Yamae Nishiki. This year's new sake.
Refreshing and acidic.
Is this what the toji intended? I think it's a big part of it.
Not bad. I had it with Matsumoto Ippon onion. They go well together!
Immediately after opening the bottle, I thought it was sweet, juicy, and delicious 🍶, with green apple and melon-like flavors and acidity combined 😄.
However, as I drank the second and third glasses, I felt the sweetness and the bitterness of the sharpness increased 😢.
Today, 4 days after opening the bottle, I had it with dumplings 🥟, it was not too sweet and the bitterness hardly showed its face. ☺️
The first glass right after opening the bottle is very tasty on its own 🍶, but it still seems to be a food wine 😋.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Rice: 100% Yamae-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamae-Nishiki Unfiltered Unrefined Unmatured Sake
Sake rice polished to 50% this time.
It has a sweet, clean and refreshing ginjo aroma. When you drink it, it has a smooth texture with soft acidity and umami, and the sweetness is gently supported by the moderate acidity from the mid-palate.
The well-balanced flavor is good, and the gentle yet beautiful acidity is well-balanced and pulls you through to the lingering finish. The subtle bitterness in the aftertaste is good for resetting after a meal.
It has a freshness that is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, but the soft taste is good.
I opened the bottle after emptying Kameizumi 😋.
Kameizumi is the sweetest ⤴️ and Yamasan is the cosiest 👏👏👏👏.
I believe it was 1600 yen without tax 😅.
Junmai Ginjo for 1600 yen is ‼️‼️‼️
It's 1600 yen, but it's a little bit shwashy and light nigori 🤩This is a tasty one 😋I recommend it 😋.
It is said to be aged at low temperature for two years. The sake rice is Yamae Nishiki, which is new to me. The light cloudiness is exquisite and the aroma is elegant. The taste is rich with acidity.

Wine-like taste. (The one that is not Chardonnay.)
A lustrous fruitiness with the density of the original wine.
Slightly green flavor that reminds me of bamboo or mint candy.
Green flavor with a refreshing aftertaste.
I want to drink it by the glass.
Modern and refreshing.
Taste level 3.5/5
When poured into a kataguchi, the ginjo aroma stands out well. Slightly cloudy. Sourness and tingling in the mouth. A mild pineapple sweetness follows. It is refreshing and delicious. It is easy to drink. Goes well with tofu dressing. Nagano sake is very beautiful.
Juicy and fruity aroma.
Gassy and refreshing on the palate.
Pleasant sweetness and fruity acidity.
The umami is also strong.
Slight bitterness finishes the palate.
4.5/5
