When I visited a famous liquor store, I happened to see the brand introduced in a video and bought it without a second thought. I was in Joetsu, Niigata, and the name is Yamama.
But that aside, here we go! It has a very pleasant aroma, almost rose-like in its gorgeousness. After the smooth and unctuous brewing water, the sake has a refreshing acidity, which is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, and a lot of umami, making it a calm sake. The end result is an easy-drinking sake with a sharpness that is typical of Echigo-Tsumari. My mother, who drank it with me, also highly praised Yamama, so please give it a try. Thank you again for your hospitality this evening!
