こん助This is a Harukasumi Yamada-Nishiki Orikarumi Nama from the Kuribayashi Shuzo brewery in Misato Town, Senboku County, Akita Prefecture, Japan. The Kuribayashi Shuzo's Haruka is made with Misato Nishiki, spring water from Rokugo, and Kugou & Kameyama yeast. The hiyaroshi Kuri-Label, shipped in September, is a Yamadanishiki Special Junmai with the same specs as this sake.
The lees itself is fine, with a light white color and a subtle milky aroma. While the gentle, soft sweetness and umami spread out, the clear acidity contrasts with a moderate astringency, creating a long, lingering finish. The aroma that passes through the nose is very full. We are looking forward to seeing how this balance of flavors will look like after 3 months.
