It has a modern F.F.J. (fresh, fruity, juicy) all over it, and according to Mr. Yamamoto, it has an image of "sharp sharpness like a Japanese sword". Slightly sweet fruit aroma, juicy acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits.

Happo-cho, Yamamoto-gun.
The aroma is restrained and the mouthfeel is clean with a hint of ginjo on the nose. It has a good acidity and is well-balanced as a sake, and is easy to drink with no aftertaste.
Happy New Year! I hope to drink a lot this year.
On New Year's Day, I invited my relatives to my home for a celebration. Junmai Daiginjo was the guest's request. We bought a commemorative bottle to celebrate the 100th anniversary at Sugahisa Shoten.
It was delicious. Although it was a Junmai Daiginjo, it was a very satisfying bottle with a great sense of sake.

Aftertaste
Short, lingering aftertaste cut off quickly by alcohol and bitterness
Impression] Modern, light and dry.
The aroma is subdued but refreshing. It is so light and refreshing that each element is suppressed to the extent that it has a low alcohol content of 14 degrees and a sake alcohol content of +15. It has a clear impression when drunk cold, and does not have any cloying taste for the degree of rice polishing.
It is the type of sake that shows its true potential when served with a meal.
The higher the temperature, the clearer the umami becomes.

Pure Black was so good that I tried another brand. It had a slightly gaseous taste with a moderate ginjo aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it had a soft acidity and sweetness that was well-balanced and gentle without being outstanding.
Unfortunately, I caught a cold afterwards and the carbonation went away for a while, but the good balance was not lost and I was able to finish it with great taste.
The first shot in 2026 is
Yamamoto's yellow.
It is very fast in the mouth.

Opens with a slight "pssh".
The aroma is so-so.
The spiciness appears from the light sweetness.
Fruity but dry impression.
Family members who drank it with me said it was too sweet.
For those who usually prefer very spicy, it was too sweet.

Very dry with a sake degree of +15, which is quite rare.
Slight sweetness on the palate.
But as soon as you swallow it
the spiciness rushes in all at once.
The unexpected two-step attack is surprising.
The perfect balance of subtle sweetness and sourness
A feeling of "choi gaseous", basically dry
Interesting composition@!
