A friend of mine in Yamagata sent me some dada-cha-mame and sake from Tsuruoka. Every year I feel the season of Dadacha-mame🫛.
I'll take it right away😊.
The aroma of pineapple🍍, then strawberry🍓 and apple🍎, then sweet fruits go through your nose when you drink it as it says on the label. ☺️
The light acidity is also addictive, yum 😋.
Other than alcohol, the photos are of Tomica 🚗 from Chiikawa and ANA's Flying Honu: ✈️
Rice：Yamagata Yuki-No-Megami
Rice polishing ratio: 50% Sake degree: - Acidity: - Amino acidity: - Alcoholic strength: 15
Purchased in May at Kunii Sake Shop in Yamagata City.
It is supposed to be a summer sake like my favorite Goyuji.
I usually don't drink much junmai sake, so I had a hard time deciding which to buy, the junmai sake or the junmai sake Goyuji.
When the stopper is removed, a nice popping sound is heard, foreshadowing a gaseous sensation.
When poured into a glass, it is slightly effervescent.
The aroma is mild. It has an apple-like aroma.
When drunk, it has a refreshing apple-like sweetness, a hint of acidity, and the umami of rice.
It finishes with an elegant bitterness.
When you taste it carefully, you can also taste the gorgeous flavor of vinegared etchings, which is typical of high-grade wines.
Yes, it is the best.
I finished the four-pack in two and a half hours.
It just goes down so smoothly. This is mellow and dry.
I'm a great person!
Fresh, fine bubbles and a clean, crisp acidity
Refreshing and easy to drink
Natural flavor due to the unfiltered, unpasteurized process
Fruity aroma reminiscent of apples and pineapples
This is one of the most valuable bottles we received.
It is a junmai daiginjo-unfiltered, raw sake brewed with 50% polished "Yuki-No-Majin" grapes.
I looked it up, and I did.
Aerial" is a technical term for surfing, and refers to the dynamic technique of flying into the air using the momentum of the waves.
Isn't that the best birthday present ever? 😊
Right after opening the bottle, it is soft gassy, light on the palate, fresh and lush.
I deliberately got a different glass, and I think a glass with a smaller mouth is better suited for the aroma to come together.
I wonder if the top aroma is more white grape or lychee than apple-based. On the palate, it is clean and gassy, with a refreshing acidity that keeps the juicy sweetness from spreading too far. The aftertaste is also clean and accented by a gentle bitterness.
As the label suggests, this was an easy summer drinker.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I think of aerial, I think of candy aerials rather than surfing or aerial-type tricks or performances. I decided to drink a brand that I don't usually drink, and while I had several options, I ended up buying the label.
I bought it at the liquor store Yamada.
This series was compared to Dive to Future well.
It had the same schwashy feeling but was dry and went down my throat quickly and was really good with a nice aftertaste. ☺️
My personal preference is for Dive to Future, but I will drink both again next year 🤤.

Summer Travel in Northeast Japan (5)
This summer, Niigata Airport→Sendai Airport✈️
This summer, we will travel to the southeastern part of Japan, connecting Niigata Airport to Sendai Airport.
The fifth bottle is Aerial by Wagayuji.
This sake is made entirely from Yamagata Prefecture's "Snow Goddess" sake rice.
The taste is just like the image on the label.
Fresh, refreshing, and delicious.
Perfect sake for summer 🏝️🏄
It was easy to drink Swiss 😊.
Yamagata sightseeing is a pinpoint Hanagasa Festival sightseeing 🌺👘.
Miraculously, the rain had stopped and we were enjoying the glossy Hanagasa Odori parade,
I found a store among the food stalls that had a nice lineup of sake 💡.
I couldn't help but stop to take a look.
"I'll give you an extra fillet of rayon, let's drink it!"
It tastes just like it says on the label!"
You can decide after tasting it."
If you invite me so enthusiastically, I'll drink it 🤔.
I was pierced by the cold stare of my companion, a minor.
We are enjoying the night of Hanagasa Matsuri with Yamagata sake 😋.
Peco, I'm enjoying watching your summer trip 😊.
I see you went to Yamagata too! I'm sure you'll have plenty of delicious sake to go around 😁.
Hanagasa Odori is gorgeous... 🏵️ I remember dancing it in elementary school... I want to see the real thing... ‼️
Good evening, Pon-chan. I also strangely remember dancing hanagasa in elementary school. It was fun to see the different groups of people doing their own unique dances 😊Manami Hashimoto was the guest that day and I loved the way she brushed her hair up 😍.
Easy to drink neat. It's not micro-fizzy, but it feels close to it in the mouth.
I would like to buy it on the Internet.
At the Tsuruoka tasting counter.
A clear, dry special junmai with just the right amount of acidity. The hint of fragrance has a muscat-like aroma with a subtle fruity note. The aroma is mild, and it is the type that accompanies meals.
