Tasake Junmai Ginjo Yamahai.
This is the first time in three years that Tasake has revived the Tasake Junmai Ginjo Yamahai, brewed with 50% polished rice from Aomori Prefecture's Hanafukiyuki rice and brewed in Yamahai style!
The nose has a slight lactic acidity, and in the mouth it has a fruity sweetness that is gentle, but in a good way, not unlike Yamahai. It has a deep umami flavor and a firm bitterness that finishes with a crisp finish.
As the deep green label suggests, this is a robust bottle that is perfect for long autumn nights.
My only regret is that I drank it cold, thinking it would be better heated up.
