Purchased with Sairai and Higashi Kaisen
This is the first time for me to taste a draft sake of Yuzumi.
It has a fresh taste, but it tastes a little light for a nama sake. It is a nama-shu, but it would be better to warm it up.
The acidity is impressive anyway, but I personally think it's not as good as I'd like it cold 🤔.
But on the second day, it started to have a caramel-like sweetness that I thought was pretty good.
Aroma and taste like this is what sake is supposed to be like
I guess it's dry.
With ayu fish called Urukka (salted sweetfish)
I think Uruka could have been served with sweet sake.
Today is the last day of the year 2025. Today is also the last day for drinking.
Gyokusendo Shuzo's main brand, Liyuisen, is located in Yoro-machi.
Last week, when I toured sake breweries in Ogaki City, I went to Yoro Town and visited Gyokusendo Brewery.
However, since Liyuisen and Mukaze are sold by a special distributor, I bought them at a local liquor store. The one I bought was Lanjatai.
By the way, I bought this one from a store in Mugegawa Onsen. It seems that the supplier is a distributor.
The aroma is a feeling close to the nut with a strong grain feeling.
The palate starts with rice flavor and bitterness, and ends with a light sweetness and acidity.
We are grateful to have encountered a good sake.

Easy to drink with a sweeter flavor and low alcohol content.
Low alcohol content. It's a good thing.
Slightly astringent aftertaste.
I tried to match it with sashimi (shrimp and flatfish) by myself, but it was not the right sake.
It might have been a bit light and dry.
