Muscat-like aroma that goes straight to the nose with a fairly long and gorgeous flavor.
It has a smooth aftertaste with a stretchy sweetness.
Nice to meet you 🍶.
It is a refreshing and light sake with a strong rice flavor and low alcohol content that makes you want to drink it chilled.
Tempura as a side dish
The aroma is classic and mild. The mouthfeel is tangy and acidic, with a refreshing sweetness and a bit of rice flavor. It is just the way I like it. It is even better when drunk in a wine glass.
I drank Yamagata Masamune for the first time in about 10 years this year, and that was Mitsuo Yamakawa the other day. And is it Imadeya's PB at Izakaya? I drank "1898" and confirmed it was my favorite sake. I was going to buy it the next time I saw any of them at the liquor store, but they seem to sell out quickly, so I asked them to reserve it for me and somehow bought it.
Basically, it is a dry mellow sake with a strong flavor. It has a slight rummy taste that gives it a summery flavor.
It is a full-bodied sake, so I would like to taste it with a meal, but I think it did not go well with yakisoba noodles on the first day.
But when I paired it with fried food, it tasted great! It is really interesting how the taste of sake changes with food!
On the second day, it became so mild that it could be drunk on its own, and was full of Yamagata Masamune's typical flavor. I was not expecting to succeed in my yakisoba revenge! It's amazing that it can turn into a sake that goes well with anything in just one day! The impression remains the same on days 2 to 5, and instead of deteriorating, it tastes better than the first day! This is a brewery I want to follow in the future. I am impressed!
