Insistent aroma reminiscent of malted rice
When you take a sip
When you take a sip, you will taste a strong umami flavor.
Then comes a sweetness like mirin (sweet sake)
gradually fades away.
No fruity taste
This is an unfiltered, unfiltered special junmai sake with 13% alcohol by volume.
Even if you input the number (alcohol content) first, it is hard to believe that it is 13 degrees.
If you drank it without the information that it was low alcohol, you would never think so 😊.
The aroma is a mixture of floral green melon and Omachi-like strength.
The umami spreads across the palate in a flash.
The bitter, astringent and dry finish.
It seems that this is the last Yumachi,
This is Yamama-san here tonight.
We had gotten it out of the prefecture during the prohibition period 😄.
The aroma is fruity.
The aroma is fruity, but there is almost no sweetness. The main taste is umami, with just enough acidity and bitterness to not interfere with the main taste, and then the spiciness of the kara-kara finishes it off 🍶.
The gap between the aroma and taste is quite interesting 😊.
I served it with some bonito sakataki I had bought in Kyushu 😙.
This sake is read as "YANMA" in the mountains. The label is on the back, so you can't read it at all. There is no tag on the label, but the sake is packed directly in the bottle.
It has a fresh and crisp aroma, a juicy sweet and sour taste that is not too strong, and a certain umami flavor. The flavor is easy to pair with food, and when it returns to room temperature, the sweetness comes out, which is also nice.
