Bought this sake out of curiosity as it was brewed with revived Association No. 3 yeast.
Opened the bottle after 9 months in the fridge
Sense of fresh ripeness
Deep sweetness and umami of ripe fruit
Overall, it has a classic taste.
Mellow body with a hint of bitterness at the end.
The label says it has a muscat aroma, but it has a strong sense of ripeness...
I like ripe, but it's a pity that I can't grasp the characteristics of No.3 yeast...
The sweetness spreads softly and the acidity is tangy on the tongue.
The bitter taste is dry.
The bitter taste is dry and dry.

When I drank it for the first time, the taste was shocking and I don't know how to describe it, or rather, I couldn't explain it well. In a word, I remember it tasted like barley shochu, rich and mixed with sweet, bitter and spicy tastes.
After about 2 days after opening the bottle, the taste changed and became less peculiar.
I am looking forward to the changes in the future.
The lady next to me was drinking and I thought I had never had this Yizushin before, so I chose it!
It tastes like muscat.
It goes well with cheese as it says.
I had a glass of the original assemblage sake recommended by the store owner.
As written in the fourth photo, the base is apparently Nippon Izumi.
The owner said that people have different opinions about whether it is sweet or spicy, but I felt it was sweet. I think it's because they put Kouko in it, so I felt it's gorgeous and the Kouko effect is quite strong 🤔.
Immediately after opening the bottle, it has a rich flavor and moderate sweetness. It has a good sharpness. The sweetness increases as the day goes by. I liked the taste right after opening the bottle.
