I have had this Yamahai before, but this one has a better balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness.
It has a refreshing taste on the palate, and the sweetness and sourness gradually fade away in the mouth.
Sake made by Touji Yamauchi. A soft sake with a clear taste. Serve cold. The mouthfeel is refreshing. It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. As is typical of junmai sake, it comes on strong, but there is nothing unpleasant about it. The aftertaste leaves a soft sweetness that disappears. A very cost-effective and tasty sake.
The mouthfeel is refreshing. It retains a little of the mildness typical of nama-shu, and is slightly acidic but also sweet. The aftertaste is not unpleasantly alcoholic, but it is the type that makes you drink more and more, and when you realize it, you are drunk. It is delicious.
Made with Kinjiki Omachi. By not shaving too much Omachi and serving it unfiltered, the sake asserts the deliciousness of the rice.
On the palate, the sweetness comes first, followed immediately by a strong alcohol taste. It remains in the mouth and disappears leaving a bitter taste. After that, it is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness. It is probably best drunk as a mealtime sake.
The mouthfeel is robust and sweet. It has a full-bodied flavor, as is typical of the nama-shu, but it also has a sense of maturity, as it is a 2024 model. It is delicious.
The mouthfeel is robust. The sweetness comes softly, followed by sourness and a touch of alcohol. The aftertaste slowly fades away, leaving a hint of sweetness. Delicious!
The mouthfeel is refreshing. The balance between acidity and sweetness is very good, like a white wine. Thanks to wine yeast, perhaps. The aftertaste is also refreshing. I would like to know the secret behind the low alcohol content (9%).

Delicious.
The mouthfeel is sweet, but a robust alcohol taste follows.
The sourness is strong in the mouth, but it gradually blends with the tongue, and there is no unpleasant alcohol sensation. The aftertaste slowly fades away while leaving a delicious flavor, and the 17% alcohol content makes the body feel warm.
It is best to drink it in small sips with sashimi. Delicious!
The mouthfeel is sweet. The sweetness spreads elegantly in the mouth and disappears like water.
Easy to drink and delicious.
Photos will be posted later.
Mouthfeel is clean. Slight sweetness is followed by a strong bitterness. The aftertaste is clear and disappears after the umami flavor is gone.
Good as a food sake (to be paired with sashimi, etc.).
This sake is limited to Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is sweet and soft on the palate. Its flavor lingers in the mouth. When swallowed, it leaves a faint sweet aftertaste. Easy to drink. It is delicious.
