Purchased at Otsuka Sake Shop in Takasaki in August 2024.
A Maebashi sake brewery (I also drank Shinmasa Ash and Shinomine at that time), which I had enjoyed the night before at a fashionable izakaya in Takasaki.
The first sip has a gorgeous, sweet aroma typical of Yamadanishiki.
When poured into a glass, the cucumbers are swimming around like a planetarium.
In the mouth, it is sweet, fruity, and easy to drink. In addition, it has a sourness and juiciness as if it were a grapefruit, with a subtle bitterness that lingers in the mouth.
It also has a gaseous taste, so the style has a refreshing aftertaste.
On the other hand, the unique umami of arabashiri can also be felt well, making this sake an excellent balance of sweetness, acidity, drinkability, and umami.
Yuto's standard sake seems to be Gohyakumangoku, and I really wanted to drink that one, but... Even if the rice is changed, the production is still excellent.
Yuijin seems to be a brand known only to those in the know, so if you are interested, be sure to check it out.
