This is the Komaizumi Junmai Ginjo Yamahai. It was recommended to me when I came here, so I drank it. The acidity isn't too harsh for a Sanpai, but I think this one should be heated up.
This is a sake made with "Hana-Moji," a type of rice suitable for sake brewing in Aomori Prefecture. This is the first time we've seen this brewery.
The aroma is quite fruity, the taste is not too sweet in the mouth, but it is rich and mellow.

Aomori's famous sake tour is at home
Reimei and Mutsuhomare (apparently) are the raw material for the rice.
'Oh! I was expecting to see a piece of Aomori's work⁉️, but that was not the direction we were going.
The sweetness is slight, slightly dry, nicely balanced with a nice, clean swallow.
It's just a great drink.
It's light, but it's also rich, so it's not lacking in flavor. It goes well with any entrée.
It is different from the work in Tokai, but the work in Tohoku is not to be underestimated.
Komaizumi Amabier tovo ver Special Junmai
14-15% 60%, 720ml, about 1,500 yen
Komaizumi from Aomori also participated in the Amabie, which has been in the spotlight due to the recent corona.
They are using some Kumamoto yeast from Kumamoto Prefecture, where Amabie has been seen. I checked the rice and found it to be Hanabuki.
You can buy it at AEON Liquor in Gotanda, Tokyo.
Smelling the aroma, it's a little not good.
First sip, it comes in thin and light. Halfway through, the rice flavor mutates into a rustic quirk.
The taste is the same as that of another brand of Komaizumi "Sakuta" sold at Bic Camera before. In a way, the "sticky" taste may be a reflection of the yokai-like nature of the rice. I reported on Komaizumi's hiyaoroshi last year, so I looked back at it and found it had a high score. Surprisingly, it uses the same frosting as Amabie's. But it has no peculiarity. Yet it had no peculiarities. I wonder if the Komaizumi has a peculiar flavor that comes out after being heated twice.
I recommend opening it up at room temperature or lukewarm.
