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!
At a dinner with friends. We drank a variety of Niigata sake, but this is the only photo. It is light and easy to drink. The alcohol content is 15 degrees.

Today, we will open a bottle of Yamashiroya's WABI WABI 😀.
All of the Shuwashuwa Nigori that I have been drinking recently were second fermentation in the bottle, but this one is made by adding carbon dioxide gas to the sake made from the original sake brewing process to make it shuwashuwa 🤣.
The sourness from the solid carbonation is similar, but it's more like a dryer sizzling sensation, which was a fun encounter with a lot of variety 😀.
From last week's Sushi Matsuura, I would like to introduce some sake that I have never had before. First, Yamashiroya.
A brand I had never heard of. It is a sake from Nagaoka. As the concept of this sake is to accompany a meal, the sake itself is not so assertive and complements the meal. But it is also delicious on its own. It is my favorite type of sake these days.
I am going to Niigata next month, so I have a lot to look forward to. I'm sure there will be a lot of unknown delicious sake!
Canned peaches, nectar-like aroma, mild.
Soft texture on the palate.
Creamy sweetness, mild flavor.
Sourness alternates with sweetness.
The second half of the bottle is bitter, and it ends quickly.
I paired it with cumin confit gizzards,
It is surprisingly good with a meal as well.
Taste level 3.5/5
