Commentary. This sake uses "Dewasanzan" sake rice developed in Yamagata Prefecture, and is a rare junmai sake in the prefecture. Sake made with "Dewa Sanzan" rice is often gorgeous, slightly sweet, and can be drunk chilled and refreshed. It is a sake that should be tried by all those who are looking for a food sake.

Here is the last sake I purchased the other day. It is a high-impact sake called "Kamikigen brewing No. 43 Honshin. As I tried it, it has a melon-like and kiwi-like aroma as described. It also has a sweetness that one can imagine the flesh of a melon, but for me, it also has a strong pungency. I first tried it with stew, but it wasn't good, but when I tried it with something sweet, the melon flavor was added, and it was a successful change.

Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture Sakata Shuzo was founded in 1946 (Showa 21) and is a prestigious brewery created through the merger of five breweries: Otokoyama, Yoro, Fujiya, Senrii, and Tamanokawa. This is a junmai daiginjo from Kamikigen, made at the only remaining brewery in downtown Sakata. The sake rice used, Senbon-Nishiki, was developed in Hiroshima Prefecture and is made from Yamada-Nishiki and Chusei-Shin Senbon. The name alone is full of gorgeous cleanliness and looks delicious😋. It is also a junmai daiginjo-shu produced in a luxurious, nearly unpressurized state dripping from the vat, the machine that squeezes the sake. 100% delicious.... The aroma is fresh and vanilla-like, very smooth and pleasantly easy to drink. The taste is fruity and light, with a firm umami flavor! Good balance turns into a clear taste. The aftertaste is sharp and you can drink as much as you want... delicious!

We went to a neighborhood yakitori restaurant. There was a good selection of sake there, so after much deliberation, I chose this one with a lighter sake content (➕2): ❤️ It was light and went in easily, just like in summer. It also has a slight sourness. It is easy to drink. I was drinking it while wondering if the lightness of the mouthfeel and watery taste was due to the fact that the bottle had been open for a while, or if it was because it originally tasted like this 😁.
