Aftertaste: Rice-derived umami and acidity remain in good balance, with a light bitterness on the back end.
Impression] Umami, medium dry.
The aroma is modest, but has a double punch of fruity ginjo aroma and rice aroma. The fruity aroma is present at low temperatures, but as the temperature rises, the aroma changes to a rice aroma.
The mouthfeel is soft, and from the mid-palate, the sweetness of the rice and the acidity are in harmony. The acidity is mainly lactic acid and mild. The brewery's taste and design are well expressed.
Repeat Score] 2.0

First summer sake: ☀️
Yamagata Masamune's first low alcohol 13°✨.
Same taste as our usual 16°.
Lots of rice flavor in the aftertaste 😋.
Great that it's 13% but not light ✨.
It was the first low-alcohol sake for Yamagata Masamune.
I thought it might be... but it was still the limited edition sake ♨️ that I drank at an event in early spring. It was delicious, so I'm glad to see it commercialized.
The aroma was rummy and sour. At this point, I'm sure it's delicious on a hot day👍.
When you sip it, it has a pleasantly chili-swirling, slightly carbonated taste, with a light sweetness and sourness that spreads out in a sizzle. Rice and grapefruit competition🌾🍋.
This is the one I gobble up when it's hot...delicious!
After a few days, I think the chili will lessen and the sweetness and sourness will separate a bit like cotton candy.
The mouthfeel is clear and swishy, but I think I like it better if I drink it sooner!
According to the comment on the back, it was inspired by MUSIC FOR ONSEN written by Shigeru Kishida of Kururi for a ryokan in Ureshino Onsen.
The concept was very good for the event-only sake ♨️, so as a hot spring lover, I'd love to see them release another one that goes well with hot springs in the winter!
Good evening, Kotaro 😃I was really interested in this Yamagata Masamune! It looks delicious and rice and grapefruit is nothing short of fascinating 😍And to top it off, the Mitoobe representative loves Kururi, too high a point 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 🌙
I was curious about the new face of summer sake that came out of nowhere 😆.
I feel close to the Mitoobe representative ✨It was a refreshing sake like the Kururi song 🥰The sake that you get to know the personality of the person is also tasteful 😚👍.
Tochigi Prefectural Association Summer Banquet 🍉⑰.
Clean and refreshing fruitiness! It was a delicious sake that could be drunk neatly 🤤The hanabi pattern is also nice 🤤.
Slightly effervescent, with a slight fruity taste and a nice aftertaste, it is the perfect summer drink!
Very easy to drink, too much? It is a very easy-drinking sake.
