Purchased at the Izumo-taisha station store when visiting Izumo-taisha shrine.
It has a refreshing sweetness with a hint of sake yeast. The aroma of the sake's yeast holds down the aroma of alcohol nicely. Good, good, good. It is a great food sake.
The label was removed well. It is cute, so I will use it as a bookmark for my business notebook.
Rice used: Gohyakumangoku (produced in Shimane Prefecture)
Rice polishing ratio: 70
Alcohol percentage: 18
Sake Degree: -2
Acidity: Not disclosed
This sake has a slightly sweet flavor. It is unpasteurized sake as it is pressed, and can be enjoyed either chilled or at room temperature. The koji is carefully made using the lid koji method, and the pressing is also done with a lot of time and effort using the kuro-hozuri method, making this a product that conveys the brewer's heart and soul.
It is popular among women for its gorgeous, strawberry-like aroma and soft taste that retains the flavor of rice. It goes well with fruits after a meal.
The second drink of the day is a sake from Shimane
Light and dry
Rather light and watery on the tongue
Slightly fruity aroma
Light sweetness with a hint of sourness and astringency.
The aftertaste is alcoholic.
Alcohol 18%, Rice polishing ratio 60%, Sake meter rating +2.0
No.9 yeast
100% En-no-Mai developed in Shimane, Japan
It has a rather clean and sweet taste, but the alcohol content is strong since it is 18% pure sake.
En-no-Mai is a new sake rice with Yamadanishiki as its mother rice, and is said to be suitable for daiginjos, etc., but we thought it was delicious.

After dinner at my daughter's house, I went out for a drink with my second son.
A restaurant that serves a lot of Shimane's local sake.
This restaurant is quite crowded 😳.
First up
Yamasan Masamune Inixin
First time to drink this sake,
Is it crisp and dry? I guess.
and I can also feel the rice flavor.
The third picture is not taken at an izakaya, but at my daughter's house.
Highly aromatic and fruity
Watery mouthfeel and acidic flavor on the nose
Watery on the palate, but with a firm body.
Very easy to drink and delicious!
I heard that the rice polishing ratio is 90%, and wondered if it might have a strong acidic taste. When I drank it, I thought it might have a strong bitter taste, but no, it was mellow with a delicious taste of rice. I was surprised that it could taste like this!

Saijo Sake Festival. Sake Hiroba.
Shimane is proud of its Masamune🍶.
The color is quite amber. Almost brown🤎.
On the palate, it has a sweetness and a skittish, hackneyed flavor 😙.
Aged taste with a bit of alcohol and a thick flavor 😊.
This heavy flavor is majestic.
I was selfishly impressed that it might be the quintessential Masamune 🥹.
Nice Masamune👍quintessential Masamune👍
