Yamaguchi Prefecture
Yamahai brewed unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 17%.
Although it is a Yamahai sake, it has a good sweetness and is easy to drink in spite of its alcohol content.
It is delicious with a full rice flavor and umami.
I was informed on Facebook that the head brewer died suddenly at the end of last month,
I had to drink it for the last time,
I drank the same hiyaoroshi two years ago,
Unlike two years ago, there is no fizziness,
Unlike two years ago, there is no fizziness, but the spiciness is felt first, and the umami is hidden,
Yes, it's delicious,
Yes, it is delicious.
As it gets to room temperature, it starts to feel a little alcoholic, but it is good to be able to enjoy the change in taste while drinking.
You must try the sake made by a different master brewer.
Good luck, Yamazaru!
And again,
The autumn beer was Sapporo's autumn harvest beer.
It tasted strong and bitter for a Sapporo beer.
Yamazaru's sake is
What is it about Yamazaru's sake that makes it so clear and tasty? What's more, Yamazaru's sake tastes so clear and delicious no matter what you drink.
And it's Yamahai!
To be honest, it doesn't taste like that.
You have to be a proactive drinker 💦💦.

This is my first sake. It is made from rice called Koku Ryou Miyako, which has been my personal focus recently.
I feel that Koku Ryoto has a slightly rustic flavor, and perhaps because of the character for "grain" in its name, it has a graininess to it. It also reminds me of sweet potatoes and chestnuts. I bought it to answer this question.
The first sip after opening the bottle.
It is strong and mellow. It is sweet and spicy, and very drinkable. It also has a graininess that is characteristic (I think) of Koriyanto, or a rustic feel, in a good way.
It is best served at room temperature or lukewarm.
The sweetness is too strong, so it might be better if it were a little less sweet.

Purchased at a liquor store.
Yamazaru, which I had drunk once before. I had an image that the standard Yamahai Nama Sake had a strong acidity, but this time it was a summer sake.
The rarity may be a little high depending on the area.
Drink it cold.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
It has the sharpness and light dryness characteristic of Gohyakumangoku, with a hint of sweetness unique to sake from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The aftertaste is normal.
Fruity summer sake is good, but crisp and refreshing summer sake is also good.
It is better to drink it with food than by itself, not only with light summer vegetable dishes, but also with stamina food.
This sake can be enjoyed by intermediate level sake drinkers.
Dark and sweet. At best, it is unique, at worst, it has its own quirks. I drank it with grilled white eel, and it goes well with this kind of oily food. It is not in the middle of my personal strike zone, but it is definitely delicious.
