A relative gave me a set of Yamagata sake drinking comparisons and I tasted the different rice varieties.
Dewanosato Tokubetsu Junmai was the most acidic of the three, with a clean taste and no clutter. The Tsuyahime Junmai Ginjyo had a delicious rice-like aroma that left the nose with a slight sweetness.
Dewasanzan Junmai Ginjo has a slight sweet sake-like aroma and a clean taste.
All three have a classic taste, with a strong umami flavor and a delicious aroma of rice. It is interesting to compare the aromas of the different rice varieties.
After the comparison, we had it warmed up and served with taimeshi (rice with sea bream) and shiitake mushrooms. The combination of hot sake and grilled shiitake mushrooms made for a very happy evening.
