It is a gift. This sake has a hard, hard drinking image, but it is interesting because it is a Junmai Daiginjo.
The aroma is mild, but as is typical of Junmai Daiginjos, it smells strong.
When you take it into your mouth, you will taste a slight sweetness, followed by spiciness and bitterness. It is an elegant sake with a strong flavor, without the unpleasant sweetness that is so common these days. It can be served with anything, but it might be interesting with Chinese food. French cuisine may be a bit tough.
We received a delicious gift at the end of the year.

Sake degree +9
Acidity 1.2
Amino acidity 0.9
Rice used: Haenuki (Yamagata), Dewanosato (Yamagata)
Polishing ratio (Kake rice, Koji rice) 60/60
Yeast YK-009, NF-KA (Yamagata yeast for ginjo)
YK009 is a new yeast developed by the Yamagata Prefectural Industrial Technology Center. It is a low-acid, highly fermentable yeast for ginjo sake that combines the advantages of both Yamagata KA and Association 1801, which have long been used at Tadenokawa Sake Brewery.
Aiming to create a successor to Sasanishiki, the Yamagata Agricultural Experiment Station Shonai Branch crossed "Akita Komachi" and "Shonai No. 29", and registered it as Haenuki in 1993. As can be seen from the fact that Haenuki from inland Yamagata and Haenuki from Shonai Yamagata have been certified as "Special A" for 14 consecutive years and 12 consecutive years, respectively[2], the taste is not inferior to brand-name rice, Koshihikari from Uonuma, but because it is rarely grown outside Yamagata Prefecture, it is not well known and sold at relatively low prices in spite of its taste.
