(My opinion after drinking it) Yamato Shizuku is a brand that you can buy without going through a Dewazuru distributor. Here are my impressions. It has a ginjo aroma like white peaches. It has a slight yellow tinge. As soon as it enters the mouth, the delicious taste of rice fills the mouth with a huge mouthful of flavor. The aftertaste is sweet and sour, with a lingering sweetness that lingers in the throat. Although it is called a summer sake, the alcohol content is not low, and the flavor of Miyamanishiki is fully expressed. It has a solid body, yet still feels somewhat cool. Like Junmai Ginjo, this sake is once-fired, but instead of the traditional raw bottling method, it is bottled and fired at the same time it is bottled in the vat. The extra work involved gives the sake a rich freshness on the palate that makes it hard to believe that it is a 60% polished junmai sake. The taste is cool and refreshing, and the fruity aroma of AK-1 yeast is even more vivid. The acidity is clearly assertive and refreshing, and the palate quickly turns dry, which is probably the reason for its cool flavor. Brewer: Akita Seishu (Daisen City, Akita Prefecture) Volume: 1,800ml Degree of alcohol content: 16 Rice used: AK-1 yeast Polishing ratio: 60 Yeast used: Not disclosed Acidity: 1.5 Sake degree: +1.0
