PREMIUM JUNMAI GINJŌ GENSHU MIKADOMATSU
A ripe fruity aroma like lichee hangs in the air before you get it close to your mouth, and its texture is mild and rich. The first impression of its taste is sweet like high-grade Japanese sugar. After that, sourness comes instantly and mixes with the sweetness. With keeping the balance of sweetness and sourness, umami is added on it.
It's very juicy and fruity but we can enjoy the richness influenced by high-grade rice in the same time. Transition of taste and spread of aroma go slowly but those are cleared sharply after the peak of taste. It never lets people to feel tired of drinking it. New brewery rice "YAMASAKE No.4" is produced by an agricultural high school of Yamagata. It is made of the mixture of Yamadanishiki(King of brewery rice) and Kinmonnishiki(Dreamy brewer's rice).
It is a special rice with a particular profound umami and only a few brewery have just started to use. It is said that the sake made with hard water is more suitable for aging, because the hard water contains lots of mineral. This distinguished mellow taste should be thanks to its special brew with making good use of hard water and aging.
