越の酒好き
This is my fourth drink of the day, but I drank it at room temperature with a solid sake, as I had a small amount earlier.
I thought about heating it up halfway through, but then I realized I was drinking it all up~!
It has a rich, mellow, sweet taste.
Firm texture on the tongue. The color is light yellowish green.
It has a strong fruity aroma, as it is made from gin.
It has a rather firm sweetness, but the sourness comes soon.
There is a sharp acidity in the aftertaste.
Polishing ratio 65%, alcohol 16%.
Yamagata Prefecture, Izuwasan 100%.
It is not a traditional Junmai-shu, but a modern Junmai-shu with a refined flavor and more gorgeousness due to the Gin-brewing process.
Even when drunk at room temperature, it has just the right amount of aroma and umami, with a slight acidity to keep you from getting tired of drinking it.
Yoshikawa-san's water is medium-hard, which gives the sake a robust flavor, but it also makes the most of this flavor to create a very tasty, umakuchi type sake.
The background of the label depicts the brewery's hometown, Mt. Daisen, which has long been revered as a sacred mountain, especially during the Edo period (1603-1868) when it was worshipped as the god of water, and people made pilgrimages to Mt.
The mountain was also known locally as "Mount Afuriyama," which is also used on the label of this sake.
