Very carefully and delicately crafted.
The aroma is clean and fresh, reminiscent of sound cultivation, with a smooth texture and a beautiful contrast of well balanced minerality and acidity.
Enjoy the hiyayogoshi of 2009 in the early spring of 2010...
Personally, it is at the peak of its maturity, with a strong sense of hard structure and a generally masculine balance with slightly sharp acidity.
I would like to enjoy it with a side dish with a strong umami flavor, such as the first bonito.
Alcohol: 16%.
Modern Yamahai.
After two years of maturation, it seems to have settled down, but still retains the mellow aroma of red honey apple that is unique to sake.
There is almost no mineral nuance, and the linear sweetness is intersected by the bitterness and acidity derived from Yamahai. The aftertaste is complex with some bitterness remaining.

Tasting Notes
Aroma
White pepper, lactic acid bacteria, tangerine, muscat, a hint of mint
Taste
Slightly effervescent. The wine has a surprisingly fresh acidity, a powerfully large concentration and a mineral structure, despite being aged for about two years. Yet it is gracefully integrated and beautifully balanced like a sphere.
Technical
Original Wine
Alcohol: 14%.
Yellow in color, good cold or warmed.
The aroma is moderate, the residual sugar is low, and the finish is long, but the Tenryo spirit is still evident... it's the best of both worlds!
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aroma like a traditional yeast mash (can be removed by turning), a little petrol, alcohol
Taste
Yamaenishiki (not so peculiar in aroma and taste)
It has a smooth mouthfeel and a faint sweetness like coffee candy. The aftertaste is thin and powerful, with a hint of bitterness in the after taste.

Aroma
Powerful ginjo aroma like a traditional sake yeast, green flesh melon
Taste
A single match of alcoholic flavor! From the middle to the end, the rice flavor and richness seeps through slowly.
It is a man's sake that is typical of Niigata (dark face but delicate).

Tasting Notes
Aroma
Ripe green melon, lily of the valley, petrol
Taste
(Tasted after aging in the cellar for six months) The balance is calm, but it is powerful and thick. The sharpness of the after taste is good for a Daiginjo.
(2nd day) It has a strong aroma of alcohol and a slightly angular acidity that blends into a mature state. I couldn't resist the bottom of the bottle!
Alcohol: 17%.
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Ripe green flesh melon, jasmine flowers, citrus, petrol
Taste
This wine tastes like an Alsace Riesling. Smooth, oily, fleshy, soft and feminine.
Just after uncorking.
The nose is tightly closed. The bitterness stands out a little, but you can feel the high potential in the mineral aftertaste.
One month after uncorking
Sphere-like ripeness! Elegant! Deep lily of the valley aroma characteristic of yeast! The balance of the trinity!
High-colored aroma, like candied grapefruit.
On the palate, both the acidity and the bitterness have a grapefruit-like nuance, with a honey-like thickness in the aftertaste, and a thick, cosmetic finish.
Very little brewed alcohol peculiarity, with a bittersweet taste in the mid-palate.
High quality that's hard to believe at a selling price of @1,100! If you're a local, this is a must-have! Sake powerhouse Nagano! Nagano is a great sake country!
It has a lovely aroma of red apples and white flowers, and is delicate but aromatic, without the image of common ginjo-shu.
Contrary to the expectation so far, the taste is flat and without umami, the acidity is mild and the aftertaste is flat.
The acidity is mild and the aftertaste is flat. There is no change in flavor throughout the bottle, and it is one of those bottles that you get tired of drinking quickly.
It has a modern aroma of red-fleshed melon and white flowers, accented by a bitter aftertaste.
The brewing water is probably soft, so the structure of the aftertaste is round and gentle.
When enjoyed well chilled, the balance between sweetness and flavor is well balanced, but a slight rise in temperature can disrupt that balance.
The impact of the first sip is good, and I think it would be an even better sake with more research into acidity. Thanks for the treat!
Tasting note
It has a similar tension and structure to the recent "Mitsumorosugi/Kirishin".
The mellow sweetness of the rice comes through the nose in the aftertaste, a taste of Ryujin Shuzo!
Stable and delicious, can be enjoyed cold or warm!
I bought it in a bottle, so I'll be observing its progress.
