Freshly Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama
Fresh but full-bodied.
It has a richness like chestnuts. It also has an unexpectedly high acidity.
It is a good friend for cooking.
I love it 100 points.

A slightly fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it tastes sour at first. Slightly sweet. Slightly sweet. Delicious.
Gassan is brewed with super soft water, and the lack of gas certainly gives it a soft aftertaste. The softness is directly connected to the ease of drinking, making it a very easy to drink sake despite its 16% alcohol content. What a guy!
Purchased at a sake brewery in Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture. Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture.
You can get brewing water from a faucet on the premises. It is indeed very soft water.
The brewery has a 300-year history, and its trademark was registered before that of Gassan in Tohoku.
This sake is only available at the brewery and some special stores.
Izumo?
Matsue Izumo Trip
The fifth and final drink at Nekko-ya 😁.
I wanted to visit Gassan Tomita Castle before Matsue Castle, but it was a mountain castle and it would have taken about 2 hours to get there.
We went to Yoshida Sake Brewery in Gassan nearby and asked about the sake we were going to buy as a souvenir 😁.
We decided to have Junmai Ginjo here, it was a little bit sweet but it was easy to drink without any lingering aftertaste 😅I prefer something a little spicier 😅.
The izakaya also told us that Gassan is a slightly sweet sake 😁.
Sake made with Shunyo rice brewed by Yoshida Shuzo in Gassan
Mild aroma
Gentle on the palate
Very soft acidity and umami.
Lychee, but it is full of fruity flavor.
It is so easy to drink that it is hard to believe it is sake!
A very delicious drink!
