Sake rice: 100% Momota
Rice polishing ratio: 45
Alcohol content: 16%.
The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is mellow and umami, but it is crisp and clean.
It is very satisfying to drink on its own or with a meal as it has a powerful umami flavor.
Today I paired it with grilled fish and it was very delicious.
Rice polishing ratio: 55

I bought this because the store I stopped by on my trip was a Yamato Shizuku distributor.
When I opened it, it blew out like a carbonated juice and overflowed.
When I drank it, it was very full and the flavor spread out.
The carbonation combined with the juice made it go down as easily as a juice.
It is very easy to drink and highly recommended.
Today was the day of the Senkaku Stag Beetle ban 😊.
I thought I was leaving Tochigi today.
This morning around 9am, the liquor store I usually go to posted an article about the new arrivals and I noticed it around 3pm and the article said it was sold out 😭.
I checked with another liquor store and they said they had 2 bottles left, so I dashed to the store, but they said they were sold out by the narrowest of margins😭.
I'm totally in the mood for sparkling, so I'm opening a bottle of Yamato of Youth that I've had laying around at home 🎉.
I drank Yamato Shizuku at an izakaya before.
I remember it being very good, so I bought it thinking it would be absolutely delicious,
As expected, it is delicious ❗️
From the fruity and milky aroma to the mouthfeel, it has a nice mouthfeel, but it's still very strong. The bitterness is working in a good way, and if you guzzled it down, it would definitely knock you out.
But you can't stop 😅.
It's a dangerous sake, but one I want to repeat again next year.
And I learned today that it is important to move in a timely manner since stag beetles arrive in the store on the day the ban is lifted...
Good evening, Mr. Rururun 😃.
I've heard that the local liquor store in Tochigi sold out on the first day of its release! I'm glad you had a good experience 🤗 and I'm glad you enjoyed the Yamato Shizuku 💧.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Yamato Shizuku 💧!
Dear Jay & Nobby, Good evening😊.
Competition is fierce in Tochigi too 😭
I learned a lot 💦.
Yamato Shizuku, on the second day, the difference between the milky taste and the bitter taste was even more pronounced and more mature 😊.
Akita Seishu's "Yamato Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo Mimosa Yellow
The soft and warm yellow label is like a visualization of the arrival of spring. It is a new Junmai Daiginjo-shu brewed with "Momota" rice grown in the company's own rice paddies, brewed with 560 kg of white rice in a small brewing process, and brewed with an Akita-style "Nama-moto" sake mother. Based on long-term low-temperature fermentation, the sake was delicately brewed to be finished at less than 16% in its original state.
It has a fresh fruity aroma and a harmony of refreshing acidity and sweetness derived from the Akita-style nama-motobo, and its aroma and taste remind us of the arrival of spring. The process from top-bottling to bottling was swift, and it contains a trace amount of carbon dioxide gas derived from fermentation. A gem of a well-honed new sake flavor.
This is a junmai daiginjo spring-only sake brewed by Akita Seishu in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, at the Dewazuru brewery. It is made entirely from contract-grown "Momota" sake rice, with a rice polishing ratio of 45%, and has an alcohol content of 15.9°, a sake alcohol content of ±0, an acidity of 1.8, and an amino acid content of 0.8. It is brewed with in-house cultivated AK-1 yeast and bottled immediately after top-fermentation and bottle heating, which allows the sake to retain a slight carbonation and a fresh gaseous sensation.
I'm still in my youth!
I tried to be strong, but I think I was blown away by the sparkling energy.
It has been a long time since I had such a bittersweet experience.
