It is a manly sake like Yamahai.
But it has a mellowness that makes it easy to drink.
It might be good for a first time Yamahai brewer.
It is a sake with a strong taste rather than flavor or aroma, and if you keep drinking it, you will get more and more addicted to it.
Really good sake!

It is a first time to drink this sake.
It is a well-balanced sake with a fresh mouthfeel and a powerful flavor that can only be achieved with nama sake.
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.
