Yamahai Junmai
Snow Kayasha has a strong impression of nigori (bitterness), and I thought it would be sweeter.
This one is clear, yet full of umami. The acidity and spiciness give you the satisfaction of drinking sake. I think it has the best balance without being too rich.
Yamahai Junmai Hiyoroshi
Fresh aroma on the nose
Slightly tangy and acidic (actually not at all sour)
The combination of umami and acidity makes it drinkable but easy to drink.
Serve with mozzarella cheese wrappers.
It is easy to drink because you can feel a lot of umami and a little bit of fruity flavor.
What do you have in the food medium -?
And bought it on your recommendation!
All hiyaoroshi go well with meals, but my preference is from this area 🤔.
On the first day, the initial impression is much fresher for a hiyaoroshi 😳.
The lingering aftertaste is mild and moderate👍
The third day, it started to taste a little bit more drawn out, but it was one of those hiyaoroshi that changed my impression of hiyaoroshi again 🤭.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol 16

Bitterness remains.

Strong aroma after sipping
Mother's favorite alcoholic beverage.
Mild, mellow, and easy to drink with no corners.
It has a clean aftertaste.
The aroma and sweetness are not strong, but you can taste the umami and it is easy to drink.
Good evening, Shou-san!
Your mother's favorite Bishu design - delicious, isn't it 😋.
It was my first time to drink Kayasha, and it is truly a beautiful sake 🤗.
It's been a long time since I've had a Snow Kayasha~.
Last year's sake tasted like white wine, but this is Akita's sake! It tastes like Akita sake!
When drunk on its own, the alcohol is too strong and it's not easy to drink, but as a mid-meal drink, it complements the food ✨.
Goes great with grilled chicken with miso, shrimp tempura, fried saury 😭.
I bet this is a versatile one that goes well with sashimi and sushi as well!
