Izumihashi Sake Brewery in Ebina, Kanagawa, Japan, which uses 100% Yamadanishiki and starts with rice cultivation. Summer Yago 13!
It is refreshing and has a soft sweetness that comes afterwards. I want to drink it more and more on hot days....
The label is cute too!
6/10
Izumihashi's summer sake.
Yago because it is summer sake.
13 because Yago molts 13 times.
Then, what is MOMO?
It is said to mean peach color, because the noge of the rice used, Jinriki, is peach-colored. What is noge? The questions are endless.
It is a low-alcohol sake made from the same sake yeast, so it is easy to drink because of its acidity.
It is a light sake, but it also has umami.

Lingering nutty and chocolate-like flavors
Impression: Rich umami type
The aroma is moderate, but nutty and apricot-like. There is also a slightly refreshing aroma.
The taste is gentle, with a good amount of sugar and lactic acidity. The high alcohol content and the koji-like taste of the raw sake make it a little sweeter in total.
Although it was not felt on the attack, the nuttiness derived from the sake's raw yeast gradually emerges as a lingering taste.
