Sorry, I'm Sabo 🌵...
I've been drinking slowly for many years, but this is my first brand...
I'm in trouble now that I know this 😃.
I came to Nagano prefecture for personal reasons.
The master of a local liquor store recommended this one!
It seems this is the main brand that is available in the prefecture!
Ginjo aroma, bitterness, slight effervescence, and the price!
It's just superb! ‼️
I was fooled into thinking I was in love with it...lol!
Tonight, another brand from this brewery that I enjoyed very much the first time I drank it the other day: 💁♂️
Yamazan Junmai Daiginjyo Yamae-Nishiki 40%5% light nigori
2023BY✨✨✨✨
Following Hitogokochiki, this is a light nigori Yamae Nishiki.
When you open the bottle, it seems to be gassy. The aroma is quite mild and herbal 🌿 A sip and you can feel the chilli gas on the tip of the tongue, but there is a strong attack of fruit sweetness (dark cherry, orange, grapefruit, white peach) and it is so easy to drink and delicious with a fullness like a juice 😋😋😋😋.
The finish is bitter and crisp, as is typical of Yamae Nishiki 🙌.
Nagano Purchased at a liquor store
Purchased during a solo trip to Nagano 💰.
I've had the Yamazan series before, but this is the first time I'm buying it 🍶Nice to meet the Yamazan Sake Brewery 🎉.
Yamasan doesn't have any stores in Niigata that carry it either...or I don't think I've ever seen Nagano sake in Niigata? Maybe only wine places?
I was especially interested in this Yamane-Nishiki - Hitogokochi 🌾The first two that come to mind when I think of Nagano sake rice personally!
That's a good thing I'm interested in it 😊.
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it tastes great😊.
The mouthfeel is soft and refreshing with a slight sweet umami 🤔I personally love this kind of taste 🥰.
I can't help but think it has a similar sweetness to Yamaye Nishiki, a sake brewery I drink a lot: ☺️
That's because I like it 😊.
I liked it enough to buy it if I see it again😃This is delicious 😋.
Thanks for the treat 😋.
Floral yet chic taste
Not too strong in terms of the original sake, only the best parts can be tasted.
You can taste the best part of it.
Acidity, umami, and a beautiful aftertaste.
It is a good sake.
Hi Pon 😃.
It was a bullet, but I carried a cooler box.
But it was a long way 😅.
It's the best luxury to drink at home with sake that we can't buy over here.
I love drinking at home with sake that you can't buy over here 😅
You can feel the mellow rice flavor that makes it hard to believe it's a daiginjo...Yamazan is good with all the different rice varieties, but this one is exceptionally delicious 😆.
Yamazan, Dashimaki and Yakitori
Yamazan is delicious! I love Nagano sake!
It is the same sake as Shinshu Kamerei from Ueda.
I'll have to check out Yamasan when I go to Ueda!

Jun Dai Yamae Nishiki
It has a nice gassy feeling. It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of Shogou blow up. It is easy to drink and has a sweet, acidic, and elegant aroma. The umami is moderate. The sweetness is good and the gasiness is nice. The aroma is a little silverish and not too sweet. 88 points
Sweetness: 2.6
Acidity: 2.8
Hinted aroma: 2.6
Dryness: 2.4
I've always wanted to try Nagano sake 🍶 sake brewed with Hitogokochi from Nagano Prefecture...the aroma is subtle...sweet and bitter on the palate with a good bitter aftertaste...you can taste the delicious rice flavor 😋...delicious 😋...seasonal bonito. Bonito. I'm enjoying it with sashimi of bonito, isaki, and swordfish. .... I'm enjoying it...
This is your first Yamazan, Ueda sake.
It is totally different from the Kaze no Mori Alphadry that I had enjoyed until just before.
The stimulation on the tip of the tongue, the sweet mouthfeel when you swallow it, and the bitterness and pungency come right away. I can smell the oak aroma. In general, it is a very powerful sake. The acidity is weak in contrast to the alpha.
Sweet and floral ginjo aroma
Sweetness slightly reminiscent of melon
Transparent taste with a hint of bitterness and depth
Gentle effervescence and crispness.
It is very tasty and has a good balance.
On the second day, the fizziness fades a little and the richness and juiciness
and the rich juiciness is more pronounced.
Rice: 100% Yamae-Nishiki grown in Yaehara, Tomi City, Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 45
Master brewer: Yuki Kurihara
Alcohol content: 15
First of all, the top is fresh and brisk, with a slight shrieking sensation. A little spicy, too, which is something I haven't had much of before. Delicious. Mixing in the corkage adds roundness and depth to the taste.
