I bought it at ●Maya because I had a good impression of it when I tasted it at Hankyu in the past and at a Japanese sake festival.
The rice used is 100% rare grain Ryoto.
The initial aroma is banana-like. When you put it in your mouth, there is a momentary sweetness followed by bitterness. Then comes acidity and umami, but the aftertaste is short. It is totally different from the impression I had at Japanese sake festivals and department store tastings....
I feel uncomfortable with the top aroma and the flavor in my mouth.
Is it a disinfectant-like off-flavor?
I'm sorry but I can't drink all of this 😢...
I feel like I have a high encounter rate with off flavors 🤔.
I have no doubt that this is an inherently delicious drink, so please don't go through my review 🙏.

Good morning, bouken😄.
Sorry to hear that 😢I'm glad you don't hate this drink itself because you know its original taste 😌.
Sensory evaluation of alcohol is affected by many factors, so it's hard to pinpoint the cause 🤔.

Hi Aladdin 😃
I know some people don't mind it, but I can't myself when it has an aroma that food doesn't have 😥.
I will transfer it to a small bottle and see how it goes, but the rest will go to cooking wine 🙄.

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ①.
■Nagayama Shuzo / "Yamazaru" Yamaguchi Pref.
I participated in the Japanese Sake Festival with legendary bouken-san.
We tasted some sake at the "Yamazaru" booth, which was not crowded, because we wanted to start without a line.
We offered a toast to the toji, Mr. Gentaro Nagayama, who passed away suddenly in August at the young age of 31.
Yamazaru" is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
It is made from "Kokuyako," a fantastic rice produced in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
I like it because it has a strong umami flavor.
Junmai Ginjo Aiyamazaru
This is the last brewing of Aizan and the first brewing of Aizan. The yeast used is 1901, which Toji Gentaro loved very much. It is sweet and gorgeous. We took our time to savor it.
It is a difficult time, but it seems that the next toji will be Mr. Inose, who graduated from the same agricultural university as the late Mr. Gentaro and has been brewing sake with him for a long time.

Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower
There was a heated sake corner, so I stayed!
It's a very undiluted sake, so it has a very ripe aroma.
It has a rich, mellow flavor with a hint of sweetness.
The pamphlet says it has a multicolored taste!
I have a vague idea of what it is!

The 6th Japanese Sake Festival @ Osaka Bay Tower ①.
I was invited by Nemuchi-san to attend the Japanese Sake Festival!
We arrived just before the festival started due to some confusion💦.
Sorry about that 🙏.
I haven't been to Bay Tower since I went to Pools here in high school 😅It was called ORC200 back then 🙄.
First we went to Yamazaru.
I drank
Yamahai unfiltered raw sake
The rice used was rare Koriyanto. It has an impressive acidity and sweetness. It is sold at Yamaya and sometimes at department stores, so I will buy it next time.
Ai Yamazaru Junmai Ginjo
Gorgeous and fruity. It is also better than I expected.
The toji passed away suddenly, and he said that this Aizan was his last sake.
He was the youngest toji in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and he was only about 30 years old...

[Place of purchase]? (Souvenir)
This sake was brewed by bringing "Gohyakumangoku" sake rice from Fukushima to Nagayama Shuzo in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
It has a sweet aroma, but not at all sweet, with a sour and sharp taste. A significant bitterness comes later.
Rating: B+
