I was about to call it a night since I had enjoyed the Denshikiku and Hanayo, but I had ordered Yamagata Dashi Somen, so let's have another bowl of it!
In the cold storage in the back, I found an unfamiliar brand.
It was my first time after all!
Here's another sip of the plastic-wrapped bottle!
I'm not a big fan of Yamahai, but it's a relatively light and refreshing sake!
I wondered what Yamagata dashi somen was, so I asked for it!
There was mozuku seaweed in the broth!
It was another night when I felt it was nice to drink my favorite, unlike the usual all-you-can-drink 🌉.
the most important thing to keep in mind when planning your next meal!

Masurao Junmai Ginjo Akiagari
Sake that is uniquely Japanese
From the umami that is typical of Aki-agari
After the acidity is felt, the bitterness lingers on the tongue.
Goes well with chicken liver sashimi.
It's a sake for sake drinkers!
I told them I wanted a sake with a lot of umami and acidity, and bought it on the recommendation of a liquor store I was familiar with.
Indeed, it has a strong umami of rice and enough acidity from the Yamahai process.
The final sharpness was satisfying.
I enjoyed the changes from cold sake to room temperature by warming it by hand.
Too bad it ran out before I could warm it up.
I might buy it again in the winter.

The Shimanto River natural eel was grilled white 😋.
Then came this one, where the master brewer has a master-disciple relationship.
We started with a summer sake called "Mashirao".
It's still hot and humid, so it's good for my mood.
The best match! The crispy skin goes well with the tender meat of the grilled white fish.
It's hard to find a good sake to go with good snacks 😅.
A robust type of sake! This is a limited edition autumn sake from Masuarao. It has a calm aroma of Yamahai at the beginning of ripening, and a powerful acidity and umami spread on the palate. You can feel the charm of Yamahai as you drink more and more of this sake.
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, rice polishing ratio 65%, yeast is cultured in the brewery.
We had it well chilled ✨✨.
The aroma, acidity, and bitterness that is typical of Yamahai are the first things that hit you with a thump! There is also a slight numbing sensation on the tongue. This is a good sake with strong acidity and rice flavor 😆.
Wooooooo 🤣🤣
I like Yamahai more and more every time I drink it. It is a sake that I want to spend long autumn nights with👍.
I paired it with pickled yam with wasabi!
