Yamama Junmai Ginjo Brewing No. 12 is a direct-fermented, unfiltered sake. When opened in an ice-temperature cellar, it has a gentle, capsule-like ginjo aroma. It has a light viscosity on the tongue with a soft umami taste. The slightly light sweetness is immediately followed by a light acidity that is slightly stimulating and leaves a bitter aftertaste. Overall, the mild aroma and slightly light but firm core flavor make it easy to drink. The acidity and bitterness increase a little as it goes from human body temperature to lukewarm, and the astringency is good, although there is some masking as it goes from hot sake to lukewarm. When it is cooled down to about 46 to 40 degrees Celsius, you can feel the sweetness like Japanese sweets and the bitterness in turn. The flavor is consistent at various temperatures and changes, and the taste confirms once again that heated sake is a high quality dish. It was great to be able to enjoy the quality of sake and not just drink it.
