YORU
This is a product of the newest sake brewery in Japan, "Iraka Sake Brewery".
The brewery invited a toji (master brewer) from Taishinshu to brew this sake.
It has a ginjo aroma like grapes, and the moment you put it in your mouth, you feel a fresh, fizzy sensation.
It has a juicy flavor as it passes down the throat, and a gentle lingering aftertaste.
The specs are undisclosed, but the rice is locally grown under contract, so it is probably Hitogokochi.
The level of quality is high, as is that of Yamazan, a new brewery also from Nagano. Both have a similar taste, but I have the impression that there are many parts that are more subdued than the freshness of the other one.
