Shichida's Shichiwari-Gobun Polishing Series is fresh with a strong umami flavor, but not too heavy! Since this is my favorite series, I compared the different rice varieties to see which one I liked the best!
The Omachi has more standing aroma, a little more acidity, and a clean finish. The Yamadanishiki has a little more sweetness, a richer umami, and a heavy aftertaste with a touch of astringency.
I guess it depends on the sake, but my personal impression is that I prefer the Omachi!
