Yonemune is made by Aoki Shuzo in Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture.
The 21.9 on the label is the alcohol content 😆.
No yeast added, acidity of 2.9, and a sake degree of +25, which is a doozy 😤.
The owner of a yakitori restaurant I went to later in the day, which mainly serves hot sake, told me that the alcohol content is only possible because of Yonemune's brewer's yeast, not an association yeast.
I had it cold 🍶.
The first aroma has a slight acidity.
In the mouth, you can taste the acidity and sweetness accompanied by umami.
It may be because I usually drink high alcohol content nama sake, but the umami is so thick that you don't feel the 21.5% alcohol content.
I could taste a glimpse of the umami in the cold sake, but I definitely think this sake should be heated up. I made a mistake 😌.
The third and fourth pictures are of Yonemune's brewery, about a 10-minute cab ride from Kintetsu Yatomi Station on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line (or Yatomi Station on the JR Kansai Main Line).
While I was taking pictures, Toji Aoki, who was working on the brewery, happened to come outside and I was able to talk with him, if only to say hello 😊.
