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

The aroma is like adding blue fruits to the gentle aroma of rice, and the mouthfeel is very gentle and fresh in a way! This is a delicious and easy-to-drink product!

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...
