This is an anniversary limited edition spring sake from Mitsuo Yamakawa.
The brewer is Mitobe Shuzo of Yamagata Masamune.
The illustrated label featuring Mitsuo Yamagata dancing the Hanagata Ondo dance on top of a portable shrine is eye-catching.
The rice used is domestic rice.
Polishing ratio is 60
As a commemorative anniversary sake, it is brewed with sake instead of brewing water.
The alcohol content is 16%.
Opening note: Despite the ⚠️, you don't feel any gas pressure at all😅.
When poured into a cup, the sake is golden in color and thick.
The aroma upon opening the bottle is mildly fragrant, with a muscat-like pear aroma.
When you take a sip, it has a round mouthfeel.
It has a firm, rich umami flavor, with a hint of bitterness.
This bitterness accentuates the sweetness derived from the rice. The acidity is also present, making the sake crisp and not too sweet.
Personally, I think it is a sake that should be drunk slowly because it is rich, not too sweet, and has a hint of alcohol.
This is one that is more enjoyable when served hiya than when served chilled, as the sweetness is more pronounced.
Today I received vegetables from Kochi from my hometown tax payment. I am thankful because the vegetables were too expensive to buy 🍅🥒.
The aroma is vanilla sweetness and also white grape feeling. On the palate, there is a fresh acidity that pops and a slight bitterness that squeezes like a white grape sensation. I have seen it before, but this is the first time I have had it. I've paired it with bok choy with soy sauce and ginger, cucumber with miso mayo, and asparagus with mentsuyu salted kelp and it's delicious. ☺️✨
There was an earthquake in Nagano and I was worried about my parents' house, but it seems they are ok. You never know what can happen 💦.
I bought a packet 😎😎🤩.
It was dry, refreshing and my favorite 🤩🤩🤩🤩.
I saw it at the liquor store today.
They are celebrating their 10th anniversary✨!
I didn't realize they were selling ㊗️ sake!
The nose has a fruity aroma with a slight alcohol aroma. It is slightly sweet, acidic and bitter, slightly effervescent with a hint of a tangy dryness. A slight alcohol taste escapes through the nose, but it is also pleasant. This man with some charm is only 10 years old with 🕯️10 candles 😳 He looks like an uncle but... He must be some kind of fairy🧚🤔🤔If he shows up again, get him 😉 Crispy chicken, macaroni salad, cheese🧀◎This is a good glass of wine😋.
Good morning Waccho 😃.
Mitsuo looks like he drank out once 🧐 but I don't remember the taste 😅 Oh! He's 10 years old so I guess he's like Mitsuo 😄 I'll make a note of this review since he's my favorite type 🤗.
