About the Sake
Yamma No. 12 is a special sake brewed by Niigata Daiichi Shuzo. This sake is a Junmai Daiginjo Nakadori direct-filling, unfiltered, unrefined sake, produced in very limited quantities. Characteristically, the sake rice called “Koshitanrei” harvested in the local terraced rice fields is polished to 50%, and only the “Nakadori” portion, which is said to have the most stable aroma, is used by direct filling from the Kameguchi. As a result, it has a very gorgeous aroma and smooth mouthfeel, with a concentrated rich sweet flavor. In addition, after being fired in the bottle once, it is aged in ice-cold storage for about six months, which gives it a very refined and noble flavor.
Tasting Notes
Due to the direct filling of the tank, there is a sufficient sense of carbonation when the bottle is opened, and the umami is strong. It has a mild, slightly fruity aroma. It feels a little dry in the mouth at first, but the umami gradually expands. It is very light and smooth to drink.
