Today, on New Year's Eve, I will record the brands I have enjoyed since this summer. It was served with takopa (takopa is a Japanese rice wine) like a summer sake.
Japanese spindle tree (Euonymus sieboldianus)
Mitobe
It would be nice if you could write that it is for heating sake, so it is easy to understand.
We make our sake in Tendo, near Yamagata City.
The water quality in this area is mineral-rich hard water (subsoil water of the Tateya River) with a hardness of about 120 mg/L.
Ultimate, delicious water.
Yamagata Masamune's Akaban Omachi 2024 is amazing.
The moment you take a sip, it is so clear that it gives the illusion that it is water. The moment you take a sip, you may think, "Is this water? Yet, as it fades away, the delicious flavor of the rice rushes in.
This "sharpness like water" and "Omachi's underlying strength" co-star. Hats off to this sharp Japanese sword-like perfection.
Specifications
Brand name: Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Akaban Omachi 2024
Sake Brewer : Mitoobe Sake Brewing Company (Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture)
This is great! : 100% "Akaban Omachi" produced in Akaban City, Okayama Prefecture, which is considered the finest of all Omachi varieties, is used. The "sharp sharpness" that is synonymous with the brewery is due to the use of mineral-rich hard water, and the freshness of the 2024 vintage is in perfect harmony with the complex flavor of Omachi.
Pairing suggestion: Omachi's rich flavor goes well with fatty "teriyaki yellowtail" or "cold shabu pork with sesame sauce. However, if you want to enjoy the "watery" cleanliness of this sake, the best luxury might be simply "Yakitori Salt".
The second drink was your first Yamagata Masamune. It was served by Love Mountain ❤️
The aroma is clean. Slightly chili. Rich sweetness and acidity come first, followed by bitterness. It has a long aftertaste. It is also delicious.
The smell was quite sweet with a hint of alcohol, and the mouthfeel was watery and gradually sweetened, disappearing with a slight bitterness at the end, making it easy to drink.
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.

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🎄!
