Purchased at the Yamaya Mamigasaki store near the Aeon Yamagata Kita store in the Murayama area (inland) of Yamagata Prefecture. I had seen them when I stopped by the store. It was the first time for me to buy it, but I bought it with all my heart. m(_ _;)mAt first, I drank 3 cups of it at room temperature, though I was intimidated by the box. The dry taste is a mystery word for beginners, but I was truly satisfied with the decision. Next, I heated it up (600W for 1 minute and 20 seconds), and the taste and deliciousness became more "layered" and "deep? Depth? I thought it might be a waste to drink it this way, but it was delicious and I was able to hustle while drinking it at night. It has an intense and pure finish that reminds me of the color of the sky at dawn." ←(quoted from the bottle label). I had an image that dry = scary, but it is very tasty. My physical checkup is the day after tomorrow. Every year I dread the results, but I've gotten used to the word "dry" and I'm starting to get familiar with it. With thoughts of history in mind. 20240219
Junmai, but more refreshing.
It would have been better if it had a little more umami.
It was served heated, so it seemed a little lacking in flavor.
Not too tiring to drink. Good for a mid-meal drink.
I would have preferred a little more umami.
