I bought it because the production date was a year ago and it was priced at 1,000 yen.
It is said to be a sake made for meat dishes like steak, but first I tried it by itself.
There was no cloying taste, and the taste was pure and not particularly pretentious.
The sweetness tends to be hidden, and perhaps because of the high alcohol content, it tastes a bit muddy afterwards.
If you drink it slowly, you can taste the umami of the rice, and it is quite a good sake.
However, it is a bit strong on its own, so it is best to drink it with the sweetness of fat from grilled meat.
A lot of umami and funk at first, but gets smoother as you go. Strong - half a bottle with my husband definitely had us feeling tipsy. Great with food or alone after a long day. Smokey and sweet.
I was attracted to the other Yamahai and tried this one as well, but it was a little different from my taste.
However, I could not match it with the meat dishes that the brewer recommends, so I would like to try it with steak or other dishes if I have the chance again.
Sake meter / +3.5
Acidity / 2
It is a dry sake, but it is not rough and easy to drink.
It has a unique flavor because it is Yamahai, and the aftertaste is slightly acidic.
It is good with strong flavored food.
The alcohol content was 18%, which made it a very rich sake.
I saw something that said it goes well with meat dishes, and it certainly is a sake that goes well with strong-flavored dishes.
It was an interesting sake.
It has a unique flavor with a hint of sourness and a dry, firm throat. It has a high alcohol content of 18.5 degrees and seems to have been made as a sake that goes well with meat dishes, a flavor I have never tasted before.
Almost colorless and transparent. Sweet aroma reminiscent of custard cream. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is mild. Nutty aroma. The mouthfeel is rich with a firm acidity and astringency. Slightly long aftertaste. A mellow sake.
On the 6th day after opening the bottle, it was warmed. It was so aromatic with a sweet aroma. It was a perfect sake for heating up. Perfect marriage with beef congee 👍.
