Yamamoto Shuzoten's test brew sake
Yamamoto test brew sake Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo
This is a rare product that one can only hope for: undisclosed yeast x Ichihodzumi.
Ichihodzumi is made from Niigata Sake No. 72 (Koshitanrei),
ICHIHOZUMI has "Niigata Sake No. 72 (Koshitanrei)" as its mother and "Akita Sake No. 77 (Akita Sake Komachi)" as its father.
Indigo Blue" made with Ippozumi was released the year before last. The year before last, the brewery released "Indigo Blue" using Ippozumi, which had a low succinic acid content.
Succinic acid is a flavor component found in shellfish,
Succinic acid is a tasty ingredient found in shellfish, but at the same time, it is the source of bitterness.
The aroma is a bit floral, the mouthfeel is clean, and there is a good balance between the umami and the umami that can be felt well, resulting in a gem with a sharp taste typical of Yamamoto.

Melon🍈Killer, dry. Sweet and bitter. When I served it with a rough boiled rockfish, the melon softens and the spiciness rises, making it delicious 😋. Delicious.

Yamamoto has an impressive pink label.
Nice aroma!
The softness of the light nigori, the acidity, and the bitterness of the aftertaste were nice.
Delicious!

At Sakelabo Tokyo 😊.
I ordered a dry sake because all I had were fruity ones 🤔.
It was dry but not that harsh, easy to drink and delicious 😊.
The end of the fiscal year is a busy time for many things.
This week I am feeling tired.
I want to drink a sweet drink.
So, here is my first sake from a new brewery!
Yamamoto Sake Brewery's Yamamoto!
This time it's their 123rd anniversary sake!
I love kijoshu, but was it a good choice for my first sake from a brewery? I am still a little skeptical..,
But, let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It has a fresh citrusy sweet aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it is refreshingly sweet!
The lingering aftertaste is refreshing, so it seems a little less like a kijo-zake.
The slight bitterness and fruity flavor that comes on top of it also contribute to its freshness.
It was a delicious sake that soaked into my tired body.
The second day
It's sweet and fruity again today!
The sweetness is even more pronounced than yesterday, but the fruity taste and the smooth mouthfeel make it very tasty and not too sweet.
Today's taste is just sweet and fruity with almost no bitterness.
3rd day
Gentle sweetness.
The fruity taste is a little weaker, but the beautiful sweetness sinks in.
It has become a sake to just enjoy the sweetness without the bitterness.
It was my first time to taste Yamamoto's sake, but it was so delicious that I would like to try their regular sake next time!
Good evening, ma-ki-San🌛Congratulations on your first yamamoto🥳It sure has been a busy week🥴Sweet kijoshu sounds good for such a time🍶and 123 is perfect for the time of year too ☺️
Good evening, ma-ki-chan ^_^
You drank some great sake to celebrate your 123rd anniversary✨.
But I also understand that your first sake was a kijoshu? I can see why 😁.
I'm wondering if I should buy a test brew of Yamamoto tomorrow 🤔.
Good evening, ma-ki-San😄.
Congratulations on your first Yamamoto: ㊗️
123 years anniversary is awesome 😳It's a very historic brewery 🥰and also great that it started with kijoshu! The fruity sweetness of the kijoshu😍 sounds very delicious💕.
Hi, ma-ki-chan 😀
When you are tired, a sweet sake really soaks into your body and soul 😇.
But I don't have the courage to try kijoshu after reading your comments on sakewa🤣.
I'm sure you will enjoy it too 😀.
Thanks for your comment Nao888!
It's a bit of a flurry after all 💧.
It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of kijoshu, but it really soaked into my heart 😋.
It was a bottle I was happy to drink 😊.
Thanks for your comment Manta!
I saw it on Sake no Wa and happened to see it at a liquor store so I didn't hesitate to get it ✨.
I see that Manta-san is aiming for the Yamamoto-san test brew 🎵.
Looking forward to your review 😊.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
It's amazing how long it's been around 😲.
And as for the sake, I was very impressed with the taste of the sake 😋.
It's been a long time since I've had a good cup of kijoshu and I was very satisfied with it 😊.
Thanks for your comment Yasbay!
I was so tired 💧 of the sweetness 😋, so the taste soaked into the depths of my soul 😋.
I think the kijoshu is really delicious and I hope you will try it sometime in the fullness of time 😊.
Hi ma-ki-, 😊surprisingly, it was your first time in Yamamoto 😳something sweet for a tired body...I understand 😊your body craves it 😁I hope you will relieve your fatigue well 😁.
Thank you for your comment Kano!
I've been watching Yamamoto-san a lot, but I've never been able to meet him in person, so this is finally my debut 😁✨.
When you are tired, you want something sweet 😋.
Thanks to you, I was healed well 😊.
The aroma is fresh green apple.
The taste is soft rice-derived sweetness and fruity.
It has a pleasant sharpness that finishes off the taste, so you will never get tired of drinking it.
Unlike the original Yamamoto, which is characterized by its acidity, the acidity is kept to a minimum.

Yamahai Junmai brewed in barrels made from over 200 year old Akita cedar trees
Beautiful wooden label
Kyokai No.1 yeast?
I looked it up and it seems to be a revived strain of Kyokai No.1 yeast.
The sweetness and acidity of today's sake with the freshness of the cedar barrels.
The fact that it doesn't get heavy is typical of Yamamoto.
It's also nice that it's Miyamanishiki!
At Sumiyoshi
I'm in tired mode this week and have a few mouths to feed. m(__)m
Smooth and round mouthfeel.
It has a slight citrus nuance.
At first, it has a strong sweet flavor,
After a little while, a gentle acidity seems to harmonize with the sweetness.
Gentle decay.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
