Ginrei-Gassan Hidden Sake
15% 70% 720ml
There is not much information about this "hidden sake" on the website or on the Internet. I remember that I bought it at a supermarket called Big Yosan in Tsunashima, Kanagawa Prefecture. The price is unknown.
Sake that claims to be a "hidden sake" is not very good at all. But if you say "Oh, hidden sake," people in their 60s or older will say, "Oh, hidden sake? I guess it's a strategy to get people in their 60s to say, "Well, you'd better buy it soon, kaasan. I think that's the strategy.
No, but this sake has a fruity taste and a light flavor. Yet it has a slightly heavy body.
The aftertaste is slightly caramelized. It also has a spiciness and sharpness. Yamagata yeast is used.
It may be one of the better hidden sake often seen.

My first impression when I drank it was "a cup that goes well with the scenery of snowfall. And the rice used was "Yuki-no-Mikami". How nice. It was given to me by a person who lives in Yamagata, and it was a very local choice. It is so smooth and easy to drink that it could be mistaken for a draft sake. It is delicious.
A gift of alcohol
