Hakugakusen Aged Junmai Daiginjo GAKU.
This is the first Hakugakusen from the series I received as a farewell gift.
The Yasumoto Sake Brewery is located in Yasuhara-cho, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, and is proud of its long history, with the 47th generation of the Yasumoto family being in charge of the brewery.
The name "GAKU" comes from Lord Matsudaira Harutake, the 16th head of the Fukui domain, also known as the "Four Wise Lords" at the end of the Edo period. 100% Gin-no-Sato produced in Fukui Prefecture is used, and the package is wrapped in Fukui's famous habutae furoshiki, or wrapping cloth.
The slightly tinted color of the sake and the ripe, banana-like aroma on the nose led one to imagine a matured taste, but the taste on the palate defied expectations in a good way, with a refreshing acidity and crisp, clear, and clean flavor. As the concept of "dancing acidity" suggests, we were able to enjoy a light taste even after aging!

Hello YSTJ, ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for trying my sake "Hakugaku Sen" 🙇.
I hadn't drunk it yet because of the high price and another spec I was after, but I made up my mind after reading your review 🥰 I'll go buy it 🤣.

Hi Jive!
This was the first Hakugakusen I've had, and it was a delicious sake, and I can see why you've made it your sake of choice 😆 I'll definitely try the rest of your lineup 🫡.
