Purchased at Otsuka Sake Shop in Takasaki in August 2024.
A Maebashi sake brewery (I also drank Shinmasa Ash and Shinomine at that time), which I had enjoyed the night before at a fashionable izakaya in Takasaki.
The first sip has a gorgeous, sweet aroma typical of Yamadanishiki.
When poured into a glass, the cucumbers are swimming around like a planetarium.
In the mouth, it is sweet, fruity, and easy to drink. In addition, it has a sourness and juiciness as if it were a grapefruit, with a subtle bitterness that lingers in the mouth.
It also has a gaseous taste, so the style has a refreshing aftertaste.
On the other hand, the unique umami of arabashiri can also be felt well, making this sake an excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, drinkability, and umami.
Yuto's standard sake seems to be Gohyakumangoku, and I really wanted to drink that one, but... Even if the rice is changed, the production is still excellent.
Yuijin seems to be a brand known only to those in the know, so if you are interested, be sure to check it out.

Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku🌾.
Sourness coming from the front and a little alcohol.
No sweetness 😐.
When paired with tofu, it complements the tofu 🙄.
Sour and sweet with ginger and soy sauce 😳.
It was an interesting sake 🍶 to try many things as a food sake 🤗.
4.4/5.0
The second grab bag from Jizake Watanabe.
We received Yuto from Yanagisawa Shuzo in Gunma.
It has a koji aroma and weak carbonation, and has a good refreshing feel. If it is a food sake, it would be good with a crispy tsumami.
I bought it because it seemed to be a kind of sake that is not often seen but is known by those in the know. I bought it because it seemed to be a kind of Japanese sake.
The aroma is mellow peach and pineapple. The nose is mellow peach and pineapple, with a slightly bitter acidity at the back.
The umami, sourness, and sweetness spread out, but then the bitterness is stronger and more crisp!
The alcohol taste on the nose may be a bit too strong for your liking, but I like it!
The strong bitter dry aftertaste is impressive. I will try other specs when I see them.
I mean, this is Junmai, right?
Hats off to the sharpness, as if it were alsochrome!
My 7th drink of the day 👀.
Sake I've really wanted to drink for a long time 🍶.
