This sake was drunk during the Chou-you Festival. It has a clear aroma rather than a fruity aroma? It's a good sake with a delicious rice flavor and a refreshing aftertaste.

Fruity aroma, sweet sip, no, this is one of my favorite things to drink. This is my first time drinking this wine, but I feel a connection with it... I'd like to try the other sake from Yoshida Shuzo too!

The balance shines through. The impression is that sweetness, sourness, umami, and bitterness come together just right. It's lightly sipped, and it's good for sipping sake. I could drink this drink on its own for a long time! When it's freshly opened and cold, it has a watery, clear taste. It also has a slight spicy taste. I often think recently that the way you feel it changes depending on the temperature range is one of the interesting and difficult aspects of sake. Compared to the same junmai ginjo sake (Ryosuka), the acidity is more subdued and the taste is more pronounced. On the third day after opening it, I felt the flavors opened up and the gentle sweetness and umami reached its peak! It's very tasty.

In Shimane Prefecture (3) Hamayaki Bar Minato, a tavern in Matsue City We had a drink comparison! There was another Gassan, so I chose this one! I guess it is drier than the Gassan I had before it, but my memory is a little fuzzy. It tastes of koji and then a pungent sensation! There is definitely a difference! A reminder from here.

In Shimane Prefecture ①. Hamayaki Bar Minato, a Japanese-style bar in Matsue City I requested my friend to take me there to drink Shimane Prefecture's local sake! We were told that Shimane is famous for Gassan. It is very easy to drink, sweet and full. It is clear and I would drink this! The next day I bought some for home at an Aeon in Matsue. There were other labels in different colors to choose from, but I went with the pink Gassan!

The name is a direct reference to the bottle that Tomonori Yoshida, the president of the brewery, brewed with all his heart and soul. It is said to be sold only at a limited number of special dealers. The refreshing acidity and umami from Shimane Prefecture's original "Sakonishiki" are in harmony. This luxurious sake is bottled only from the middle portion. The aroma is full-bodied, and the well-balanced sweetness and umami are superb. The aftertaste is also refreshing. This is the first time I have tasted sake from Shimane Prefecture, but it is of a high level. Delicious 😋.

I've been flirting with "Awamori from Okinawa" and "Imojochu from Kyushu" for a while, so it's been a while since I've posted here. I've been flirting with "Okinawan Awamori" and "Kyushu Imojochu" for a while. I like Gassan's innovation 😋 They are a sake brewery that makes traditional sake, so they are also good at brewing new flavors: ❣️ This time, it's low al 11 degrees. It has a delicious combination of rice flavor and fruity taste, which I can safely recommend to sake beginners. It goes well with slightly Western-style Japanese side dishes like "yuzu pepper dressing" and "peanut basted salad ✨ It's the perfect first drink at home 😋.
