Next is Tengu Mai's quintessential Yamahai Junmai, a Daiginjo. It is the most expensive sake among the souvenirs we bought in Ishikawa.
The aroma is gentle banana yogurt. The aroma is of a gentle banana yogurt, like Kanazawa yeast or No. 7 yeast. The taste has a lactic acidity and gentle sweetness that is typical of Yamahai, but the rice itself, perhaps due to the fact that it has been scraped, has very little miscellaneous taste, making it a very beautiful sake.
It is sharp when served cold, and its roundness is emphasized when served lukewarm, but unlike other Yamahai Junmai, it is too refined to be served hot.
