Sanchi Yamadanishiki 2021
Lightly cloudy
Dairy products from cream cheese to whey
Aroma of raw materials like white dumplings
Slightly fruity aroma reminiscent of white peaches
The aroma is relatively mild despite being No. 9.
Low alcohol content (13% alc.) and almost no alcohol taste.
Slightly effervescent
Rich acidity and a tight texture.
More umami than the aroma suggests.
Standard line of Sanchi
The trend of low-alcohol junmai sake with a pure yeast base up to the level of nyusei is similar to that of Shinmasa and Senkou, but it has a slightly stronger raw material aroma and a thicker flavor than those.
It is easy to enjoy because it has a fizziness like frizzante at a wine-like alcohol content and is not as complex as classic sake brews.
It is also easy to afford, priced moderately at around 2,000 yen for a No. 4 bottle.
I had an image that there were not many breweries in the west that made this style of sake, but I would definitely like to repeat the experience with a finish and price comparable to those in the east!
