San-do Yamadanishiki Wooden Oke 2022
Clear and colorless with a slight haze.
The bubbles are clearly visible not only when the bottle is uncorked, but also when served in a glass.
Gentle aroma of raw ingredients like white dumplings.
Sweet fruity aroma like white peaches, with a strong scent of wooden vats.
The aroma has a sense of concentration that is typical of nama-shu, and is straightforward without any hint of aging.
The attack has a gentle sweetness without being sticky.
While there are clear bubbles, the acidity is restrained and the taste is not so tight.
Bitterness spreads slowly and persists, but it is not strong and does not make one tired of drinking.
The lingering finish is not very long, with hints of lychee and sweet white peaches.
Wooden Oke Yamadanishiki
A distinctive bottle that combines the low alcohol, raw and long-lasting trend elements with the classic wooden vat element.
The soft sweetness and bitterness, the slight bubbles and very light mouthfeel with wine-like alcohol (13%), and a character that can also find its place in the wine scene.
If we were to say so, it may be similar to Sengoku's fast brewing cuvée.
It is a sake to be enjoyed with ease, but its availability is becoming quite difficult, so it is difficult to easily uncork it.
