Hello Delectable….
This is tasting notes for Dewazakura Junmai Daiginjo Yukimegami 48.
Yukimegami means Snow Goddess in Japanese and 48 means the rice polishing rate…senmaibuai.
This is a very smooth sake from Tendo City in Yamagata where they get lots of snow….very important when making sake.
Persimmon, white Asian pear, lychee, white nougat chocolate, cinnamon and green melon.
Round and savoury finish.
For dinner we had local Gindara slow braised in soy dashi with ginger and green onions — a month ago

First encounter with sparkling sake at Senyu near UH with Willie. Omakase and excellent. Sake very dry but paired nicely with the variety offered. Bubbles effective as palate cleanser! — 6 years ago

Fruity, with a bit of a harder mineral alcohol bite to the finish. Paired nicely with a tempura squash dish. — 4 years ago

Pears, pears, pears, subacid pome fruit. White tea and white grapes, candy fruit esthers, and cocoa! Serious hint of bittersweet chocolate aroma. Really beautiful body with round umami and a little residual sugar in this unfiltered sake. — 6 years ago
