A souvenir bought in Echigo-Yuzawa.
The bottle says it is slightly sparkling, but this bottle is not so much. The aroma is junmai sake, but it has a melon and white peach type ginjo aroma. The taste is balanced, with a structure where acidity and umami coexist. The mouthfeel is a bit thick, but the aftertaste is surprisingly clean and crisp. It has the feel of Niigata's light dryness with added mellowness.
I also kind of like that it is parodied with Truckter's Yanbo. There was also a Yanbo (Yamayo) and a Mahbo (Ma Yutaka), so I would definitely like to compare them.
Pairing] Pork shabu-shabu and scallops with butter
