Kumakichi
I was satisfied with Yukinokaya's Yamahai, so I bought Kikuhime's 2019 Junmai Yamahai at a local liquor store on consecutive days.
When it comes to Yamahai, Kikuhime is the first choice! This is one of the bottles I was looking forward to.
I'm looking forward to drinking the Yamahai built by the god of sake brewing, Mr. Noriguchi!
This is a rich and umami type of 2019 junmai sake that has been aged for a long time. When I poured it into a glass, it was slightly golden in color, with an aroma that didn't feel like Yamadanishiki from the top notes, and I could taste the flavor and lingering aftertaste rather than sweetness.
It is hard for me to buy the Yamahai of the Naohiko Nouguchi Research Institute, which I drank without knowing anything about it, but it was a bottle that I would like to compare again.
Alcohol content: 16 degrees
Rice polishing ratio: 65% (100% Yamadanishiki from the special A district of Yoshikawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture)
