寿梨庵
The Yaeguhiki series is a series of earthen, or Daichi, sake limited to the prefecture. The last Kaze was made with Koshi-tanrei from the brewery's home region, and this time also uses 100 Gohyakumangoku, locally grown in Kakizaki.
The aroma is slightly banana-like. When you sip it, it is even more bananas and milky, like a banana shake. It has the same firm acidity as the previous Breeze, and although it is hard to describe, it is very distinctive. The second half has a solid body, and towards the finish it is very Gohyakumangoku-like!
It seems to be fire-aged, but it is very fresh, and this may also be bottle-heated and fire-aged. It is not very sophisticated, but gives the impression of a new Niigata sake. In common with Kaze, it is very refreshing, natural, and airy to drink.
I would definitely like to try the others 😊.
