This was the first time I drank Iyari's unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
Very fruity and easy to drink.
Today at a gibier skewer restaurant in Kyoto.
Wild boar hearts and rabbit. This is also delicious.
It was sweet, but not only sweet, it was delicious... ☺️.
You can really taste the flavor of the rice and I enjoyed it to the fullest during and after the meal💕.
Is this the taste of Yamahai?
I don't know how to tell you how delicious this is because I don't have enough vocabulary ......🥺
I'm still learning about sake, so I'd love to try a variety of sakes! I thought 🌈
The other day we drank Kitajima of the Ikomoto-zukuri, and today we have Iyasato of the Yamahai-zukuri.
It's a sweet, moist sake that's delicious even when served cold. I've heard that Ikomoto and Yamahai sake taste better when heated, so I'll try it hot later.
I tried it lukewarm. It smells ridiculously sweet and delicious when you put your nose to it! Delicious!
It was so good that I looked it up on the internet and found someone who wrote about it below. This one is easier to understand!

When I heated it up again, it smelled and tasted like strawberry milk. Interesting!

I've had Beian Daigoku before, but this is the first time I've had Iyari. It is a lineup of Yamahai.
It has the same flavor as Hokan-Daikoku, but with the acidity of Yamahai. No, it might be good.
I'm not saying it might be, but it's good.

"Iyasato Yamahai Junmai Nama Genshu."
I was pulled by the melon-like label and bought it.
I think most of the sake from Nagano prefecture is 59% polished.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Hitogochi
Rice polishing ratio: 59%.
Alcohol content: 16 degrees
Sake degree / Acidity: -6 / 2.2
Amino acidity: 1.9
Yeast: Association 701
Serve cold.
The color is a little yellow.
It has a slightly sweet aroma with a strong alcohol smell.
In the first sip, you can feel the sweetness of acid and alcohol.
On the second sip, you can feel the rich sweetness and the richness of rice.
On the third sip, you can feel the lactic acid and amino acid flavor of Yamahai.
It is interesting that it is quite complex flavored with alcohol, sweetness, richness of rice and a little lactic acidity.
As the temperature rises, the richness and sweetness of the amino acids become even richer, and there is a slight tingling sensation.
The taste is solid, so it's like a rich sweet flavor.
Nagano sake is my favorite 😋.
Good morning, sleepyhead healer.
It's delicious sake from Nagano prefecture. 😋
I thought they were famous for their wine 🍷 but I learned that their sake ❽ is also delicious.
Purchased February 2021
I chose this bottle because I'd never had it before and it was a brand I don't see very often, but it far exceeded my expectations.
It was so thick!
The sweetness spreads quickly in the mouth, and a slight nigami finishes it off.
There are many sakes from Nagano that I like.

Iyasato Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Naokumi.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Hitogochi
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 17 degrees
Sake degree / Acidity:-15 / 2.6
Amino Acid Level / Yeast: 2.2 / KT901
Storage: Keep below 10°C
The color is faintly yellowish.
The aroma is mildly grainy and sour, but it is hardly noticeable.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the juicy acidity of direct pumping, and feel the beautiful sweetness and sourness at the same time.
This is the harmony of the acid of Yamahai and Naokumi.
The aroma in the mouth is full of sweetness like brown sugar at the same time as swallowing.
And the aftertaste has the feeling of sake, but there is no tingling feeling.
It has a sake degree of -15 degrees, but it is not sticky sweetness, but a rich and full sweetness.
My personal impression is that the sweetness is more like brown sugar than beautiful acidity.
When the temperature rises a little and it becomes cooler, the acidity and flavor swell and the richness increases.
This is the quintessential mellow umikuchi.
I prefer it when the temperature rises a little.
