Yahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture.
The main brand was "Echino Hakusetsu," but it appears that "Yahiko" will be the main brand from now on.
This Junmai Ginjo is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko Village, and is a good sake, not fruity, but calm and soft.
Yahiko Village is where my mother is from, and I spent a lot of time there as a child when I was sent to my mother's home, so it is like a second home to me.
Yahiko Shrine, the first shrine in Echigo, is located there.

The long-awaited "Yahiko" brand
I was surprised to learn that there is a store in my hometown that carries this brand.
I heard that the brewery has been reorganized and the taste has become even better.
But still, this is out of the ordinary!
Overall, the flavor is calm.
It has a fruity flavor with a clean and crisp finish.
The umami can be felt with a touch of savoriness, which is a balance I like!
It is high level. ‼️
