Kaze no Mori Yamadanishiki 807, mid-sake.
Sake from Nara is also served at Nara's Miwa Somen specialty restaurant, so we had a set of Kaze no Mori sake to compare.
Next was the Yamada-Nishiki Shinchu Sake. The rice is polished to 80%, and as I looked at the yellowish color, I suddenly realized that I have not had many low-polished Yamada-Nishiki. The balance of the flavor, which is not cloying and yet has some complexity, is superb.
