My first sake from Hokkaido.
I was a little afraid to buy it because of the word "massive" on the pop-up label at the liquor store.
After tasting it...
Indeed, it has a strong presence.
It has a strong umami and sweetness, with a bit of acidity and bitterness to finish it off.
But it is easy to drink!
I would rather savor it than just drink it smoothly.
You can drink it slowly 😌.
Yellow Label, a popular dry sake from Hokkaido's Niseko Shuzo, is a seasonal, freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake. The dry finish makes it easy to pair with meals. They hope you enjoy the fresh taste of new sake.
Sake rice is Ginpu, rice polishing ratio 60%, yeast No. 6
Gutsy and dry, the acidity has a big enough impact👍.
The umami flavor follows afterwards. Strong impression of dry and refreshing! But it also has a mild taste ✨.
Served with gari, mini tomatoes. The acidity of the gari goes well with it 🤤.
