Serve it warmed ^ ^.
Compared to room temperature, the warmed sake is soft, sweet, and wonderfully full-bodied ^ ^.
The aroma of maturity and the multi-layered interweaving of sweet, spicy, and acidic flavors are absolutely superb!
At 1,700 yen, it's not cheap, but if you want to savor it carefully, I recommend ☺️

It has a good aroma of ginjo when you start drinking it, but it is not too sweet and can be drunk neatly.
It has a nice mouthfeel when you drink it, so you will never get tired of it.
Taste changes between lukewarm and cold sake.
Lukewarm heating gives the sake a matured, mellow flavor.
Melon-like flavor.
Strong aroma of rice
Note: Kimotozukuri has more acidity, while Yamahai has a more mature taste.
All Gunma Izumi. This is a raw sake.
It has a sweet melon-like aroma. The light sweetness and full-bodied acidity spread out and lead to a lingering umami.
It gives the impression of being a food sake that can be served with anything.
It's been quite a while since I've had "Gunma Izumi".
I had been saving it as a souvenir sake from Manza, but I realized that half a year had passed, so I'll have some 👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could smell the aroma of rice and straw. The mouthfeel is beautiful, as is typical of Gunma sake, but soon after, the unique flavor of old sake and a pungent, chili pepper taste come in.
The acidity is typical of Yamahai sake, and while it is beautiful, it is also delicious with a strong punch!
It goes well with the savory flavor of bonito tataki.
It has some quirks, but it is relatively easy to drink among the same type of sake.
Even though it's been a while, the stability is the same 😋.
I was drinking Shinkame Junmai sake and wanted to drink a sake with more body.
I wanted to drink a sake with more body,
Gunma Izumi Yamahai!
The pleasant aroma of lactic acidity is perfect for the second half of the evening.
