Hori
I received a bottle of Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki from Shinshu Kamerei.
I had hesitated to open it for a long time since I finally bought it, but I took the plunge and opened it.
It is similar in lineage to the Junmai Daiginjo Miyamanishiki (Gingame) that I had previously received, and in any case, it has an honest and clean taste without any cloying flavors or habits. It has a gentle sweetness and umami that is typical of Yamadanishiki sake, but the volume is restrained and the line is thin, and each element of the flavor is clearly perceptible and transparent.
There is no resistance when swallowing, and the sensation of the sake flowing down the throat as if it is soaking into the body is the same as that of Ginkame.
The lingering aftertaste is also clean and clean, with no pronounced bitterness or spiciness, and it fades away beautifully.
It is of course delicious on its own, but since it does not have a habit of interfering with meals, it can be enjoyed as a dining sake in a wide range of dishes.
Shinshu Kamerei is a brand that I would like to actively buy and drink if I have the chance to buy it in the future.
