I went on a one-day trip to Yamagata the other day😄and bought a bottle. Yamagata has a lot of good sake, but this was my first time to taste it! The aroma is gentle apple 🍎 The sweetness is moderate, but as you drink it, the umami is also very strong! The sharpness is good, and it is a beautiful sake. It is not too light, but has a good balance of umami and flavor. Delicious!
55%, 16 degrees, slightly pineapple-like? Aroma? It has a rich aroma, a full-bodied flavor (rice-like), and a clean, sharp taste, just as it should be!
Fairly firm sweetness and bitter bitterness. It feels a bit thickened.
The label says it's a deliciously spicy food sake, but I see, that's how it's described.
A gift
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma with a slight sweetness.
The spiciness comes later and has a nice sharpness.
The taste, which is not like a daiginjo, is also good.
35% polished
Clean and refreshing aftertaste when drunk cold.
Freshly opened and at room temperature, it felt sharp.
Realized the importance of temperature control.
The bubbles and mouthfeel are similar to champagne, and the bubbles do not disappear forever.
The ingredient is "Tsuyahime.
It goes well with and complements a variety of dishes.
I want to drink it in a stylish wine glass.
Such a sake!
(However, we do not have such a glass at home.)

Brewed with Aizan, this is our companion for this evening. When the bottle is opened, it has a robust floral ginjo aroma. When you put it in your mouth, a nice sweetness spreads on your palate. It is delicious. The acidity of the tataki cucumber and chicken with ume plum paste combined with the rice intensifies the flavor of the rice. The sweetness of the dish complemented the acidity of the sake well, making it a perfect match for the stewed leeks with egg and the main dish of codfish. It was a wonderful dinner♪
