smuraiMidnight Blue Yamamoto, I haven't opened this in a few days and the cork popped. I think it has some acidity, but it's not enough to irritate my tongue. This acidity gives it a tropical fruitiness in the mouth. The aftertaste lingers for a long time.

smuraiIt is a new sake of Gohyakumangoku. It was my first time to try Souhomare, and it is delicious. It has a slight semedyne taste. I'm not a big fan of the semedyne type, but this one goes down easy. I think it is because of the strong taste of the rice.

smurai100% Gohyakumangoku from Okuizumo, recommended at my favorite liquor store as a sake for intermediate to advanced drinkers. The liquor store I go to recommends it as an "intermediate to advanced" sake. They recommend serving it at room temperature or lukewarmly heated, so I did just that. The aroma is a bit like ham. As I sip it, the spice-like aroma returns. There is a lactic acid-like sourness from the mid-palate, and the aftertaste lingers for a long time. It's not easy to understand, so it's definitely for intermediate drinkers and above...
