A layered delight

A seasonal release due to it being “hiyaoroshi,” or brewed with matured rice from last fall. In keeping with the theme of patience, the brewers also use the yamahai brewing method to collect every last drop of goodness. The rich aroma is full of muscat and apple. The flavor that follows speaks of both sweet and sour raspberries amongst multiple layers of umami, and leaves a silky mouthfeel.

This brew has a wonderful complement of flavors that blend together so nicely. Notes of grape, banana, peach, and umami are prominent when I enjoyed this chilled in a wine glass. I was able to pair this sake with red sauce pasta and it handled it perfectly!

Among the "hiyaoroshi" I tasted, this belongs to the top group. Upfront nice mouthfeel with fruity but more complex (as compared to typical "daigonjo". No prominent yeasty taste. I love it.
