Hikami Junmai Daiginjo Yasuke in a gourd bottle.
We got a bottle of Yazuke on New Year's Eve last year.
The unique gourd-shaped bottle is a sight to behold, but the main ingredient is a special grade A Yamada-Nishiki from the Matsuzawa district of the former Tojo Town in Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 35% and brewed to perfection!
The name Yasuke comes from a sushi alias derived from Yoshitsune Senbonzakura, and it advocates a food sake that best matches sushi, so it is served with sushi.
The sound of the tok-tok-tok when pouring it into the sake cup is also very attractive.
The mellow, banana-like aroma of the top of the bottle invites you to take a sip, and the sake is surprisingly clean and clear. It has the deep yet elegant sweetness of special grade A Yamada-Nishiki, plenty of juicy umami, and a clean and beautiful finish.
It is an enchantingly well-balanced bottle!
