It smells like sweet cinnamon😊.
It still has a sweet taste on the palate😊.
It is accented with a tingling microcarbonation 🫧.
The sweetness remains well and I enjoy the collaboration with the microcarbonation 🤗
Home drinking, I have to work tomorrow, but I'll have another glass after dinner.
The freshness of new sake.
It has a nice freshness and a bit of bitterness.
The mellow sweetness of the rice spreads and a calm umami flavor spreads. It is very well-balanced and goes well with meals. Recommended as a food sake.

No gassy feeling
Slightly ripe melon-like top note
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, with a slight sweetness and a rather robust umami that spreads out with a light acidity, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste with a lingering rice flavor and a smooth finish.
The overall impression is well-balanced, with neither a strong sweetness nor a strong alcohol taste, making it easy to pair with meals, and of course, it is delicious on its own as well.
It went well with steak, corn soup, and French toast with strawberries and ice cream.
This is Yamori, a local Higashimurayama sake! I used to drink it quite a bit when I was at my parents' house, so I was surprised when I saw it at the top of the Sake-no-wa ranking lol!
I bought it when I went back home at the end of the year. This time I couldn't refrigerate it when I carried it with me, so I bought the hi-iri for the first time.
The aroma is mild compared to the nama-shu.
However, when you drink it, it is quite fruity. It is easy to drink, but the sweetness only lingers in the mouth a little.
It is a local sake, but it has been quite a while since I have had it, and it was delicious. Next time I go back, I'll bring a cooler bag and buy some nama-zake as well.
