Souvenirs purchased at Yamagata Station.
Chilled well, but quite a rice aroma.
Aromatic and dry. Sweet acidity in the aftertaste.
Slightly quirky, but a good junmai sake with a rich flavor.
It is a gift.
Every year around this time, my front door beeps with the arrival of this sake.
It has a calm ginjo aroma without being flashy. Naturally, there are no peculiarities, and the five tastes are well balanced.
The sweetness is slightly strong, but it is balanced by the bitterness and slight spiciness from the middle part of the bottle. And yet, it is not watery. The arugula is also doing its job well, and it finishes refreshingly.
It does not have many characteristics, but it is a luxurious food sake.
Rice (Yamagata Prefecture), Rice Koji (Yamagata Prefecture), Polishing ratio 50%, 100% "Yuki-Megami" rice from Yamagata Prefecture, Sake degree +1.5, Alcohol between 15 and 16 degrees, Acidity 1.1
Lovely ginjo aroma, with a slight sourness at room temperature.
One that I bought at Sakata station on a nostalgic Cassiopeia trip when I was short on time.
A sparkling sake, probably the best type I've ever had in a wine glass.
I regret that I drank it straight from the bottle at that time.
It was fruity with a strong acidity!
Moderately sweet and easy to drink. It is not light, but has a robust flavor. The accompaniments were grilled mackerel, sashimi of kibinago (a small herring roe), and sashimi of Hirame (flatfish) wrapped in grated yam and konbu, which went perfectly with the sake.
Purchased at Yamagata Antenna Shop in Ginza.
The label is nice.
The ginjo aroma is modest.
It is a light, light, sweet sake, as is typical of Yuki-Megami.
It is also suitable for summer sake. It is easy to drink.
