I'd like to drink wine, but sake will do 🍶.
The unique acidity from the wine yeast and the sharpness of Yamamoto's sake give it a clean aftertaste.
It would go well with shime saba (mackerel).
Akita Sake Comparison Party
Bring your own sake #4 - Yamamoto Tensugi
Sake made in a wooden vat made from natural Akita cedar trees over 200 years old (the only one in Japan, apparently).
To be honest, I couldn't detect the aroma or flavor of the cedar itself, but the flavor was rich and multilayered 😋, probably due to the Yamahai brewing method.
It was the most popular among my friends 🥇.
It was fun to compare and play "Yuyama Umihara" 😊.
Naturally, there were so many different ways to feel and taste the sake, and I was reminded once again of the breadth and depth of the sake experience ✨.
This sake is made using "wine yeast" and "6-row yeast" for Chardonnay.
I bought it with high expectations, but personally, it was a bit of a disappointment because it had a lot of miscellaneous flavors and no umami.
Akita Sake 🍶.
Fresh, fruity and juicy!
And a refreshing aftertaste 😋.
I've been drinking a lot of sweet sake lately, so the crisp flavor is a nice accent 🤤.
Rice:Akita Sake Komachi
Polishing ratio: 50-55
Yeast used: Akita yeast No.12
Sake meter degree: +2.0
Acidity: 1.8
Alcohol percentage: 16
It has a nice aroma and it disappears quickly and without any dullness 👍Tasty though the flavor is thin.
It is better to drink it chilled, but it is also good at room temperature.
All of Yamamoto Sake Brewery's sake is delicious.
