There is no description, but it has a light nigori taste. It has a slightly richer flavor than the Dewa Sanzan that I drank recently. The rice seems to be well melted. As expected from Omachi, there is nothing to say 🤣.

The fifth sake was Yamagata Masamune Junmai Gin The fifth cup was Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginzoku Gekidaku. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, and It is a limited-edition shipment of a well-balanced blend of Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, and Dewa-Tsanbai junmai ginjo. It is a blend of Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, and Dewa Tsannin Junmai Ginjo in good balance. It is very thick, but has a nice sharpness. It is a dry sake that is thick, but has a nice sharpness and is very refreshing to drink. It is a dry sake that can be drunk very refreshingly. Fried raw wood ear, fried raw wood ear, and assorted tempura (so good that we ordered it again). and assorted tempura (which was very good, so I ordered it again). The sake was very good.

There's a tint to it. Ooze is floating firmly. Soft and gentle fruity aroma There is a tangy and wrinkled feeling. The gentle aroma of rice and koji mold that fills the nose Gentle aroma of rice and koji mold that fills the nose with a slightly fruity flavor. Sweet and slightly bitter aftertaste. Alcohol leaves the nose and leaves a soft and fluffy aftertaste.

Yamagata Masamune that I had purchased for Christmas🎄. Santa🎅's elephant🐘. Clear, slightly effervescent, modest aroma. Slightly fizzy and slightly carbonated in the mouth. The refreshing taste is typical of Yamagata Masamune. There is also a hint of sweetness. Overall, it is a modest sake that does not interfere with meals. My wife, who doesn't like sake, was able to drink it, so I'm glad we can drink it together: ☺️ Merry Christmas🎄!

It was slightly spicier than modern with a tangy, fine gasiness and was refreshing and full-bodied.

Hi Hirupeko, merry Christmas ✨ Inazo-kun's expressionless face dressed as Santa is indescribably cute 🤭Modern dry sake with a touch of bitterness 😆 It's a light sweet sake with a refreshing aftertaste 😆.

After Yokoyama Yokooshi, now Kiban Tateoshi 😁. 　Let's start with the standing aroma. Sweet and refreshing pear and yogurt. In the mouth, there is a strong sweet pear-like flavor with a touch of bitterness at the end. The taste is more distinct and mellow than the YOKO-OSHI. 　Serve with grilled meat. The beef juices and the sweetness of this sake are neutralized and the aftertaste is sharp with a delicious flavor. It is a better food sake than expected 🙆It is a good match. Rice used: 100% Izuwasanzu from Yamagata Prefecture. Polishing ratio] 50%. Alcohol content】15度 Snacks] Yakiniku Price including tax】2,420 yen

This Christmas sake is one of my favorite bottles I've had in recent memory! Full of flavor but not to the point of overpowering, just the right amount of goodness! It was such a joy to pair with a BBQ in the yard over the weekend!

This one on the left is Yamagata Masamune's Omachi. Sake with "Masamune" in the name seems to have a high probability of being tasty. I think it has a gorgeous aroma and is easy to drink.

This one on the right in the photo is Inazo by Yamagata Masamune, one of a two-bottle set we got with our Furusato tax payment. This one was a more relaxed and flavorful food sake compared to the other one.
