Yamagata, Japan
Gasanryu Kisaragi (雅山流 如月) — BLUE bottle
Brewery: Shindo Shuzoten, Yonezawa, Yamagata
Classification: Daiginjo
Rice: Yamada Nishiki
Polishing: 50%
ABV: 14%
Style: Nama-zume / single pasteurization
Brewer description: Light, clean and elegant, emphasizing a fresh ginjo aroma and smooth, transparent character with a crisp finish.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas.
Very good and underrated. Excellent value. Not something I would bring to a serious restaurant, but I would absolutely buy it for home or at a casual restaurant.
