Yoemon生酛純米 陸羽132号60% 直汲み生原酒 2021BY
Kab
Brewed with Kenji Miyazawa's rice (rice rice), this sake was shipped in January 2023, so it appears to have aged slightly at the brewery.
Start with a cold sake. The color is slightly yellow. It has a slight cemedine aroma, typical of Yoemon.
There is a slight gaseous sensation when it is drunk. The acidity comes first, then the juicy ripe citrus sweetness and the umami of the rice swell a bit, and the finish is bitter and gradually fades.
Warmed on the third day after a day's sandwich at 40°C. The cemedine smell is gone. The cemedine smell is gone and the emphasis is on the sharpness. At 45℃ and 50℃, the aroma is not significantly different, but the fragrance is a little more pronounced. It has a good flavor even when it cools down.
It is also good heated, but I personally think it is more for cold sake. 2 years of aging makes it more modern for Yoemon, and I think it is more about balance. It seems to me that it is very balance-oriented for a rice wine.
It has a nice, clean taste. It can be served with vegetable salad, boiled vegetables, herring, oysters, Iburi ginger, and anything else.
