Overall - A 🍶 produced using the traditional Yamahai method where lactic acid is produced naturally. Yamahai production method tends to produce 🍶 that are gamey and laden with umami. True enough, this 🍶 is a typical Yamahai 🍶. Made with Gohyakumangoku 🌾 and produced in Niigata 新澙市, the 🍶 has a crisp and sharp note to it. Complex aroma of wet 🍚, soy sauce and 🍄 compliment the rich umami laden taste of the 🍶. The medium dry sweetness and long length of the 🍶makes it a well balanced 🍶. I paired it ❄️ with home cooked medium rare tenderloin 🥩 and garlic stir fry baby 🥦 from 🇦🇺 which I find that it truly elevated the meat and makes me salivate more. Overall, this is a good 🍶.
