We had a special summer-only junmai sake served with tofu mozzarella and sea bream carpaccio.
It has a summery, refreshing taste, a full and elegant umami, and a dry aftertaste.
The sweetness of the rice seems to have increased over time.

Unfiltered unpasteurized sake found at La La Iwate, an Iwate Prefecture original in Morioka, Japan.
It has a mineral water-like mouthfeel with a hint of fruity sweetness.
The slight effervescence and aftertaste surprisingly amplify the aftertaste as time goes by, and you can't help but reach for it, and it will be gone in no time!
It may be because I was hungry that I could feel it in my stomach.

Sake from an agriculture-industry-industry collaboration effort to build the "Maesawa Brand
Unrefiltered unpasteurized sake jointly developed in 2014 by precision equipment manufacturer Dejiizu, sake brewer Iwate Meizo, and Maesawa Beef Ogata.
The sake has a slightly sweet taste, but is exquisitely made to be drunk neatly, and the fragrance that spreads on the palate is rich and expansive, reminiscent of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The sake rice is "Ginginga," Iwate Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing. The rice is grown in Maesawa by a local manufacturing company, Degias, using composted soil and the duck farming method. The koji mold is "Reimei Hiraizumi" and the yeast is "Yuko no Moui," which is popular for producing highly aromatic sake. The koji and yeast are both from Iwate Prefecture, and the water used for brewing is also from Maesawa.

It is a very expensive sake, so I drank it slowly.
It has a rounder and fuller impression than Nijuwari Sanbu.
The finish was graceful and did not interfere with what I was about to put in my mouth.
I would like to see her again, but there is still a little bit of sadness that I can't see her very often.

We had it at a sushi restaurant.
It went well with the red vinegar nigiri.
The wine soaked in smoothly, and the aftertaste quietly faded away as if water had receded.
The impression of those who drank it with me was one of quiet excitement.

The quality of the sake is clearly of the mellow, umakuchi type, with a transparent, clear, and flowing taste. Its sweetness is smooth without viscosity, neat, and gentle, and it is easy to drink. The softly and gently spreading heady aroma is reminiscent of muscatel and rumminess, with hints of sweet grapes in the overtone.
