A very unusual colored sake for New Year's celebrations. A bottle brewed with red rice. It leaves such a beautiful color!
When you open the bottle, the aroma is not like sake. It smells like sweet and savory sweets. In the mouth, the strong sweetness is well balanced by the acidity and bitterness. It is delicious!
The sweetness and saltiness of osechi (New Year's dishes) are not overpowered by the strong sweetness and saltiness. At first glance, it does not look strong, but it seems to have unyielding faith in itself.
When combined with the ponzu vinegar in the pot, it turns into a refreshing sweet water. That's good, too. After two sips, it returns to its original flavor, so it seems that he still has strong convictions.
I met a wonderful sake at the beginning of the New Year!
Yamadanishiki, Junmai Daiginjo, produced from underground water that takes advantage of the climate of Kishu and the cold temperatures of the basin, is not merely fruity, but retains the same mellowness as Junmai, and has a depth that passes through your nose when you drink it.
The price of 1,500 yen is a bargain at a time when sake rice prices are skyrocketing, and one can't help but be grateful to the brewery for its spirit.
Sake from Kainan City, Wakayama Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 50% koji rice, 55% kakemai rice

🍶It is fragrant and modern. The label says it is soft on the palate and has a ginjo aroma when it enters the mouth, which is true.

It is gorgeous and fruity.
The label is also pink and cute. It is popular among women, which is understandable.
It is also cosmetically pleasing, and I would like to buy a bottle of it!
I happened to find it at a hotel in Katsuura and tried it. Hmmm, delicious.... It was fragrant, but the alcohol was not too strong, and I enjoyed it to the end. No wonder it is famous...
