It has a mild banana aroma with little gas. Smooth on the palate with a clean rice flavor.
It does not give the impression of Yamahai, but is a modern sake that gives a good impression! The label is very wild, but I was a little hesitant to get my hands on it to see what it was like on the inside, but it was much better than I expected! Sorry, I'm sorry,
The second bottle is Yatagarasu from Yoshino Town, Nara Prefecture.
Yoshino Masamune is a project launched to grow sake rice on idle farmland due to the declining population.
The one we purchased this time was Yatagarasu.
The sake I purchased this time was Yatagarasu, which was light, with a hint of sweetness and a sharpness that was rather dry. It was a very light and refreshing sake with a hint of sweetness and a sharp taste. 🙆♂️
Yatagarasu was recommended to me at a liquor store I stopped by on my way home from a trip!
Recently, I often encounter sake that overturns my image of Yamahai and Namahashi, which I thought I was not good at.
It was an easy-drinking sake with a strong Yamahai-like flavor and aroma.
I went to the brewery to have another go at the Bodaihashi sake I purchased at Shorakuji Temple in January, because the sake smelled like pickles and was far from the taste I tasted at the temple.
The location is Yoshino, famous for cherry blossoms in Nara Prefecture, and the Yoshino River flows next to the temple.
This time, I tasted four kinds of sake recommended by the brewery and bought a bottle of Daihara instead of Bodeshige.
When the bottle was opened, the aroma was not bothersome, even though I could smell pickles in the distance. I like the sweetness like a melon in the mouth and the bitterness that comes in contact with it a little.
Novel Sweetish: 13% alcohol, sweet and easy to drink.
Special Junmai Sake: Good balance of umami and bitterness.
Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki: Beautiful taste and you can feel the flavor of the rice.
I am glad I could visit the brewery this time 😄.
Across the river from the Yatagarasu brewery, we went to the famous Kakinoha Sushi restaurant, Heimune Yoshino, and bought ayu sushi and sansai maki (wild vegetable rolls) to go with it.
Hi Lutertemi,
Yatagarasu, a ramen restaurant I wanted to visit but couldn't when I went to Budokan a few years ago to watch Judo (Abe siblings) 😊.
To my wife, all I can think about is alcohol and ramen 😁.
Big spicy, with a meal 👍.
Hi Lutemi 🐦.
Sometimes there is a sake that smells like pickles, was it too much for you to buy at Shorekiji 💦?
Yoshino😳Thanks for the long drive 😊I'm glad you enjoy the drink 🎶.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄
I learned that Yatagarasu's Bodai yeast tastes better if it is laid down for a long time. The other sake was delicious 😋Yoshino is certainly far away. On the way back we were able to see the stone stage 😊.
It makes me nostalgic for the old days when sake used to have this kind of strong umami flavor. If you are used to today's "huayaka-tanrei," the mellowness of this sake will hit you hard, but after a while, you will find this dry taste delicious.
Bakkutoo Orijin.
