Yuzi
☆☆☆☆☆
Finally, the first Jyushiyo. And with Tobiroki!
I wonder if I can afford such a luxury (lol).
My junior was able to buy a bottle of Jyushiro and myself a bottle of Hiroki, so we decided to share and sample each other's sake based on a gentleman's agreement.
It was a complex sake with a taste that transcended everything, neither sweet nor spicy, but rather a fruity, shwashy, body-penetrating type.
At this level, I found it to be a matter of taste. I wondered if it would grow again after a few days, but by the second day the schwashiness had subsided and the taste changed to a melon-like flavor. It loses its freshness, but I still like it better after it settles down.
Jyushidai is too strong and complex, so of course it is good, but it would be more interesting to drink it after getting to know various kinds of sakes.
I was impressed like when I had a chance to eat a high-class yakiniku (barbeque) after earning a certain amount of money on my own. If you drink this when you are young, you will want to seek out sake of this level, and you will probably not be able to get this impression unless you drink a lot of sake.
I gave it a score of 91 points.
