Purchased at Kitakyushu Sake Shop Drive 2 months ago
Aiyamazaru I liked quite a bit at a sake event in Kitakyushu a few months ago.
This one is from the lot that came out after that event.
Cold sake.
The aroma is neither lactic nor fruity.
Shocking on the palate (I've had it once at an event...)
Dark mellow sweetness like chocolate 🍫.
Then, from the mid-palate, the aromatic taste increases and the aftertaste disappears quickly.
It's like eating an Alfort...
The two characteristics of "Aizan-ness" and "Yamazaru-ness" are more emphasized than the one I had before, but they are kept in good balance.
As the meal progresses, the "Yamazaru-ness" comes out, so it might be better to drink it by itself.

I opened a bottle of Nagayama Shuzo's Yamazaru Aizanazaru, which I purchased after visiting the brewery when I was back home in Shimonoseki in September 😀.
It is brewed with Aizan and is called "Ai Yamazaru" 🤣.
It tastes refreshing on the palate.
It tastes refreshing in the mouth, but the fruitiness comes through at the end, which is the opposite of the usual pattern, but it's a delicious sake 😀.
At the brewery, I was able to pour as much as I wanted and taste it, but I was able to experience the taste more by drinking it at home slowly 😀.
I hope you will have a chance to try this sake.

Good morning, Yasube 😃.
There are so many really good sake in Yamaguchi Prefecture, it's hard to keep your eyes open. ☺️
It would be great if you could go to the brewery and buy some directly and drink it at home 😊.

Hi, Pon 😀
Yamazaru is a sake that I like more and more every time I encounter it 😀.
When I was in my hometown, I was not interested in sake at all, so I never encountered it at all, which is a great pity now that I think about it 😅.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I have just learned about this sake brewery this year, and the sake and the brewery staff are very nice, so if you have a chance, please give them a try 😀.

Hi Aladdin 😀
It really does taste better when you talk directly to the brewery owner and bring home the sake 😀.
I'm looking forward to it again this week and next weekend as I'm planning to go on a walking tour of the breweries 😇.

ゆっけ
Slightly fruity and earthy? Smells like mushrooms.
With alcohol alone, I felt it was not quite enough, but when paired with snacks, it tasted good.
This time, I tried unsalted nuts and kimchi. It was better with a punchy flavor like kimchi.

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 😋.

いのしん
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.

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!

Hi Yasubeyesan, ☀☀☀ just reported to the president that a friend of mine was at the brewery and was told that most of the sake had been sent to Osaka 🤣The president was kind and the lady at the brewery was kind too, it's a nice brewery 😆.

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!

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, 🐦.

Have a safe trip back with Kaorin 😊.
