Hori
I had a bottle of Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki.
This is my second bottle of Yamazan, the first being a light nigori, so this is my first clear sake.
The first bottle was a light nigori, so this is the first time I have tasted a clear sake. Unlike the light nigori, which was refreshing, the sweetness, umami, and acidity were concentrated, and the taste was juicy, as if you were biting into a ripe fruit.
Perhaps it is the color of the label, but the nuance of grapes is strongly felt. While it has a rich flavor, the second half has a sharpness that comes from the bitterness, so you will never get tired of drinking it.
As it becomes more popular, it is becoming more difficult to buy, but it has become a favorite brand that you must buy if you come across it.
