I thought it's been a long time since I've seen Yamamoto, but earlier this year he had a bottle of Kijoshu for his anniversary 😅.
I was wondering if there were any left because I was late to the party, but Sake no Yamamoto had it!
Dodger Blue for this time only: ⚾️
Sweet top nose. Sweet flavor with bitterness. Slightly effervescent, calm and clean taste.
The acidity was impressive.
To be honest, it didn't taste so good when it was fresh out of the fridge...
The closer it gets to room temperature, the more fruity and sweet it becomes.
After a few days, it became tasty even when served cold. More citrusy than freshly opened.
Yamamoto's Midnight Blue.
I know I'm a month late in posting this 😅 and I know a lot of you have already had it, but it's a special color celebrating Dodgers player Yamamoto's success.
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of freshness.
In the mouth, there is a slight gasiness 🫧.
The palate has a slight acidity and a refreshing sweetness.
Yamamoto is still delicious.
Yamamoto-san, a blue label I'm curious about but have never seen before in the cold storage.
I asked everyone to drink this.
It was Akita sake, so they both said OK. 🙆♂️🙆♀️
The back of the bottle was Dodgers Blue 🫐, named after Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Fruity and easy to drink!
I drank it while remembering the no-hit, no-run game I once saw live during my Orix days 🍶.
By the way, I drank Midnight Blue two years ago at Sakemaru-san, and the one with black letters and blue letters seems to be the standard Midnight Blue.

Yamamoto after a long time. You can feel the sharpness that is unique to Akita sake. The umami is just right. The inscription on the back of this midnight blue sake reads, "In celebration of Yamamoto's great performance in this year's MLB World Series. What great timing for me to come across this. It makes me a little bit excited.

Yamamoto Pure Black❣️
Since there was no year-end party at work and only a New Year's party, we had a family year-end party ✌ on this day.
at our favorite neighborhood izakaya🏮.
Two beers and a lemon chuhai 🍋 before going to sake lol.
First up was Kuro Yamamoto ◼️
No need to explain.
Japanese sword sharpness🔪.
No, it's like Messi's dribbling ⚽️ at the peak of his career.
Kire kire kire 😁.
It goes well with both stewed motsu and fried oysters❤️

Good evening, T.KISO😄.
Year end party with family! Nice 👌Nice place ‼️ that has a decent selection of good sake even in izakaya 😆 Fried oysters, looks delicious 🤤.
Above all, it's nice to have a drinking party with your family 💓
Hi T.KISO 😃.
It's true! It's so sharp that if you're not careful, you might cut your finger off when pouring it ⁉️. ‼️ It's nice to have a family-friendly 🏮 pub nearby 🥹 We want a favorite too!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
I know it's only Akita sake, but it's good to know that you've got Yamamoto and the like under control 🎶.
The fried oysters were big and very tasty.
I'm T.KISO, I take care of my family 😁💕💕.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😄!
You're looking sharp, Mr. Yamamoto 😎✨.
It's a great izakaya that's only a few minutes walk away 🎶❣️ and the food is great too!

It's been a while since I've had my favorite Yamamoto-san ❤️ nigori, and I'm eagerly waiting for it, but I chose this one.
The taste is more like a classic but with a refreshing umami ➕ sweetness and a touch of alcohol. This one is great. The price and the taste are so good that I want to keep it on hand 🤤.

Akita Business Trip Spoils of War Part ⑭
Today we received Yamamoto Sake Brewery's Yamamoto Shuzo😋.
The aroma is mild yet fragrant😊Light on the palate, with a good balance of beautiful sweetness and moderate acidity 😚👍✨This is a delicious guy, just like Yamamoto-san, with a crisp and clean taste😍.
The fourth photo is my first drinking debut on the shinkansen going from Akita to Yokohama for an exam at the end of November. Chicken rice and one cup. Exams aside, it's nice to drink sake while eating ekiben from noon 😘.
When did he become Yamamoto? But it was delicious. It is an orthodox junmai in a good sense.
But I realized after drinking about half of it that it was indeed dry.
