Drinking after drinking to some extent.
Maybe I'll add it later?
The aroma is fruity? Aroma, a little strong?
The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt a strong taste, alcohol? I felt a strong taste, alcohol?
In terms of five tastes, it tastes a little sour? I feel a little sourness.
It may have a strong umami taste, but I don't think it is a type of sweetness.
The sake feels fizzy, but not as fizzy as it looks.
You may feel a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.
Alcohol level 14
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Color: clear and colorless
Preference ★☆☆☆☆
Mitsuo Yamakawa's 2025 Natsu, with its champagne-shaped bottle, is suitable for celebrations. The acidity is strong and the rather sweet taste is kept in good balance.
Mitsuo Yamakawa Aki 2025
Colorless and transparent
The aroma is very mild and the raw material aroma is hardly assertive.
The structure of the aroma has a mild base with a floral element that was popular a while ago.
Dry from the attack.
The bitterness is thin and develops widely.
There is a glimpse of sweet fruitiness like white peaches in the nose.
Autumn from the Mitsuo Yamakawa series
For a sake called "Autumn", the floral ginjo-shu elements are quite prominent, and it is surprisingly friendly.
Nevertheless, the overall flavor of this sake is calm and relaxed, and it may be a perfect match for a long autumn evening, but not too tiring to drink.
At 📍 Akabane Fish Ichi
Too easy to drink, so it's water now 🍶.
The packet is cute and I like the fact that it says 2025 on it. I'll be back to this place!
3.9 ★★★☆☆☆
This year is the 10th anniversary. I don't drink it every year, but it's been a while since I had it, and this time it was different from what I thought it would be because of the acidity and amino acids!
I don't dislike it, but the lingering alcohol taste is not as elegant as I'd like.
But I liked the packaging and the unusual taste! ❤

This sake was brewed with No. 10 yeast in honor of its 10th anniversary. It has a modern finish with a sour taste. It would be better if the alcohol taste at the end is mellow.
Yamakawa Mitsuo, formed by four breweries in Yamagata Prefecture, is finally celebrating its 10th anniversary. To commemorate this anniversary this year, each brewery is brewing a celebratory sake in turn. This time, Kojima Sohonten brewed this sake using Association No. 10 yeast to commemorate its 10th anniversary. It is a food sake with a mild ginjo aroma like muscat, and is a perfect accompaniment to autumnal delicacies.
