It is said to be a representative sake of Yamagata Prefecture made by the best snow goddess of the year and two of the best breweries in Yamagata that year.
The sake is made by adding only the sake that has fallen under its own weight.
Although the quality of the sake makes it expensive, it has a complex fruity flavor that is unlike any other sake I have tasted, and it is delicious without any cloying taste!
A fairly sweet sake. It has a gentle taste that even those who don't like sake can go for it because it is thick and comfortable to drink and not like sake, even in a good way. It is not a food sake, but rather a type of sake to enjoy the taste of sake.
Junmai-shu I bought as a souvenir from Fukui. I bought heshiko and dried firefly squid and thought it would be a good idea to buy a dry Junmai-shu for this flavor! I bought it.
As expected, it was dry with a lot of gusto! It tastes great cold, but it also tastes even better when heated up, as if it were a sake that can be heated up.
It was the perfect local sake to go with Fukui's snacks!

The taste is fruity and mellow, with a deep umami flavor, but the aftertaste is good, leaving a dry taste typical of sake from the port town of Sakata! Is this deep umami a taste that comes from the sake brewing process?
It is so good that you can have many glasses of sake alone, chilled. ☺️
This sake was drunk during sightseeing in Awara Onsen. I was grateful for the rare limited edition of 50 bottles that were available only in summer.
It was a pleasant sake with a dry, crisp, Fukui-style flavor, and when served chilled with seafood, it brought out the flavor of the sea.

It has a fruity, rich taste with a good umami that comes through quickly! And yet, the clear, transparent taste is characteristic of Yamagata sake.
It was a good sake to chill and enjoy the flavor and aroma!
This sake was drunk during a trip to Awara Onsen. It seems to be a sake that is only available in summer.
It was dry with a refreshing sharpness typical of summer sake, but had a mellowness typical of sweet sake, which was quite unusual.
It tasted even better with sashimi.
