It is Raku no se Yamahai Junmai.
It is a pure Yamahai Junmai sake made with Yumematsuri rice in a four-stage hot-kake brewing process.
Yumematsuri is a new variety of rice in Aichi prefecture in 2011.
We tasted it cold at first and asked for it to be heated.
First, the cold sake.
The appearance was a pale yellow gold.
The aroma is mellow and refreshing.
It has aromas of cheese, fermented butter, and banana, which is typical of Yamahai.
Along with rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake, it also has light matured aroma of Choko, soy sauce, and caramel.
The texture is smooth.
The deep sweetness is followed by a pronounced acidity that seems to be pulled out by the aroma!
The acidity cuts right through and sharply finishes!
The finish is sharp and long.
This is delicious in its own way.
From the second cup, I had it warmed up 🍶.
The aroma of warmed rice is softly fragrant, with a hint of light aged aromas of calm caramel, chocho, and burdock root.
Soft mouthfeel.
The smooth acidity is smooth with a light stimulation, and it finishes with a sense of umami that gives a sense of fullness.
The lingering aftertaste is long and gradual.
It warms up wonderfully!
This was a delicious heated sake even for a cold sake drinker 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin🍶.
I heard that they have reduced the amount of the fourth stage for Yumematsuri this year to reduce the sweetness.
They have a great selection of both cold and heated sake, so if you have a chance, please let me know 😊.
