumangoku, Rice polishing ratio: 70%, Yeast: Niigata yeast G74, Alcohol percentage: 15.0% (unblended), Sake meter: +9, Acidity: 1.9
Amino acidity: 1.3
While maintaining a clear sake quality and a neat balance that looks great in food, the choice to use 70% polishing brings a fullness of rice and a natural umami flavor. This is supported by a gentle yet powerful acidity. The sake level and acidity are high and well balanced, but not harsh. Lemon-lime taste, suitable for summer. As time goes by, the body increases and it can also have an orange flavor.
Yamashiroya and the Yamaoka Family🍶.
Outside drinking review,
I drank 3 kinds and ended up posting 2😅.
My first Yamashiroya was nigori sake!
It was freshly sipped and still alive and well👍!
Rice juice with a lot of flavor ✨.
Yamaoka family also full of flavor 🍜.
Back to the special miso 😋.
Long time no post!
Sweet or spicy? I prefer the dry one.
But I felt a strong umami flavor and drank it all up.
I drank it all up,
Sake from Niigata is delicious!
Sparkling.
The aroma is fresh.
Clear acidity jumps in.
It is neither sweet nor spicy.
But you can feel a bit of spiciness and wonder if it is a bit sweet 😊.
The astringent taste oozes out slightly at the back of the tongue.
It's crispy.
There is a slight taste of rice on the tongue: ☺️
Seiran ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio: undisclosed ALC 15
The aroma is subtle, and when you take a sip, you will feel a light stimulation on your tongue, followed by sourness and bitterness.
It is a slightly dry sake with a sharp taste. It is the perfect sake to go with mayonnaise-flavored snacks like tonight's drink.

Yamashiroya's new goal was to return to its roots. Not too light, not too heavy. We sought to create a sake that is "just right" in terms of drinking comfort. While retaining the clear sake quality and gentle umami of the standard class, the original fullness and structure of the rice has been brought out in a more natural way. In the mouth, the gentle umami is accompanied by the refreshing acidity typical of summer sake, leading to a cool and crisp finish.
3.5/5
I drank this after a hard day's work. Refreshing sake that just keeps going and going!
I'm looking forward to enjoying another taste of sake even after the fizz is gone!
