Rice used is unknown. According to the owner of the sake shop, the sake is aged for three years, but there is no strong sense of aging, and it is a dry junmai-shu with a good acidity. It is a dry junmai-shu with a lot of acidity. The sweetness that spreads fluently and the spicy astringency in the latter half are very unique. After a few days, it becomes more crisp and easy to drink. For my taste, I'd like to have more of a woody or smoky flavor. Either way, it's not a type that will appeal to everyone. The mainstay of this brewery is Yamahai brewing, so it will be interesting to see how peculiar it is.

I was in Akashi on a business trip 🚄 First time I got off at Nishi-Akashi and had local sake heated with Akashiyaki 🐙 which I haven't had in a super long time. It feels spicy at first but the sweetness comes later 😯 Surprisingly, I like it a lot 😊. I'll drink it again when I go back to Akashi 😁.

The sake was a donation of 50 yen per bottle. The liquor store told me to use it as a cooking sake if it tasted bad because it might be a bit of a twist, but it's also just plain delicious.

Junmai 🍶. Watery, but strong sake 🍶. Very smooth. Good without excess or deficiency 👍. No decoration and little insistence. Can be served with a lick of rice. The ginjo aroma is only 0 and assertive, not spectacular, but that makes it gentle and easy to drink. Umi to @Takadanobaba 20221229

The fourth cup was "Asakayousei"! I was curious about this one, as I have only seen Shiga sake such as "Shichibonjari" and "Shoki Shoki". The aroma is apple-like. The mouthfeel is fresh, with a gaseous and hinted aroma that reminds me of a tank! The sweet and sour taste of green apple and the overflowing flavor is addictive ✨.

It has a Murokanamagen-like flavor, but it is easy to drink. The astringency of the taste has been reduced.

This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Nice to meet you too, Mr. Uonuma. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, it is a little more modern and dry. It has a soft umami flavor that quickly fades away. This is quite a tasty dry 🍶✨. I think my dad would like it.

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

I was told it would go well with the horse mackerel and kawachi-bankan tangerine. It has a kind of astringency, but when combined with citrus fruits, the fruity taste suddenly spreads.
