The summer sake with a refreshing + sour taste
Different from Yamori and Mimuro Sugi, it has a summery feel.
It is good that it is not watery and has a sake-like taste even though it is refreshing.
This one is much more drinkable, but not as noteworthy.

Junmai-shu is a summer-only sake.
It is made from in-house cultivated sake rice "Dewa Sanzu" and "Yuki-Jinja" and finished with a rice polishing ratio of 60%. The taste is characterized by refreshing acidity and moderate sweetness, with a fruity aroma reminiscent of melon and green apple. The palate is light, yet the umami of the rice is well pronounced, and the crisp aftertaste helps to relieve the summer heat. Enjoy it chilled for an even more refreshing experience.
I have been hooked on Yamagata Masamune since last year. I am aware that the brewery brews sake that has a good balance between classical and modern flavors, and also has a quality and robustness to it when the aroma is gorgeous.
The aroma of the same sake changes depending on how it is pressed, and of the two methods, "tateoshi" (wooden tank or tub pressing) and "yokoshoshi" (automatic pressing machine like a yabuta), the latter is shown here.
Is it a vinegar-iso type with a hint of banana or melon and magic ink? When you drink it, it is like a rumney...well-balanced! You would think that a balanced sake would generally be a dry sake, but it is more of a umami type sake. But it also has a gorgeous flavor with its umami acidity, aroma, and gasiness, and while you might think it has a strong sweetness, everything is in moderation, so it is not excessive. That is why it has a good balance!
It is interesting that the aroma gradually changes to juicy and fruity rather than the impression you get immediately after drinking it.
This is a model of a delicious sake that I feel anyone would like. There is no need to be particular about what you eat, it goes with everything. Sorry for the mess, but even though it was May, I tried it with kimchi nabe, and it went perfectly with it!
Even if you include Jyushiyo, it is my favorite brand of Yamagata sake.
Whew. I finished the assignment for today's submission for the course I'm taking! I'm going to continue until August 😁 but 😆I took a sigh of relief 🍶 and chose this one: 💁♂️
The nose has a hint of pear, a good acidity, and a little bit of alcohol. In the mouth, the fruity sweetness is impressive, with a hint of sourness and bitterness.
Serve with grilled chicken wings. The sweet and umami taste of this sake spreads in the mouth by combining it with the collagen plump and tasty chicken wings, making them juicier and more delicious 😁Great match 😁❤️

Good evening, Komacchan!
I see you are working hard on your course: ⤴️
Thank you for your hard work 🍀
Yamagata Masamune is a brewery I remember from my honeymoon ✨It still looks delicious 😊.
I want to drink it this year 😋.
Today's drink of the day is opened here 💁.
Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Aizan from Yamagata Prefecture.
It has a fruity aroma with a mild acidity, sweetness, and, most notably, a strong bitterness. The bitter taste is not unpleasant at all, but rather a delicious bitterness. The sweetness came again at the end - ☺️
Next time I'll drink it with hiya 😊.
