I picked this one up as a so-called "jacket" sake, but it is a well-balanced sake as a food sake, with no peculiarities and a refreshing taste. Hey, Kitaro! It's good!
It has a slightly peculiar taste. I thought that since the sake brewery produces Chiebijin, this flavor must be a result of the quality of the rice. I drank it all up without even a moment to savor it. Oh, no.
It is refreshing and not the sweet sake characteristic of the Kyushu region. When drunk at room temperature, it leaves a distinctive rough, bitter taste on the tongue.
It is strange and interesting that even if you use Omachi or something like that, you can make such a sweet sake. I learned about sake from the Tohoku region, so I knew it was different. I was deeply impressed.
This sake is full-bodied and enjoyable both chilled and at room temperature.
This is what I mean when I say that it never stops. It can be enjoyed at different temperatures, so it is delicious at any time of the year. Toki-nazawa.
Rich aroma. Gentle sweetness becomes firm and full-bodied, with a slight acidity leading to a clean aftertaste impression. Dramatic sake is romantic and to my liking.
The mouth-watering umami and acidity fill the mouth as if to say, "This is what it means for rice to ripen. It is not clingy and persistent, but soaks into the tongue and disappears with its elegant aroma. You will want to enjoy this sake at different temperatures.
Perhaps it is because I have had many opportunities to drink sake from the west, but I find that Yamagata sake is so light that I cannot imagine how heavy it really is, and it is easy to drink, as if I had been somewhat taken for granted. It is a sake to be enjoyed slowly and at a slower pace.
It is a slightly mealy sake, but the sweetness is recovered by an indescribable elegant spiciness. Such a sake can be pleasantly intoxicating if you hold it in your mouth and let it dwell for a while. I wonder if this is better to drink at home.
The aroma foreshadows a hint of sweetness. When you drink it, there is a slight acidity, but it is easy to drink and light. As it slowly rolls over the tongue, the impression changes to one of firmness and richness, leading to a lingering finish. The label is cute.
