Gassan Junmai Hiyadoroshi
Rated 4.4
Alcohol: 16%, Rice: Gohyakumangoku, Polishing ratio: 70%.
Brewed with "Gohyakumangoku", a rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Shimane Prefecture, this junmai is full of rice flavor and is aged slowly in a low-temperature cellar over the course of a summer. This hiyaoroshi has just the right amount of umami and a soft and gentle flavor, made with the ultra-soft water unique to Gassan. The acidity is refreshingly light.
Three types of comparison, this time (premium) No. 1. I took the plunge and added the Daiginjo series. I started with the middle one, but it was full of premium from the very beginning. This Gassan is in Shimane, so it must be from that Gassan Tomita Castle. I'm glad I went up there today.

It's good because it doesn't have the rice flavor I don't like. The first taste is refreshing and the aftertaste is bright and sweet.
I liked it, so I drank another cup... As usual, it's not that flavor ;;;

It has a strong rice sweetness like amazake with an astringent aftertaste.
It has a slightly tangy and carbonated taste on the tongue.
Slightly persimmon-like flavor.
Strong alcohol taste, and it seems to be a good way to get drunk.
