Soba Gotan (蕎麦五反)

アラサー酒呑童子
A glass at a standing drink at a buckwheat noodle shop. Slightly golden in color, smooth in texture, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. The aroma is melon-like, with a fruity sweetness that matches the acidity, and a fresh juicy flavor with a hint of gas. It has a nice sharpness, giving the impression of a well-balanced modern sake that makes the next sip come quickly. Rice polishing: 50%. Strength: 16%. Pouring: Once Production: May 2023

The color is clear and the ginjo aroma is subtle. In the mouth, a fruity flavor like muscat spreads, and the sweetness combined with a slight gassy feeling gives it a fresh taste. It is not too floral and is very crisp, making it an ideal modern sake for occasions when you want to enjoy both food and sake at the same time. The label has a strong presence: "Yamamoto" is written in strong gold letters on a black background, like an arrow piercing through. The barcode is shaped like a sake bottle (or perhaps a sake bottle with a sake bottle inside), which I found interesting. Manufactured in October 2022 Akita yeast No.12? Koji rice: 50 polished, Kake rice: 55 polished

The taste was right in the middle of my favorites and I couldn't forget it, leading me to order it again in the middle 4 days. The year of production is the same as the last time, and the following impressions are the same as the last time. The color is a pale gold with a gorgeous ginjo aroma. In the mouth, the fruity aroma of isoamyl acetate combined with sweetness spreads with a young melon-like flavor, which is typical of Hououmida. Although it is fire-aged, it has a freshness, and I was surprised that a junmai sake can taste so modern, even though it is a 55 polished sake. Although it is dry, I personally find the alcohol content to be just right, leading to a balance between gorgeous and crisp. It was very tasty, and I would definitely buy it if I saw it at a liquor store. Manufactured in 2022/11 Tochigi yeast?

The color is clear and there is a faint scent of topping. In the mouth, the ginjo aroma with just the right c/e ratio spreads. The full sweetness matches the acidity, giving it a fresh, modern sake flavor. There is a hint of bitterness, and although it is not spicy, it has a good sharpness, giving the impression of a well-balanced sake that makes the next sip quicker. It is not a nama-shu, but it was once hi-ire, which gave it a slight gaseous sensation, which was a pleasant stimulant. 2021BY 50 polished

Fruity and elegant ginjo aroma spreads. It has a moderate sweetness and richness, accented by a moderate acidity that immediately follows. Although it is a fire-aged sake, it is fresh and has a hint of gas, which matches the acidity. I got the impression that this is a delicious sake that is well-balanced and yet has a definite presence. I would like to drink it again if I have the chance.
