Extreme personal preference ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5/5 (day 2)
Probably my first time with Masuo, and definitely my first time drinking at home 🙏.
It's a bit refreshing and sharp, but not too much! But it's a little refreshing and sharp 👍But the impression is rich and mellow 🍶.
The second day, the acidity is lessened, and the flavor is more integrated 😊The sweetness of the rice comes out and it is heavy and juicy, and the melon type sweet and bitter taste is delicious.
Even on the second day, there is a certain sharpness 👏.
Lingering sweet and sour 👌 for a long time.
On the third day, the acidity fades considerably and becomes too sweet, as well as having a strong miscellaneous taste.
However, when warmed up to human body temperature, it is sweet but soft and delicious 😊.
Ishikawa sake is also delicious heated 💪.

Masuo, whom I met at a restaurant about six months ago and was impressed.
It's a bit too much Yamahai aging, but depending on how you pair it with your meal, it can really enhance your meal.
When served with crab claws, it gives a miso-like depth to the dish, making it almost like a crab miso.
I think it would go great with shellfish marinated in old sake.
I wonder which one I drank at that time...

Mashirao Yamahai Junmai
Sweet acidity and umami. I was told that it is good warmed up, so I had it warmed up and it warmed up beautifully, the sweetness spreading and the umami expanding beautifully ❗I don't often drink it warmed up, but it was excellent 😋😋.
It's a very good sake.
It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and richness. It's amazing that it doesn't cost 1,200 yen...it's delicious 😋.
Yamahai Junmai Kyokyu Matured Genshu
The balance of acidity and lactic acid is excellent. I went home and found out that it was brewed by Naohiko Noguchi, one of the Noto Touji Four Heavenly Kings, in his final year and was aged for 5 years before being released. I'm glad I had a chance to try it.
Everything was so good that I got a picture of the toji and the brewer 📸.
Masurao Yamahai Junmai Autumn Agari
A sake for autumn with umami.
Is it extravagant to want this much umami even in the midst of a meal?
Is it a luxury?
The "Vicious Man"...
What a strong name...
When I drank it, I was punched very hard.
He hit me with a goo.
It is a Yamahai, and although I don't find it hard to drink, 18% alcohol is very strong.
Ingredients: Gohyakumangoku
Alcohol content: 18%.
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Sake degree: +5
Acidity: 2.5
A powerful 18° alcohol.
The aroma is mellow and sweet, like cooked rice.
The alcohol is sharp and sharp when you drink it from the first sip.
The astringency gives it depth.
The light acidity flows through the mouth, and the mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth for the alcohol content... The smell of alcohol leaves at the end, so it is still strong.
Later, you realize that the umami supports it.
The lotus root and konnyaku in a mild broth go very well together.
Fried mushrooms and bacon are also good, and the autumnal flavors are in good harmony.
