This is my second Omine since I bought a cup of sake some time ago. I had a good impression of this sake because it was so delicious even though it was in a cup, but I had been avoiding it because it is not easy to buy. I heard that this unfiltered raw Yamadanishiki sake was very well received, so I bought it anyway without looking at other sake, lol.
I don't know how to describe western Japan's sake, so to use a metaphor from eastern Japan, this fruitiness with hints of apple, muscatel, and white peach is like a sake from Nagano! It has a very rounded and gentle mouthfeel, like a Shinshu Kamerei. In other words, it's really delicious! Daimine is amazing.
The freshness, sweetness, umami, and richness like brown sugar make it a monster sake that the more you savor it, the deeper you will get into it. The closest I've had so far is Tenryohai Shiboritate.
No wonder it has a big fan base, and I may end up chasing after it.
The lightness of the 14.5 degree alcohol content makes it easy to drink without even thinking about it. It has three times the alcohol content of beer, so it's dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!
