Juyondai別撰諸白 白鶴錦

Spicy. I don't like spicy sake, but I can drink this one without hesitation. Jyushidai has a core flavor that is common to all brands.

It has a unique sour taste. Super tasty.

This is a low-temperature, three-year-aged version of Sanghong. It is said that this is the only sake that was made this season and will never be produced again.

They say that this sake comes in only once every five years.
In Yamagata, the final destination of my round-town Tohoku trip, I found a phenomenal store with more than 20 varieties of Jyushidai. This sake is the most expensive sake in the Jyushidai line. I will now pitch it in a series.

Sanghong Juso
I only drank about 150ml,
I don't remember much 😅.
Very similar to Ryugetsu.
Soft sweetness with no cloying taste and a mouth-full of umami.
Not so strong sweetness, just the right amount.
Aromatic, sweet and umami mouthfeel
It is truly a Jyushiyo!
We had a precious sake!
I'm so happy!

Ryugetsu 🍶 XIV
The best sweet and tasty sake
Rich fruitiness 🍈.
Firm sweetness and umami that spreads gradually
Rich, but not sticky.
Fruity aftertaste lasts for a long time
Yes, it's expensive, but it was a valuable experience ✨.
This trip was a rewarding one 🎉.

Jyushodai Gokujo Morohaku
Glossy and gorgeous aroma
Fruity freshness and juicy sweetness.
It is followed by a rich umami taste.
Mellow and mellow, but also clear and transparent.
The finish is long and lingering.
Very satisfying!
Extremely delicious!
The best Morohaku is something else 😊.
On the way down from Gassan, we passed through Tendo City🚗.
Saw this on the side of the road (photo #3)
Tendo's Osho is also exceptional 🤨.
It's huge 🤣🤣👍

The 14th Dragon Bastard 🍶
I've been drinking a lot of different kinds of sake.
I think I like this one the best out of all the Jyushidai's 😆.
Fresh - fruity and very fresh!
It smells like melon🍈, muscat🍇, and white peach🍑.
Elegant sweetness and gentle bitterness
I can't get enough of the little bits and pieces!
Sweet and tasty, never get tired of drinking it!
Yamagata's local cuisine is delicious!
Dashi-dofu (soup stock), imoni (stewed sweet potato)
Sangwon pork grilled with negi salt 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Rich flavor
The perfect balance of tenderness, sweetness, and fatty flavor of the meat 🥰🥰🥰.

To another restaurant in Yamagata City
At the bustling Nanokaicho Gotenyan 🙂.
Asahitaka Nama Sake, Asahitaka Nama Stored Sake, Jyushidai Honmaru Nama Zume 🍶.
Comparison of three kinds of sake
Asahitaka Tokubetsu Honjozo, winter only, freshly squeezed new sake.
Long name 😆.
It comes out only in November.
First time drinking the raw specs 😊.
The label on the back says to drink it within 3 months.
It's already been over 6 months since the date of manufacture 😆.
It doesn't have a chili sensation.
Not much aroma either.
Fruity sweet acidity followed by soft umami.
Slightly alcoholic
Sweet and spicy
Al-ness is a bit annoying when drunk by itself😅.
Nama-shu, Nama-stored-shu and Honmaru
I drank all three of these cups repeatedly.
I think they are very similar
Just a little difference that words can't describe
If you can buy a bottle of Asahitaka for the original price of 2,500 yen, I can't complain!
There are many delicious sake beyond this price!
On this trip, I saw Asahi Taka at a supermarket in Yonezawa
about 5000 yen per bottle 😪.
Looks like it's almost the same price on Mercari.
Of course I went through it 😂.

Good evening, superbebe😊I'm so jealous of the 3 types of drink comparison‼️I can only say wow✨I was thinking of making a trip to Yamagata this summer after reading this post. That's what Yamagata Prefecture is all about✨✨.

Hi Wakata 🎈.
Yamagata is amazing✨✨
Beautiful nature!
The produce and sake is delicious too!
This trip to Yamagata was short, just 2 days,
I will go back 😆.
Maybe next time I will start from Sendai 🤗.

While eating soba noodles, we found a menu item that caught our attention.
Asahi Taka by Takagi Shuzo, the brewer of Jyushiro!
It is limited to only one store in Japan.
I'm sorry, but I still have some soba left, can I have another one?
It's unpasteurized sake, so it has the same great taste as the Jyushiyo Ararunushi I had before.
The price is almost the same as the Junmai Ginjo I drank first.
I was in the mood to continue drinking this.
I was thrilled to have found a great sake that is hard to find!
Skepticism
Asahi Taka Nama Genshu, a limited edition of Asahi Taka Nama Genshu, is sold only once a year, in November. It is the first new sake of the year.
It's time for a health checkup!
It's time to cut back on food and alcohol for a while, and then lift the ban when the checkup is over.

They have a large selection of Yamagata's famous sake!
They also have a lot of Jyushiro!
An unfamiliar light blue bottle!
Let's try this one!
It was freshly opened (thank you).
When you put it in your mouth, you'll feel the unique ramune and sizzling sensation of Jyushiyo.
No miscellaneous flavors.
The rice polishing ratio is 50%, but it seems to have been cut down even further.
I'm going to pair it with country soba for the finish.
knowledge
Jushiyodai Junmai Ginjo Orikarami Ararunushi Namaishu, which was in a green bottle until last year, but has undergone a minor change to a light blue bottle this year.
Some people have described this sake as having no blind spots, and they are right.
I think I can keep drinking as much as I want.
My wallet can't hold it😭😵😵

The fifth drink
An order of cold sake at Eiko Fuji of the all-you-can-drink menu.
Almost no aroma⁉️
The taste is also spicy⁉️.
When I think of Eikoh Fuji
I had an image of it being mellow and sweet😱.
Surprisingly, there are also such things🤔️.

After the fourth drink, I went back to Jyushiyo Odori.
This time it's the classic raw sake 😋.
The aroma is almost the same as the previous Jyushiyo
Fruity Ginjo aroma😆.
The taste is... melon-like too, but
It's also a bit sweet and mellow.
The rice flavor is also very strong
My favorite flavor😋.

The third drink
An order of cold sake from the all-you-can-drink menu.
Not too flashy.
but the aroma of the rice is very strong😋.
Compared to Kamikimoto, it's the same dry taste
but this one tends to be mellow 😆.
This is a mellow beer.
It's good for drinking with food 🎶.

Go on, have a second glass 😆.
If you're in Yamagata, there's no reason not to have a drink.
It's a special order item but I'm ordering it 😜.
And it's sealed🎶!
Very gorgeous and fruity ginjo aroma 😆.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I don't think I can feel the slight firing.
It's sweet and very easy to drink 😋 with melon type 🍈.
It also has a good taste of rice.
There is no miscellaneous taste or bitterness, and the aftertaste is great.

Haruei Chichi, good evening😄.
I've been eating and drinking a lot of delicious food 🎶.
I recommend this pub because you can drink 14yo for much cheaper than the market price😋

Last night, I had a drink with my car buddy.
Yamagata's local sake only shop🎶.
The first drink was a Kamikimoto from the all-you-can-drink plan!
The aroma is almost nonexistent.
A little rice flavor🤔
The taste is clean and refreshing.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good one.
Yesterday we drove from Iwate to Fukushima to Yamagata.
Yesterday we drove 400km along the route from Iwate to Fukushima to Yamagata in the shape of a J 😎.

I was on my way to visit Gonoi 😜.
