April 12 Petit Kumamoto Off-line meeting
The third glass: Kaze ga Kowaku Yamahai Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu
First time to drink this brand 🔰.
Soft sweetness and acidity typical of Yamahai, and then it cuts through quickly.
The aftertaste is dry.
It goes well with a meal 🥰.
Rice / Gohyakumangoku (organically grown rice)
Polishing ratio / 50%.
Sake meter / +3
Acidity / 1.5
This is one of the bottles we were allowed to sample at a sake shop we stopped by during our trip to Fukushima.
As it was introduced as an apple/pineapple type sake, it has a refreshing acidity, a firm sweetness, and a nice crispness from the umami.
And the crispness from the umami!
I was impressed that the owner of the store added that the sake was like Kanna Hashimoto's sake!
I also bought a bottle of sake compared to Ayase Haruka, so I am looking forward to drinking that one too!
I had this sake in Kagurazaka, which is rapidly gaining popularity these days.
I have a vague recollection of it, but I think it was fizzy and had a strong umami taste.
