I got the Natsuno Junmai again this year, which I loved after drinking it last year, and when I found out they released a different tank, I rushed out to buy it. LOL!
While the early summer version is made with yeast No. 14, this one has not only an alcohol-like aroma of melon and banana from the No. 6 series, but also some fresh light fruit nuances.
The combination of No. 6 yeast and the sake rice, Yuki Megami, is said to produce lychee-like fruit nuances. This may be what I felt in the standing aroma.
From the moment you take a sip, the fruity, floral, mineral-rich, and solid flavor blooms at once. The slow but steady disappearance from there is just like fireworks going off in the night sky in summer.
Hopefully, the fireworks would be expressed as if they were shooting up with a whiz, but I was very satisfied with the deliciousness of Yamagata Masamune as always.
By the way, compared to Tank 1, this one is a little lighter and has a cleaner aroma and taste. Both are very tasty and impressive!
