もよもよ
It is now the season for Kudoki-ue's Yuki-Jinja. Snow Goddess is a rice produced in Yamagata Prefecture and is suitable for highly polished Junmai Daiginjo. I myself love sake made with Snow Goddess, so I had high expectations for this one. This one is a bit surprisingly highly polished at 29%.
When I drank it, I found it to be a true Kudo Ute. It has a mildly sweet taste with little acidity. The peachiness of the kudoki-ish taste comes out well. I have the impression that the characteristics are especially strong in the Yuki no Meishin.
It seems to go well with white sauce and other mildly sweet dishes, but considering that it is to be drunk chilled, it should be served at a reasonably low temperature. Maybe a cold potage? It is also delicious as a stand-alone alcoholic beverage.
