Masaaki Sapporo
8.5 points (Wife: 8.5 points) Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15
Purchased from Yamasho Sake Shop (Sapporo, Japan)
When opened
Almost no gas
Slightly banana with a slight overtone of rice malt
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, full rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a thin acidity, and it finishes with a little bitterness and alcohol spiciness.
It is well-balanced with a strong sense of rice flavor and goes well with meals, and is of course delicious on its own as well.
It goes well with leek soba noodles, Kamakoe's kamaboko, and Ueda-ya's beef stew.
