いーじー
Purchased at a liquor store.
It is a summer sake from Ryusei's limited series of seasonal sake, which I have drunk several times.
The store selling it is listed on the Fujii Sake Brewery's website. I think the rarity is high.
Drink it cold.
The aroma is slightly floral, with a hint of sugary, not fruity, rummy flavor.
Medium flavor, refreshing but acidic. Complexity is there. Gradually, the full flavor characteristic of Yamadanishiki comes through.
The aftertaste is crisp and the aftertaste is short.
In a previous post, I compared Ryusei's Yamada-Nishiki to a "Shinryu", a monster from Dracula. This sake also has the taste of a "Shinryu" with an aura of smartness and dominance. However, it also has a faint breath.
The website says it goes well with summer vegetables. I would definitely try it with light-flavored food.
It is suitable for intermediate level sake drinkers.
