あみーご
Purchased at my favorite liquor store.
They had a shipment of Hakuryu unfiltered unpasteurized sake in stock, so I bought two kinds to compare.
Both are rare, and the production number is handwritten on the lower right corner of the label.
The blue label is Gohyakumangoku with 55% polished rice,
The white label is Yamadanishiki with 70% polished rice
The blue label is slightly more refreshing and easier to drink, but it is hard to say which is which.
I drank them both cold, and while they both have a strong umami of rice, they are not cloying, and you can't stop drinking them.
I could feel the rice rather than the fruity flavor.
This is a brand that ranks high on my personal cold sake list.
The slight carbonation and the slight petitiveness are also refreshing, probably because the yeast is still alive after bottling!
