This is also the same Yahiko Hon Nama Sake (Ginjo) that we had last time!
Additional sashimi and trout roe!
a few words of knowledge
Yahiko Sake Brewery, in cooperation with an agricultural cooperative, grew Aikoku rice seeds, a rare sake rice that had been stored at a research center in Niigata Prefecture. The seeds were planted in the rice paddies of the local Yahiko area, and Aikuni, which was considered ancient rice, was brought back to life in the modern age. Yahiko Sake Brewery uses this rice grown with reduced pesticides and even less chemical fertilizers. Yeast is also an essential ingredient in sake brewing. Yahiko Sake Brewery uses natural yeast found in the petals and bark of the Yahiko cherry tree, which is the only one that grows wild on the top of Mt. It is almost impossible to find a yeast that is both natural and suitable for sake. The gods of Yahiko may have descended upon this brewery.
Good balance of sweetness and pungency.
No aroma, but a sweet mouthfeel that is not unpleasant
Cosy and a good sake for evening drinks - cold or warmed.

Scallop tempura, hot on the outside, raw on the inside.
So good!
This sake was served before the final dish of kakiage-don!
I checked if it was the first time for me to drink this sake and found that I had already had another Yahiko sake at a sake party (in Daimon) last year!
This one was aldolated, but it was raw sake!
I drank it all while eating rice!
It was easy to drink 🍶.
I'll be back again, Master!
My juniors were also satisfied!

The long-awaited "Yahiko" brand
I was surprised to learn that there is a store in my hometown that carries this brand.
I heard that the brewery has been reorganized and the taste has become even better.
But still, this is out of the ordinary!
Overall, the flavor is calm.
It has a fruity flavor with a clean and crisp finish.
The umami can be felt with a touch of savoriness, which is a balance I like!
It is high level. ‼️
Seemingly brewed with God's water
Sake from Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture
It seems to be divine water, like a sacred sake.
It's crisp and refreshing.
