Since I drank it at the restaurant, I was disappointed that the bottle had been open for so long that it didn't have a shwashy feel to it.
I asked for the recommended sake and ordered it, so there was a slight sense of distrust toward the restaurant. It was my first time in the restaurant, so I guess it can't be helped.

My first Yamama.
I bought it because it was a draft sake, and when I got home I checked the label and found it was labeled "Ura-yanma".
It was a little sweet as described, but it was easy to drink with a robust flavor that didn't linger too long.
Next time, I would definitely try it from the front...
Tangy and fizzy on the tip of the tongue. It has sweetness and acidity, but it feels more like a classic sake than a modern sake.
I have the impression that it can be drunk as a mealtime sake or on its own.
It is not as sweet and comes straight in. It doesn't have as much flavor intensity as the regular Yamama line. On the contrary, I thought it was just right!
