It is clear with yellowish tints and has aromas of yogurt, pear, cooked rice, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with a firm acidity, a mild sweetness and a rather long finish.
The taste is dry and sharp. The flavor is somewhere between modern and classic. I haven't tried much Yamahai, but I would like to try it again if I have the chance. It looked like a strong sake, but it was surprisingly easy to drink lol.
A fusion of tradition and the next generation.
The label is austere.
This is the type of sake that can be served either hiya or heated. It can be a versatile all-around dining sake, or sipped with something dry after a meal.
Today it is Tengu Mai. The label, which is not often seen, caught my eye, and the reasonable price attracted me, so I brought it home without a second thought.
It even goes to the trouble of writing the date of bottling and the date of release from the warehouse.
When poured into a glass, it has a color reminiscent of the usual "Umami Plenty".
It has a mild taste in the mouth. The acidity is low and the sweetness of the "saxo" type spreads in the mouth and passes through the nose. A slight bitterness remains on the tongue, but this also goes well with tuna and yellowtail sashimi. The balance of flavors and tastes is well balanced by the sake's alcohol content, making it a dining sake that you will never get tired of drinking. This is good.
