A sake with a name befitting the New Year, Izumo Fuji it is!
It is a Junmai Ginjo made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Shimane Prefecture, which is said to be Shimane Prefecture's sake. Shimane Prefecture is probably best known for Izumo-taisha Shrine. Soba (buckwheat noodles) are also delicious.
So we opened the bottle! The initial aroma is sweet and fruity, as if it were Yamada-Nishiki, but not so strong and soft.
In the mouth, the delicious sweetness of the rice spreads, as if it were Yamada-Nishiki. When it is poured down the back of the throat, it spreads a slightly strong acidity! But this acidity has a very pleasant aftertaste. There is also a slight spiciness that comes after the acidity, and it finishes pleasantly. It is a different Yamada-Nishiki from the famous Otters from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The production area of the rice also has an influence on the taste of the sake.
Sake is so deep! Next time, I would like to try it hot.
