Yatagarasu Junmai Taru Taru
Great cedar aroma!
The moment you take a sip, the aroma of cedar spreads quickly and leaves an astringent taste.
The aroma is said to be that of Yoshino cedar.
Today I had it with Tuna Tataki.
It was 180ml, but I wanted to drink more.
April 2019, as the fifth drink of the day at Tora Vigilante in Shibuya.
The brewer is Kitaoka Honten Co. in Yoshino-cho, Nara Prefecture. Yatagarasu is a three-legged crow, the symbol of the Japan Football Association and is also depicted on the uniform of the Japanese national team. According to an Internet search, "The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan) state that "Kamu Yamato Iwarebiko (later Emperor Jinmu) marched through the mountains of Kumano and Yoshino on his way to the east, guided by a yatagarasu sent from heaven," and that it is "a crow of good fortune to lead him to victory. So it is named after Yoshino Town.

<A beautifully dry, acidic and tasty food wine.
It seems to go well at room temperature, so I served it at room temperature first.
The aroma is slightly acidic with a hint of rice flavor. It is quiet, but still classic. It is like a beautiful classic dry wine.
The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, with a classic acidity that is not fruity at all. It is smooth, with a classic acidity that is not fruity at all, and a mild umami. From there, it goes from umami-powan to alu-bitter-powan.
The flavor is not so strong, but it has a nice aftertaste with a hint of umami.
It is an orthodox sake with an acidic and umami aftertaste that is typical of Japanese sake. It is a classic acid-umami alcohol food sake.
To be honest, it is not for beginners who are not used to drinking sake. However, it has a taste that will be popular with the experts.
It is a good dry sake that makes you feel like you are drinking sake.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Kasuga-sama from "Spirited Away. He is the god who came to the oil store with a large group of people wearing paper masks. It was like a Nara classic.
Degree of liking: ★★★
*I will post the full version on my blog, supplemented with character images, etc. If you like, please search for "korune sake" or visit us from the link in the profile section.
The top clear layer is dark and dry with a touch of sweetness. When the lees are mixed in, the depth of the mild flavor increases quickly, but the dry taste finishes with a crisp finish. It goes well with strong flavored dishes. It is delicious.
Very shibboleth label.
But the manager said it's good.
It's really not for the experts (it doesn't stink), it's beautiful and delicious.
It also has an elegant aroma like white grapes.
It has a sharp and disciplined mouthfeel, with a light sweetness and umami taste, and a nice sharpness.
The price is very good and inexpensive.
I am glad I ordered it.
The vegetables in the carrot rappée were delicious.
Rice polishing ratio 60%, alcohol 13%.
Sake meter: -18 Acidity: 1.5
This sake is from Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. The low alcohol content was achieved without adding water, which is a welcome specification for a sake that is not strong while maintaining a rich aroma and delicious taste 🥺.
It is mildly fruity and sweet, so it is like a white wine. I like it very much! The toji's are close in age and I'm happy about that too ✨.
Aroma of cedar
▶︎Scent of cedar Unique aroma Refreshing
▷Cold
First of all, the smell of cedar that opened it is amazing🥰💕.
I took a sip and it had a unique aroma for a moment.
I thought it might not be my favorite type. I thought it would be my least favorite type.
Surprisingly refreshing, slightly sour and easy to drink☺️💜.
The aroma seems to be similar to Tamagawa's sake...?
It was a perfect match with the drunken prawns 🤩.
For food sake❣️
