Today's sake is from Takaten❗️ in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, and its jungin❗️ is also an unfiltered raw sake❗️❗️
The aroma is fresh and sweet with a hint of ginjo❗️ and the sip has a dense texture followed by a spicy raw tingling sensation❗️ and the ginjo aroma escapes through the nose❗️❗️ and is great as a food sake❤️

Impression: Superior Yamada-Nishiki
The aroma is subdued, but the flavor is so strong that the moment it enters the mouth, you think it is shaved Yamada. The alcohol is strong and punchy, but it is also very crisp.
It has a contradictory balance of boldness and delicacy. It goes great with sushi.
Sadly, there is no ocean in Nagano.
Repeat Score 2.0
It seems like every day this week I am greeting the New Year. Tonight we went to Kibana. When I asked for a good sake to warm up, the proprietress served me a dry sake from her hometown. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a delicious umami flavor. It starts the engine.
