YSTJ
Jikin Junmai Ginjo Mie Yamadanishiki Nama.
We drank a bottle of Jigin Junmai Ginjyo to compare it with the Takasago we had the other day.
It has a mellow top nose like banana or pineapple, and a pleasant gasiness that stimulates the back of the throat.
The gentle and elegant sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki is brought out to the fullest, and is well balanced with a generous umami that clings to the entire tongue.
The acidity and moderate bitterness elegantly linger on the palate.
The freshness and gorgeous balance of the wine, while still being very drinkable, is a quintessential example of the "Takasago" style.
