Purchased at Watanabe Sake Shop in Shimogo Town. A gem recommended by the owner. This junmai ginjo sake is made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Aizu. Last year's R4BY won the Silver Medal at the Sake Competition 2023, a sake competition. It has a calm and elegant mouthfeel with hints of pear and grapefruit. It has a light body with a beautiful sweetness reminiscent of pear and grapefruit, and a refined acidity. The palate is clean, but the sweetness is mellow and light, It has a good balance of juicy bitterness, acidity, and spiciness. It has a good balance between juicy bitterness, acidity, and dryness. The aftertaste is also dry. It is not as glamorous as the sake entered in the sake competition, but rather a wonderful gem that cannot be imitated by other breweries, with its emphasis on the umami of the rice and a finish that is not heavy.
