Ripe and fresh
I can't stop drooling even before drinking it.
It still has a slight bubbly taste even though it has been sleeping for 3 years.
It has a soft sweetness with a sake degree of -6, and an acidity that seems to have been toned down after aging.
It has a sweet and sour sake quality, but it is full-bodied and has a solid 17% alcohol content, so it is not light, which I don't like, and I enjoyed drinking it👍👍
A few days after opening the bottle, the slight bubbles disappear completely and it becomes sweeter and more rounded, but personally, I liked the exquisite fresh ripeness right after opening the bottle 😄.
I was really lucky to come across it 😙 as I was told that the shipment was limited to 500 bottles.
Kizan Ura-Kizan Super Dry Junmai-Ginjo
Rating 4.4
Ura-Kiyama is the extraordinarily dry version of Kiyama.
While Kiyama is fruity and sweet, Ura-Kiyama is super dry. The solid flavor of Yamae-Nishiki and the ultra-harsh structure make for a clear, clean drinking experience.
It has a clear and clean mouthfeel. A little fruitiness and light umami. It has a sharp, super-dry finish.
Today I went to a corner sake shop in Harukas to compare local sake from three prefectures in the Chubu region.
The first one was Urakuyama.
It was delicious, fruity but crisp, clean and dry. 🙆♂️

Fresh and refreshing ginjo aroma
Silky with a light nigori taste
Deep sweetness with just the right amount of gas and a sharp acidity that finishes off the finish.
Sharp acidity spreads and finishes off the aftertaste.
