Spring Strawberries
Fresh sweet and sour taste from a mellow mouthfeel. Hints of strawberry-like aroma rises and finishes with a lingering sense of roundness and gentle sweetness.
This sake has a fresh and gorgeous spring-like flavor. It is so easy to drink that you will not feel the 20% alcohol content.

An empty bottle that I drank. It was pure white nigori sake. I was worried about how much it would blow out when I saw the words "Dangerous raw sake," but I was able to open it slowly without any spillage.
It was a refreshing and light sake, but at 21% alcohol by volume, it was thick and full of umami. I wondered if I should have heated it up, but I drank it.
Warmed sake, warmed hot, temperature drops a little and it is ready to drink. Sweet and tasty, with a warming sensation and a lingering taste in the mouth. It was 7 years old, the 30th year of the Heisei era. It was waiting in the refrigerator of a sake bar.
According to the liquor store, it is a little less dry than other Yonemune products.
50°C on the first day. Almost no aroma. With an orangey aroma that is almost like a freshly ripe wine, the slightly fruity flavor of the rice slowly trickles in and slowly recedes.
Not much change even at room temperature. It has a flavor that is very ripe.
On the fifth day at 40°C (104°F), the wine turns dry. At 45℃, the dryness remains, but there is a chocolate-like sweetness. 60℃, it becomes very dry.
It is very different depending on the temperature, but I lost all my impressions on the 5th day when I was about to write the last one, so I'm just being random😅.
This is 1 year old, and with a low dryness, I feel that it is quite a mature and spicy brand. Note that the alcohol content is high. Next time, should I try a similar spec or the spicier one?
