What do you call this lingering feeling?
I wondered what this lingering feeling is called,
I see, this is what you call bitterness...
I finally understood it, even though I have a stupid tongue and no vocabulary.
I did not feel this bitterness when I paired it with the entrée
I did not feel this bitterness when I served it with the entrée, and it was very tasty.

It was the second day of drinking at my parents' house and my mother said she wanted to eat yakitori today! I bought a bottle of sake because they didn't have a four-pack 💸💸💸💸.
But I'm so glad I chose it!
Aizan's unique sweetness and umami, and a nice acidity. It's so pichiswa. I could drink this all the time 😍Yamasan, you're a bad guy!
How is everyone spending GW?
We will have this tonight.
It has a gentle taste. The flavor spreads quickly and the aftertaste is refreshing. It is delicious.

Yamasan⛰️⛰️⛰️
I had this one last year ✨.
The color of the bottle is different!
Mouth-filling sweetness and a bit of bitterness in the second half.
A little bit of bitterness in the second half 😋.
Vitalist 🍺.
The bitterness spreads and tastes good 🤩.
Bitterness is important in both sake and beer 😊.
I have been curious about this for a long time as I have seen it posted by many of you in the Sakegawa area recently. I checked Yamazan's website to see which liquor stores carried it and got it at the second liquor store 🤗.
It is a daiginjo, but the aroma is relatively mild. I really like the sweet tropical and juicy aroma reminiscent of peaches, mangoes, and pears. I like the slightly shrizzled gasiness, sweetness and beautiful acidity! It was a delicious sake with a nice shwashy carbonation and a little bitterness 😁I must try another series of this one👍!
Good evening, Zuoton!
I'm really curious to see all the great reviews in the sakekawa area 😁.
I finally got my first one the other day, and I was torn between this one and Aizan, but I decided to go with Aizan, and this one looks delicious too 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki! I see you drank Aizan! I'm so jealous 😍It was really worth getting inspired by your wonderful review. Thank you for the sake crocodile!
When I heard about Yamazan's new product, I ran to the liquor store.
The aroma is mellow, rummy, and sour.
When you take a sip, you get a fresh chili with a thick mouthfeel. It has a rich umami flavor, but it remains light and has a full-bodied sourness on the side of the tongue, and the end is crisp and clean.
This is an amazing sake that establishes all of the following: dark sweet umami, juicy, fresh and light!
As the temperature rises, a soft sweet aroma also emerges and the flavor seems to increase in gentle sweetness. The freshness remains the same.
As the day goes by, the chirichiri-ness settles down and the sweetness and sourness of the rice is concentrated.
Not only the sweetness, but also the overall flavor is concentrated, so it becomes more intense without losing its balance.
But it is still refreshing. It's amazing.
I wrote a lot about it, but it was just delicious 🍶.
Good morning, Kotaro!
The Yamazan Aizan looks delicious 😋.
I also got this one the other day at my first Yamasan, and after reading your review, I'm looking forward to drinking it more and more 😊.
Hi Kotaro 😃.
I saw this one at the liquor store last weekend, but we 😅 often don't like Aizan 😅 I passed on it 🥲I read your review and wish I had brought it along 😩 😑 😑.
Kotaro-san ❤️ I also got the San San Aisan - ‼️ it's delicious 😋 the flavor changes a little bit each day, yes, it's like it gets darker 👍I have some left so I will enjoy it again tonight to compare it with other sakes 🥰.
Good evening, ma-ki.
Oh, congratulations on getting your first mountain san 😆🎉It was very tasty here🎶I think you like it sweeter, but I think it's perfect 👍I'm looking forward to your review 🥳.
Hi Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌙.
I often don't like Aisan too much, I thought hmmm 🤔, but I was right to buy it with San San Dashi ‼️ 🙌 It's sweet but refreshingly refreshing and delicious, so if you come across it next time, please do 🥳.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho!
I read your review of the comparison 😆I like all the Yamazan sakes, but the Aizan is the best 😆I love the light, fresh and rich taste 🤤I'm jealous of your comparison with other sakes too 🥳.
I have been drinking Yamazan in a row recently, but this light nigori is my favorite. The milky aroma, gaseous taste and slight bitterness are good. It is a pure Dai but has a good cost performance.
Ummm...yummy!
It is moderately gassy.
When the cork is opened, the aroma is gorgeous.
It is a little bit thick, but it is a daiginjo, so it is very refreshing.
At the end, there is a hint of bitterness.
It's so good!
🥰
bon voyage
It's the usual Nagano.
It is the usual standing bar.
The usual,,, I found the word "Aisan" instead of Yamazan, so I ask for it 💕
They had a little bit of nigori Yamae-nishiki (no longer on the menu, but the regulars are the best 😆 ) and we compared the two. Unusually, there was a customer in front of us and he had just opened the bottle.
The carbonic acidity is exquisite!
Sweet!
And a slight bitterness at the end!
It is typical of Aizan!
But it still feels young.
The Yamae Nishiki nigori I drank in comparison was more subdued. So happy😍!
We had more Aizan. It's expensive for the menu here, but it seems there are only a few bottles and I probably won't be able to buy it, and if I drink it in Tokyo it will be even more expensive, so I wanted to drink it without worrying about it.
I wanted to buy it 🤣.
It went well with kogomi and butterbur sprouts tempura.
I also drank Meikyojo-Tomizumi.
To be continued.
Good morning, Ane-san😄
You can enjoy the Aizan from Yamazan and experience the difference in rice, a luxury only that restaurant can offer 😆 ‼️ is the best 😆.
Hi Ane 😃
Yamasan, I recently had my first drink and it was amazingly delicious, I think I'm going to get hooked 😍Aisan ❤️ also looks delicious ‼️ is hard to find, but I'd love to try Aisan one day 💕.
Good evening, Ane-san!
Thanks for your usual hard work in Nagano🍀.
I'm jealous of your Yamasan drinking comparison 🎵.
But I got the Yamasan Aizan yesterday and I'm looking forward to drinking it since I heard it's a delicious sake that Ane-san wants to buy 😋.
Good morning, Hiro 😁.
I thought it was too good for the first drink, so I had no choice but to order it when you said it was "freshly opened"! I'm very satisfied 😊.
Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
Thank you for the great information. I am glad you could drink it. I heard that this is the first time you use rice from outside the prefecture. Oh, I totally forgot to say the incantation 😅.
The love for Yamasan never stops: ‼️
When I saw the announcement of the restocking of Jun Dai Yamane Nishiki, I immediately bought it ❗️
Unexpectedly, we compared Aizan ♥️ and Yamane Nishiki 🩷 with Yamasan Jundai 😃.
I already know it's delicious from the start 🩷vs.
♥️ at its peak after the bottle was opened and the hardness had been loosened.
The 🩷 is 45% polished Yamae-Nishiki, 15% alc.
The plastic cover is removed and the crown is opened.
The opening sound is the same as the last time, f... ♫
The white smoke rises and it's exciting ☺️
Inside the glass is a micro bubble in no time 🫧.
The difference between pic4 and ♥️ is obvious!
The upper aroma is muscat - green apple 🍏.
Nice aroma 🥰.
The 🩷 is the impression of dry cider as before
Fresh acidity with a touch of gas and just the right amount of sweetness is exquisite 😍.
Just the right amount of sweetness is exquisite 😍.
The last one is a bit bitter and sharp.
It's so good I want to keep drinking it, but since we have Aizan ♥️, I'd like to compare!
It's been 6 days since I opened the bottle of ♥️ and it's still gassy 👏.
The taste has changed to sweetness of honey apple.
The impression of acidity, which was strong at first, is now apricot-like.
The bitterness in the last part is still the same.
If you go back to ♥️, you will find that it seems "thinner"... (♥️ is a monster 🙂↕️)
I'm not sure which review I'm referring to.
Yamae Nishiki if you want to drink it right away
Aizan is definitely better if you drink it slowly
So which one is it?
You should buy both ‼️
Good evening, ymdaz!
This is an enviable drinking experience 🤩Thanks for the very informative review 🤩I'm even more eager to drink Aizan ❤️ 👍I'd love to get some ‼️ but there's no distributor near me 😱.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I could understand more clearly the characteristics of Aisan ♥️ after comparing the drinks 🥹.
I wish there were more Yamazan dealers 🙂.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
You'll love ♥️🩷's pure large pair, you'll love it~!
When I went to buy 🩷, I was so dizzy with all the ♥️🩷 of one bottle in the store. 😵💫
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
This sake is brewed by a female toji.
In my opinion, it is in the same group as Iraka and Kaze no Mori.
It has a good balance and depth that I never get tired of, and I like its woody aroma, which can be enjoyed with a meal or on its own. I like sweet and tasty sake, but I also like well-balanced sake like this.
It is slightly mellower than Iraka and Kaze no Mori.
I wanted Aizan and bought San San Aizan because I had drunk all the OHMINE 3 Grain Aizan.
It is a spot brew. I had no hesitation in picking it up because I would not be able to drink it if I missed this opportunity.
The rice used was 100% Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 45
Alcohol level is 16 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, there is a pleasant popping sound.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is slightly sweet and sour like strawberry.
Taking a sip, you can feel the round mouthfeel and minerality. It is soft anyway.
In the mouth, one senses a rich, torrid sake quality, and the round acidity spreads softly.
The acidity is harmonized well with the minerality and strawberry fruitiness to compose the flavor.
The acidity quickly disappears, leaving a lingering sweetness.
It is easy to drink, but also very drinkable, and the sharpness of the acidity will keep you coming back for more. Aizan is delicious 🍶.
We welcomed the purple Kinmon-nishiki and silver Hitogochi 🥰 that we had been saving a little for this occasion, and the rare Aizan Daiginjo, which was a little late, but we were able to align and compare 🎉.
Aichi strawberries and cream cheese, mekabu, pork shabu and levanilla. For the main course, we had sea bream that was on sale at a discount, so we carefully prepared a bouillabaisse and added shrimp to make a risotto and welcomed three bottles 😍.
The Aizan is the most delicious of the three 😋 The flavor and aroma of the rice is mellow, which you can tell when you compare the two. The aroma and flavor of the rice is mellow, which is evident when comparing the two wines.
The purple Kinmonnishiki was astringent, while the silver stood out for its bitterness and spiciness. Even though it is aerated, the fresh sweet aroma seems to be gone since it has been aged for a while.
Huh? What is the difference between bitterness and astringency? I think, it's hard to describe in words💦, but all three bottles had an exquisite sweet and bitter taste that carried through and I ended up drinking too much 🥰.
Impressions of the alcoholic beverages by themselves are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Mr. Pekho😄
This is a very rare and luxurious drinking comparison of Yamazan‼️ This is a very rare and luxurious drinking comparison😍Aizan is the top 😍I guess so❤️ I guess so❣️ GW, don't you get into the spirit of drinking at home? Is it just me?
HinaHanaMama🥰Good evening‼️GWI'm of course in the mood for drinking at home 🩷I'm still with you❣️Luxury in the light of day 🤭Travel is nice, but luxury at home is really luxury💖I'd love to do something I can't do normally😍
Hi Pekho 😃
Bitter and astringent... I understand but it's hard to describe 😅we find Aizan a bit... too rich 🤔but when we match it with a meal, the bitterness disappears! It's really interesting but difficult to describe 😇
Jay & Nobby😍Good evening ‼️It's hard to put into words. Sometimes it's fun because there are so many different ways to describe it and everyone is different 💕Aiyama is certainly dark 😍The Miyamanishiki I had today was light and pale ✨.
Overall 10 (out of 10)
I have been a fan of Yama-san ever since a colleague of mine gave it to me 😃.
This time I had the Aizan 😃.
I also enjoyed the other brands that were left over!
It's delicious ❣️😋
The moment you put it in your mouth, the sweet and delicious taste spreads!
The most fruity of the three!
It is followed by a refined, tangy taste, and then disappears, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The purple Kinmon-nishiki is slightly less sweet and tasty, with a mild bitterness that follows in the latter half of the bottle.
And it has a nice sharpness.
Hitokochochi Silver
The first half is the same as Kinmon-nishiki, and the second half is a slight spiciness without any peculiarity.
That is my impression 😋.
Everyone can't stop sipping 👍
It was served chilled!

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I envy you because I don't think it's easy to compare Yamazan drinks 😆 I only drink light pink 🩷 but I'm addicted to Yamazan ‼️ I'm curious about Aizan ❤️ I hope I'll be lucky enough to meet you ❣️
Hi shinsaku3 😃
I'm a member of the "Yamasan Sanzanbon" group! I just thought of the melody of "Aisansan" 😌 what the heck 😅.
I hope you will try the green label too 🤗.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Thank you 😊
Yamazan, I didn't know about this sake, so I'm glad I got to know about it by chance 😃.
We'll try to go for a different brand too 😎.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I'm looking for a new website called "Yama - ♩-san and - ⤴︎ ♫"
I guess it's like this 😅.
I think I know what you mean😁.
I love Ai Chan Chan too 😊.
I see you have a green label 🤩.
I'll try to get it 😎.
Good evening, shinsaku3!
I haven't tasted all 3 bottles yet, so I'm very jealous of this drinking comparison 😻and Aizan is ❣️
It's hard to narrow it down to just one because they all look so good 💦.
First experience with Yamazan, which I had longed for!
The mouthfeel is relatively refreshing.
But it is full of umami and has a good sharpness!
This is the most well-balanced sake I've ever tasted and I'm hooked☺.
Oh, this is delicious!
Before I know it, I'm drinking too much!
I have a feeling that the sweetness will increase on the second day...
Ueda's sake is really great!
Spring Aishan 💖 festival desu.
Aroma is slight white grape
Al feeling tangy and very slight gasiness 🫧.
With moderate sweetness, moderate acidity and miscellaneous flavors,
I felt even more balanced after some time.
The sharpness is typical of Yamazan🧐.

Yamasan drinking comparison. This is the February lot, but I forgot where I bought it😅.
Opened the bottle with a pop. The bottle smells nice, shimmering and swimming in the mouth of the bottle.
Now let's see how it tastes. Silky and elegant. Delicious 😋.
I plan to go to Ueda during the holidays, and I would like to take you with me if the next lot is still available 😁.
