Homecoming Series (6) This is the third bottle of the New Year's Eve series. It is a local Ibaraki sake, Tsumugibijin from Nomura Brewery, Yamahai special junmai sake. I bought it because I saw this brand's Yamahai for the first time in a store. For a Yamahai sake, it gives the impression of being smooth and refreshing. The aroma is restrained and the taste is dry, with a firm alcohol taste and the umami of rice. I tried it warmed, and it went well with strong flavored meals such as pickles and kinpira. We were not sure which rice was used as the ingredient, which was a bit disappointing. I wish they would be more aware of the terroir. Since the price was around 1,400 yen, I opened the bottle with high expectations, but I think it will be even more delicious with more umami after aging for about 1.5 years.
