I had the impression that Yamagata Masamune's light nigori was delicious when I drank it a year ago, so I bought it.
I had an image that it was sweet, but this one has a bitter taste and is suitable for a mealtime drink.
I was impressed by the sweetness of this sake.
Next up: wooden vat freshly pushed 😋.
Let's start right away. The aroma is sweeter than Yokoyama Yoko-oshi, with a pear-like ginjo aroma.
The sweetness is stronger and there is a slight bitterness at the end. The bitterness is stronger than that of Yokoyama Yokoshi.
Both have a koji flavor, but this one tastes more like a cocktail.
It is hard to say which is better.

Good morning, Komacchan 😃
The sake rice and milling are the same and this is...is this a comparison of different squeezing directions of tateyoko ⁉️
That's great that you can tell the difference 😋.
Jay & Nobby You're right 👍This is a comparison of freshly squeezed and squeezed differently.
The flavors were quite different, but both were delicious and easy to drink 😊.
Today we compare Yokoyama Yokooshi and Kibatan Tateoshi 😊.
Let's start with Yokoyama Yokoshi. Let's start with the Yokoyama Yokoshi. The aroma is lactic acid with a moderate sweetness.
When you take it into your mouth, the sweetness comes first, and while it is full-bodied, it quickly disappears in the smooth mouthfeel. It reminds me of the softness of melting snow ☃️. In short, it is delicious.

Aftertaste: Slightly sweet and lingering alcohol
Impression: Not too sweet and refreshingly fruity
It has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, and is fruity but not overly sweet.
It also has the umami of rice. The aftertaste is clean and medium dry.
At the New Year's party. We were served a new sake of Yamagata Masamune. This one is Yokoyama Yokooshi. Unlike the Kibatamatate Oshi, this one has less sweetness and more sharpness. The freshness of the new sake is more apparent in this one, and there is a bit more effervescence. It may be more suited for summer, but depending on the dish, this one is definitely better.
This one was also delicious. It is the same Dewa Sanzan, but the difference in taste between Yoko and Tate is astonishing.
At the New Year's party. We were served a new sake of Yamagata Masamune. This one is freshly brewed in a wooden vat. The aroma was stronger and the sweetness was sweeter than Yokoyama. It also has some acidity and other tastes, but overall it is more supple, and I think this one is generally easier to drink. I was satisfied with the rice used for the brew, Dewa Sanbai, which has not been used for a long time. It was delicious.
This is Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjyo Usunigori Dewa Sanzu.
It is a delicious sake with a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity.
I look forward to this sake every year. This year, too, I enjoyed it.
We purchased it from Sake Ogawa.

Comparison of Yabuta and Tub
It has a strong banana taste.
The aroma of the Yabuta spread more quickly in the mouth than the Yabuta.
Both are delicious, but I prefer the tuber.
The Yabuta had a little bit of a strange taste (cloth smell?) (cloth smell?) was felt.
