I tasted it during the New Year holidays. I thought it was arabashiri, but I mistakenly put shiboritate in it 🤣. It was fresh and easy to drink even though it was fired once.

Today, following yesterday's Aizan drinking event, I went to the Osaka Bay Tower's Japanese sake festival event 😀. I was informed in advance by bouken-san that there was a sake that Saku-san usually does not have, so I made a toast with his wife with that sake 😇. The sake was even clearer and fruity than Saku's usual sake, and we were very satisfied from the start 😀. During the live taiko performance by three women, my wife and I, who are both learning taiko, were overwhelmed by their amazing performance 😇. We were able to compare over 130 different types of sake, but my favorite was from Yamazaru, a brewery located in Asa, Yamaguchi Prefecture 😇. From the aroma to the mouthfeel, it was right up my alley👍! I had a chance to talk to the brewer and asked him about the stores in the Kansai area that carry it.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Aged Sake✨Snow❄️☃️ Aged sake, light yellow in color. Cold sake, matured, Daruma Masamune-like. Not heavy, warmed to 60 degrees. Soft around the edges. Mellow. ☺️ It's still a sake for warming up. I served it with scallop sashimi sent from my relatives in Hokkaido 😋The scallops were huge and delicious💕. Purchased at Iida Sake Shop @ Shiki.

Kansai Sake-no-Wa Sakai Off-line Meeting (8) The second bottle of sake brought by Yasube and Kaorin Koi no Anticipation is a new sake brewing rice from Yamaguchi Prefecture! I've wanted to try this one for a long time 😆. Everyone said it was so refreshing, like a white wine! When it's cold, everyone was like "where's the love in it? When heated up, it became more gentle and less sake-like and I had a feeling of love 🥰. I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and tension of YASUBE at this offline meeting 😊.

Good morning, bouken 😀 I'm very sorry for the trouble this has caused you 🙏. I've been envious of your bring-your-own-drink party for a while now and was excited to start choosing my drinks at home 🤣. I heard you haven't sent it to Kansai yet 😀.

Good evening, Mr. Yasube. No, no, I think you are drunk because you all seemed to be having a good time 😊. I knew it existed but I've never seen anyone bring it 🤔I've been curious about it for a while so I'm glad I got to drink it 😋.

Nice to meet you sake🍶. This sake is brewed using the Yamahai method, which concentrates the flavor and sharpness of the sake rice, Koriyanto. This sake is full-bodied, delicious, and spicy, and you can feel the arrival of the harvest season. Accompanied by fried gyoza

The 22nd Hankyu Brewery Festival (11) Yamazaru] booth. We met the president of the company in Osaka when Yasube and Orin were visiting the brewery 😁. Junmai Ginjo Omachi The wild flavor that I imagine Omachi to have, with a bit of a pineapple feel, is delicious. Junmai Ginjo Aizanaru Limited edition of 2000 bottles. Fruity, robust umami with a hint of sweetness. Not too much bitterness. It is also delicious 😋. Yamazaru Fruits This is an autumn-only brew. It is made with a rare sake rice called "kuriyako". It has a deep umami flavor and a sake-like quality to it. It is also suitable for heating up. Junmai Daiginjo Yamazaru The rice is made from Yamada-Nishiki from a contract farmer who is apparently 35 years old. The aroma was a bit unique to the nose, though it was easily recognizable and tasty. Yamazaru: Unrefined, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. This sake is also made with Koriyako. It has a complex, thick, rich flavor with a unique lactic acidity, and the aroma on the nose is also a bit peculiar.

Hello, Nemuchi-san 😀 I went to the brewery and was shocked to hear that the president and sales staff were all on a business trip to the Kansai area 🤣. However, the lady at the brewery was kind enough to offer me more than 10 kinds of sake for tasting and told me to drink as much as I wanted!

The 22nd Hankyu Brewery Festival ⑫ Yamazaru Booth Not Mr. Tsuchida, a well-known sales representative of Yonezuru, but Mr. Nagayama, the president of Yonezuru, was there. We drank Junmai Ginjo Omachi When I drank it at home, I thought it had a big change from the freshly opened bottle. I was impressed that Mr. Nemuchi said it was just like he imagined OMACHI to be! Junmai Ginjo Aizanaru Same impression as last year's Japanese sake festival, but gorgeous and fruity. Yamazaru Fruits From the label, it seems to be a hiyaoroshi type sake. The rice is from Koriyanto. Sake with a lot of umami and drinkable! Junmai Daiginjo It is gorgeous, full of umami, and delicious! Yamahai Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Yamahai is easy to drink. I've had it several times and it's still delicious!

Good evening, bouken! Just the day before yesterday, I visited Yamazaru's brewery and I was so disappointed to hear that the president is currently on a business trip to Kansai 🤣. But the brewery owner was very kind and allowed me to taste as much as I wanted 😇.

Yamaguchi Sake Festival on return to Shimonoseki ③. Visiting sake breweries on foot (7) On the second morning of my second day back home, I took the JR train to Asa in Sanyo Onoda City, which is next to Shimonoseki, and visited Nagayama Shuzo, the brewer of Yamazaru in Asa. When I told the owner that I was from Kansai, she told me that they were just now opening a store in Hanshin, Umeda, and that they were sending most of their sake products to the store... I was so surprised 🤣. Still, I asked my mom if she could recommend any sake that they don't send to Kansai as a souvenir for my sake-loving friend, and I got it 😀. Perhaps feeling sorry for me, my mom brought out more than 10 bottles of sake from the fridge and told me to pour as much sake as I wanted and drink it as much as I wanted 😇. They were all delicious, but I especially liked this Aizanzaru 😀. It's a mountain monkey brewed in Aizan, so it seems to be an Aizan monkey 🤣. I thought it was a refreshing, sharp and fruity drink, just as I expected from Aizan 😀. I heard that it is limited to 2000 bottles and they are sending it to Hanshin as well, so I will buy it again after I go back to Kansai 😀. With this, all the purposes of this trip home were successfully completed🙆 I will return to Osaka on the ferry that departs in the evening. ⛴️

Hello Yasube, 🐦. Your Yamaguchi Sake life is going well 😆 I was wondering about this brand! I think you are coming to the brewery festival, but since I can't make it this time, I enjoyed watching you 😆. Have a safe trip back with Kaorin 😊.

I've looked online and can't find much about it, but I'm wondering if it's a new product. It looks rare, so I bought it at Ikoma Sake Shop. It's not super sweet, but it's fruity. It has a firm umami flavor with a touch of Omachi character. If this were a draft sake, it would be very good. I felt it changed a lot as time passed after opening. It is more fruity when just opened.

Hi bouken 🐦. I love Yamaguchi sake, so I'm interested in this brewery too 😊Ikoma-san is really great! I can't go to the brewery festival this time, so if you go, please give us a report if you don't mind 🙏.

Hi bouken 😃 Actually, I'm going back to Shimonoseki, my parents' home this weekend and I was planning to visit Yamazaru's brewery 😀 I've never seen it before and I thought it was rare in Kansai. I've never seen it before and thought it was rare in Kansai, but I see you have it too 🤣.

Good evening, Pon-chan. The sales person of Yoneyama Tsuru, which Icoma-san handles, is also in charge of Yamazaru, so there seems to be a connection between the two 😊. Yamazaru is also coming to the brewery festival 😍I'm going to have a drink 😋.

Good evening, Mr. Yasube. There might be some sake that you can only buy at the brewery 😍. You don't see them except at department store tasting sales 🤔. I think there was a liquor store near Panasta in Suita that carries it 😊.

Good evening, bouken 😀 I'm on my way back to Shimonoseki 😀. I'm aiming to bring in some limited edition sake from a brewery for my next drinking party on this trip home, but I hope it's sake that bouken-san has never had 🤣.

Good morning, Yasubeyesan! If it's a limited edition sake from the brewery, I'm sure you've never had it before 😊 looking forward to it 😆.

⛰️🐵 I've always been curious about the mountain monkey🐒. Sake rice is Yamaguchi's grain Ryoto🌾. It has a hard taste and is thick. The acidity of the Yamahai also accents it ✨. It changes from cold to room temperature, It tastes great near room temperature even at this time of year 😋. This is one to buy if you can find it 🤣.

Is nigori rare in junmai daiginjo? I thought so, but I bought it, but I wonder if it is rare? Maybe because it is nigori, it has acidity even though it is a daiginjo, but it also has the drinkability of a daiginjo, so everyone may like it.
