The liquor store that carries it was sold out, so I wanted to go to the brewery directly, but the weather was bad, so I bought it by mail order from the brewery.
It is spicier than the Yamadanishiki Shizuku I drank before, but it is refreshing. There are some common nuances. It's not sweet, but it has a unique taste and is not too spicy.
But I like Yamadanishiki Shizuku Unfiltered Jizake (what is unfiltered Jizake?) more because of its unusual tea-like taste.
It is reasonably priced for a sake made with 50% polished rice from Yamada-Nishiki in the Special A district.
It says it's unfiltered local sake, but the feeling I got from drinking it made me think it was raw sake. The shop's popup says unfiltered raw sake, but I'm not sure. The shop's label says it's Junmai Ginjo. The rice polishing ratio of 50% is the Daiginjo standard. It has a semedyne taste, but the sweetness and acidity are good, so it doesn't bother me. It also feels a little like tea. It's unique and delicious.
