I went into the Sake Merchant Yamada to celebrate their opening, and they just happened to have it! Normally I wouldn't buy it, but on days like this I do! I want to drink Jikin eventually, but that's it. It's a once in a lifetime encounter, so if you come across it, drink it! Here we go!
Gentle, sweet aroma of grapes gently wafts through the air. It has a slightly hard and gentle mouthfeel, refined without any cloying taste, with a carbonated dryness, a moderate banana sweetness and umami taste that are well integrated. There are not many sake made with Yamada-Nishiki that are so refined and free of clutter. The spiciness is modest, but it also penetrates the back of the throat when swallowed. It is a modern dry sake like Gagakuyo. But these days, I find it sweet and fruity. I wonder what direction my tastes will take. Thank you again for the food tonight!
