たけるパパ
This is an anniversary limited edition spring sake from Mitsuo Yamakawa.
The brewer is Mitobe Shuzo of Yamagata Masamune.
The illustrated label featuring Mitsuo Yamagata dancing the Hanagata Ondo dance on top of a portable shrine is eye-catching.
The rice used is domestic rice.
Polishing ratio is 60
As a commemorative anniversary sake, it is brewed with sake instead of brewing water.
The alcohol content is 16%.
Opening note: Despite the ⚠️, you don't feel any gas pressure at all😅.
When poured into a cup, the sake is golden in color and thick.
The aroma upon opening the bottle is mildly fragrant, with a muscat-like pear aroma.
When you take a sip, it has a round mouthfeel.
It has a firm, rich umami flavor, with a hint of bitterness.
This bitterness accentuates the sweetness derived from the rice. The acidity is also present, making the sake crisp and not too sweet.
Personally, I think it is a sake that should be drunk slowly because it is rich, not too sweet, and has a hint of alcohol.
This is one that is more enjoyable when served hiya than when served chilled, as the sweetness is more pronounced.
