When I was told that my favorite Sanjoraku had a direct Yamahai Junmai kumi (pure rice), I grabbed the bottle and asked for it.
It has a banana-like aroma, then rice🌾 flavor, sweetness, and finally acidity, a triple whammy of flavors. Oh how I love this 😍 It's seasonal, so maybe next year we'll see it again.
This sake that we drank tonight is not peculiar, but it is a delicious sake with the characteristics of sake.
I don't think it's right to drink this kind of sake with juice, so I'm not going to try it this time.
However, if I have a chance, I will try to drink it with juice again!
The entrée is a wash of the kochi we caught.
Sadness of Shirouto, what a pity it didn't turn out well chirpy!

Only one tank of "Toyama no hoshizora" is brewed, and a small amount of it is bottled as "Toyama no yukizora (nigorizake)".
It has a beautiful milky white appearance.
It has a yogurt-like acidity and a slightly thick texture on the tongue, and may seem dry immediately after being taken out of the refrigerator. The crisp acidity spreads and increases the appetite.
However, this sake's deliciousness begins after the third day!
The freshness remains the same, but the umami comes out.
If you do not like acidity, raise the temperature and serve it at room temperature.
If you don't like acidity, you can raise the temperature and enjoy it at room temperature, where the sweetness will support and balance it out.
