During a trip to Yamagata Prefecture in September, I stopped by Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, and visited Kawarako Sake Brewery when I saw a banner banner for Yamagata Masamune.
What I saw there was Yamagata Masamune brewed in Aizan. I had to buy it 😊.
The raw material rice is 100% Aiyama from Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio is 50%.
Alcohol level is 16 degrees
The specification is bottle heating.
When the bottle is opened, it makes a pleasant popping sound and contains a light gaseous sensation.
The aroma is gorgeous but not overly fruity, with a refreshing base of muscat, pear, and citrus, to which sweet nuances of apple and pineapple are slightly added.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, pale golden color and a smooth, silky texture.
As you take a sip, the round, plump, mild sweetness and umami that is typical of Aizan spreads in the mouth. The palate is immediately followed by a refreshing, yet slightly sharp acidity. The aftertaste has a fluffy rice flavor, with a moderate bitterness that sets up the lingering aftertaste, and it seems to go down smoothly 😊.
I had it at room temperature, but the sweet umami flavor seems to expand even when warmed to lukewarm.
