Fukushima Prefecture. Aizuwakamatsu City. Suehiro Sake Brewery Co.
Yamahai Junmai Suehiro
It suddenly got very cold in Osaka.
Let's warm up with some heated sake using the teacher at Nobee Yokocho.
I still drink it at room temperature, though.
The color is clear and a faint pale yellow.
At room temperature, it does not have much of a heady aroma, and the mouthfeel is soft with a gentle lactic acidity and a moderate spiciness that is mildly sharp, making the overall taste gentle and not unpleasant.
It is best served hot or lukewarm.
Try warming it up and then gradually cooling it down.
The top aroma is a strong alcoholic aroma.
The mouthfeel is mild, and the lactic acidity is subdued, but still present.
From the simple, warm, fluffy rice aroma that tickles the nostrils, the finish is sharp and pungent.
I like it best lukewarm or warmed to human skin. It has a full, mellow, mild, and comforting umami and sweetness, and the sharp spiciness is mildly noticeable.
The last sip of the cold sake left in the sake cup, I felt the umami of the rice and the sweetness like an elegant sugar candy! I thought.
I enjoyed it with a glass of Suehiro's Yamahai warmed to lukewarm.
