Today I bought my first ㊗️ Yamama-sama, so I'll start the party in the evening. ‼️ Hurry up Kakugami Gyorui🍣!
When I drank Oroku at the beginning of the year, Mr. Jive told me that squid would go well with it 🤔I'll buy some squid nigiri and compare them with the rest of Oroku and Yamama 😍I came home and hurriedly prepared my usual menu 🥂Kanbai 🎉.
Comparing Yamama and Oroku is fateful✨Both are delicious sakes with an exquisite bitterness characterized by minerality. Yamama has a more subtle sweet aroma and flavor, and the bitterness gives it a nice kick 😋.
The pairing is similar, but with or without the sweetness ✨.
Nice pairing with squid to dispel the mismatch with fish and shellfish when we drank Ohroku the day before yesterday ❤️😍I see, it's a pairing from the Sea of Japan ‼️
Yamama has a wider range of pairings: ajijo, salad, sweet root vegetables, and today's sweet potato with cream cheese goes better than the Ohroku 🥰 I'm so happy!
I think I read an article about a recent boom in bitterness in the sake boom, which continued from dry and light to sweet and fruity. I wonder if it is just a boom of bitterness in my house 🤣🤣.
I'm shinsake3 for the impressions of the sake alone 💕.

Good evening, Pheho😄Today's drinking and pairing compatibility game is ‼️ I've learned quite a bit 📚 how to match dry and sweet dishes. Depending on the food, the taste of the sake will change as well☝️I'm not going to get into the bitterness craze, so I'm still waiting 💦.

Hi Pekho 😃
Congrats on your first mountainous area ㊗️ 🎉!
We like squid too and often have nigiri as a snack 😋 Well, our versatile tongue (or as we often say 🤣) will always come back to "旨い😙" 😅.

Overall 9 (out of 10)
Let me copy Jay & Nobby's "I've Never Drank Series" ❣️
This sake caught my eye at a liquor store I frequent.
I was attracted to it by the advertising of "juicy, umakuchi Yamama, which is not like Niigata sake".
I was attracted by the advertisement "Juicy and delicious, not like Niigata sake" and bought it!
I tried it right away!
It's delicious!
When I think of Niigata sake, I always think of it as
I have an image that it is clear and dry.
but it certainly has a juicy and umami taste.
It is true that it has a juicy and umami taste, but
but the image is added to the spiciness and transparency.
It is a solid impression of Niigata sake 😅.
p.s. I went to Ikebukuro Sake Brewery yesterday, 3/28.
Yesterday, 3/28, I went to a liquor store in Ikebukuro to buy some Oroku, which had impressed me for a long time, but I couldn't find Oroku there, instead there was a sign saying "temporarily closed as of 3/27". 😫😭
I had it chilled.

shinsaku3, good evening😄Yamama, I remember when I went to Niigata, the liquor store recommended it to me: ❣️ I bought Murayu at that time, so I gave up on Yamama 😭Oh Luk👑, I didn't realize that the liquor store is temporarily closed...sad 🥹.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
Yamama, juicy and delicious! It is my favorite brand. I also feel that the base is Niigata sake, so you are right, it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is not like Niigata sake 💧 (laughs).

Good morning shinsaku3😃!
Congratulations to Yamama for your first drink challenge ㊗️ 🎉We also had it for the first time last year, but that one was pretty sweet 😅I think the next one will be Oni Yamama 👹 🤔🤗.

Good evening, hinahana mama 😃.
I just noticed Yamama-san, but it must be a pretty major sake if a local liquor store recommends it to you 😃.
Sorry to hear about Oroku.... 😢.
I'll have to find another dealer 👀.

Good evening FSB 😃.
Thank you 😊
I agree 😃.
It is indeed juicy, but the foundation feels like a delicious Niigata sake 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It was a delicious sake and I was browsing the brewery's website and it caught my eye, Oni Yamama 👹.
And there are red, blue and yellow 😮.
I'm curious - I'd like to try them all 😅.

When I visited a famous liquor store, I happened to see the brand introduced in a video and bought it without a second thought. I was in Joetsu, Niigata, and the name is Yamama.
But that aside, here we go! It has a very pleasant aroma, almost rose-like in its gorgeousness. After the smooth and unctuous brewing water, the sake has a refreshing acidity, which is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, and a lot of umami, making it a calm sake. The end result is an easy-drinking sake with a sharpness that is typical of Echigo-Tsumari. My mother, who drank it with me, also highly praised Yamama, so please give it a try. Thank you again for your hospitality this evening!

This nigorizake is made by pumping out the fermenting unrefined sake and bottling it immediately after rough straining.
It has a rich, creamy flavor with a freshness that makes an impact.

Yanma純米吟醸 中取り直詰 無濾過生原酒
あわてぃー
This is the first time I drink Yamama at home.
Since it was so special, I had it in a glass for ginjo.
It has a gorgeous sweet aroma, but when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness is more subdued and elegant than you might expect.
The mild sweetness is accompanied by a slight bitterness, and the wine has a good sharpness, making it a perfect match for meals.
I would like to pair it with Japanese food that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients, which is a special feature of this time of year.

Yanma特別純米 活性にごり 生酒 ORI ORI ROCK
Hori
We received Ori-Ori Rock in the mountains.
I had been curious about this sake for a long time, but could not find it, so I finally had a chance to try it.
This sake is made by Niigata Daiichi Sake Brewery, and is called Yamama (山間) to compete with Kubota (久保田), a major sake brewer in Niigata. It makes sense that in addition to Yamama, there is also Yamabo and Maabo.
Ori-Ori Rock is an active nigori sake, also known as an explosive type, among the Yamama brands. Although not shown in the photo, there was a warning on the colored necklace that said to be careful when opening the bottle and to use an ice pick to vent the bottle before opening it.
I opened the bottle normally over a bowl while it was cooled to below zero, just to be sure, because if I punctured the stopper, I would have to drink it all. Although gas blew out, the bottle did not overflow and I was able to open it safely.
The top clearings tasted bitter and grapefruit-like. When cloudy, the graininess of the rice is strongly felt and it is just like drinking rice juice. The taste was clean and crisp with a strong sense of gas, and I couldn't help but drink more than half of the bottle because it was so easy to drink without feeling the 17% alcohol content.

The kind that has a strong acidity followed by a delicious taste.
I can't tell if it's starchy or not, but it's a very tart acidity.
I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding what would go well with the food I ordered, but it's so good that I end up drinking it while I'm still wondering!

I thought, "Well, it's not that bad," and I put it off.
I was putting it off because I thought
But it was so delicious!
And I heard that the owner wanted us to drink it.
Thank you!

Hmmm...yes, indeed it is. It has a nice, mellow umami flavor 😊.
It's getting a little warmer, so I started walking to work 🚶 again yesterday.
Maybe that's why the sake tastes so good.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
The kicker is that my health checkup was catching every year and I was threatened with a tablet interview, so I walked for an hour every day to try it out and the next year I was fine: ✌️
