First time drinking Kumamoto sake 🍶.
The cork is as good as champagne that the cork flies off with a pop. I didn't know it was a bottle-opening warning 😳.
It has a fresh, fizzy, bubbly taste. It has a hint of acidity and a slight sweetness that is typical of Yamada Nishiki, making it an elegant drink. Very tasty 😋.
100% Yamadanishiki produced in the Kikuchi River basin, Kumamoto Prefecture
Polishing ratio unknown
Good evening, Mr. Matchi 😃.
Congratulations on your Kumamoto burial㊗️ at Sando 🎉I remember the shocking deliciousness we felt when we had our first drink😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
It's been a while since I was able to add a prefecture to the list ☺️ I was surprised to see it hit the ceiling with a lid jump, but it's low in alcohol content and most importantly, it's easy to drink. It's a great bottle, I want to drink it again 😆.
The second new Sake from San-do is Yamada-Nishiki after Hozu!
This is also a four-no brewery, and this year's sake is also very good.

San-do 2024 Yamadanishiki Shichi-no-sho
I bought it because it was the first Shichinonosai.
The aroma was complex and sweet, perhaps because of the previous information that it was a noble sake. It is delicious!
However, the sizzling sensation was restrained. The September rod of Ninonozo was also less sweet.
Good points
"Sweet and delicious, but not sticky.
"It is light and easy to drink.
Concerns
"I would like to see a little more shwashiness in the sansho.
Ingredient rice: Hozu
Alcohol content 13
No brewing, rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin, no fertilizer, no pesticides, natural yeast strain
First of all, a promotion. Have you already bought the JR East Project's Hakobyun Delivery Direct Kumi Toyohai that went on sale today, December 5th? I bought it today and will introduce it to you sooner or later! That's all! Here is the main story!
I thought I knew what I was getting into when I drank Yamada-Nishiki Sansho, but if I am going to judge Sansho, it should be brewed with rice that is unique to Kumamoto. This is my first time drinking Hozu, how do you like it? Let's go!
I was afraid it would leak, but it turned out to be fine. The carbonation was amazing. The lactic acid taste like calpis is the same as before, but there is a sweet melon-like aroma hidden in it. A little more floral than the Ninoh Brewery? The lactic sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and umami produced from the gaseous, slightly hard mineral brewing water is quite intense, with a sweetness like a shortcake. This beautiful and strong cream-like sweetness tastes like Senkou's raw sake. The slight depth and sweetness of the grapes disappear like a mist. Hozu has a strong sweetness, but not too much. I thought to myself, "This is just like making sweets. Thank you again for this evening!
Somewhat carmelized? Aroma.
Sweet and slightly savory. Sweet cider. Sweeter and more robust than Ninong Brewing. It's good without any complaints.
With raw oysters from Kitami, which were given to us by our hometown tax payer.
First time at San-Do-san, we started with Ninonozo.
One sip and you will understand why it is so popular!
I'm not a big fan of grain vinegar, and I'm not a fan of some of the traditional sake brewed from the traditional sake brewer's yeast.
but this one tastes like a good combination of rice and sake.
I would like to have it again!
BY2025 The first new sake from Sancho is Hozu
It is delicious again this year!
The flavor and sweetness of the rice seems to be getting more refined every year.
My personal favorite!
