The week has begun - ✴️
Yamasan I drank a lot this year: ☺️♥️
It is easy to drink with a good balance of acidity and sharpness 🥰.
I look forward to more 💮💮.
Good evening, Jun-san!
I envy you that you drank a lot of "Yamazan" 😁.
I hope I can buy it consistently from now on ✨.
I hope I can buy it consistently from now on💦.
Today is the third day in the mountains...
I had high hopes...
Oh, it sure is juicy!
It's like it's trying to tell you it's not just sweetness with a touch of sweetness🤔.
Fruity, yet balanced and sharp 👍
Mature taste!
Easy to drink and nicely put together sake... 🤔.
Nagano Prefecture Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
Yamazan Shuzo Co.
100% Yamae-Nishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15
Slightly hazy crystal
The first impression of the aroma is moderately gorgeous.
banana, melon, cooked rice, lime, a little honey
First impression on the palate is slightly light
Mild sweetness, gentle acidity, mild bitterness.
Smooth, but with a thick balance of umami and a short finish.
The aftertaste is clean and delicious, with a good amount of ginjo aroma that is not too strong.
Sanke Nishiki is a relatively new sake rice original to Nagano Prefecture.
It seems that there was a lot of hard work involved in its development.
It's fun to drink while reading about the background!
It's similar to the feeling I get when I buy a record and listen to the music while reading the liner notes.
Less fruity than expected.
Bitterness and sourness come out as an aftertaste.
From the second sip, the sweetness became familiar to the tongue and was noticeable.
-Mr.
First "Yamazan".
Enjoyed at "Iyoya Yotsuyu", a restaurant with a wide selection of Nagano Prefecture sake.
The aroma of wooden vats filled the air, reminding me of my hometown. This is delicious! I was so impressed with the taste.
The master, who is well versed in Nagano Prefecture's sake, even said that there is a secret boom in the market.
I want to drink it again.
Miraculously, the liquor store I frequent has started carrying it.
Juicy and fruity like a pear
Well-balanced sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness.
Delicious!
The topic? Yamasan
Yes, it's refreshing and delicious.
It's also a bit tangy, so it's perfect for a mealtime drink.
The topic of conversation? I can see why it's a hot topic...
However, the first day after opening the bottle, it was a little bit hard? I think it was a little hard on the first day of opening the bottle.
Looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd days 👀.
Huh? There's Yamazan 😳
I was so happy to hear that Takimoto now carries it!
I'm so happy 😆.
100% Yamae-Nishiki
Polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 15%.
Fruity aroma, fruity even when drunk with a lot of pizzazz.
Sweetness that can be recognized as sweetness, and spiciness at the end.
On the second day, it tastes more umami than sweetness, and it has a sense of calmness.
The taste changed a lot in one day 😳.
On the third day, the fruity aroma and the piquancy are still there, with a soft sweetness and umami.
When I tasted a sake with a different label before, I had a sweet impression, but this one was more umami.
It was not too sweet, so I could drink as much as I wanted. ❣️
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
Yamasan, finally landed in Kansai. ☺️ I'm so-so far away, even in Kyoto 🥲.
I would like to taste the fruity and piquant again, so I will take the opportunity to go to Takimoto-san to buy some!
Good evening, Pon-chan 🍶.
I was thinking of going to Takimoto when the timing is right 😁The brewery owner is a very nice person, so I want to support them 📣.
Good morning, Pon, ☀️
We've been waiting for your review 🥳It really was so good you could drink as much as you wanted 😋.
I'm glad to hear that more and more stores in the Kansai region are carrying it, so the range of sake you and Pon-chan can drink together has expanded👍.
Good morning Pon-chan...what a surprise...I was drinking the same Yamasan for the first time ❣️ and the next one I'm preparing to drink is "Saku nouveau" 😳Yamasan is delicious💕!
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I'm so happy to hear that 💕Maybe it worked out that we all asked for "Kansai" when we were in YOMOYAMA! I'm sure you'll be able to find us in Osaka and Nara as well 😆!
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I'm glad to see that "Yamasan" can now be enjoyed in the Kansai area at once 😁.
Actually, I had stocked up on "Yamasan" for offline meetings, but I decided to take this opportunity to consume it 🤣.
Good morning, Pon-chan ☀I'm so glad that Yamazan has started to have special dealers in Kansai 😊We have one on standby too, and I'm looking forward to opening it because it's more than delicious 😋.
Hi Manachy 🐦.
It's really easy to drink and delicious 😳I wonder if Kansai will be like that when it becomes popular 🥺I just started dealing with them and I just hope that all labels will be in stock 🙏.
Hello, Mr. Bousuke 🐦.
It was surprisingly soft and sweet, and more on the umami side. I have a stupid tongue, so please forgive me if I am wrong 🙏 It is definitely easy to drink, so please enjoy it 😊.
Hi Takubon 🐦.
Glad you can buy it now 😊I hope other sake rice comes in ✨.
Yes, you were going to Shinshu, weren't you? I hope you can buy it at the brewery 😻
Hi T.KISO 🐦.
Online sales, surprisingly many of them are sold out 🥺I wonder if it's getting harder to buy Yamasan, too, now that people know how good they are 😱.
Hi kino.
Yes, I was thinking that Nagoya also carries it but not in Kansai yet 😆 Now that there are 4 stores in Kansai at once, everyone will be able to buy it 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
It's a green label that is easy to drink and tastes great 😁 I recommend this one to you guys 😉.
Maybe next year we'll drink it with the green bundle 🤔.
Hi Ao 🐦.
I'm glad we were able to get each other! I'll buy and drink it when I see it before it becomes super popular 😁.
Looking forward to your feedback 😊.
Hello Kotaro 🐦.
I was relieved to see your review 😊🙏 as I was wondering if my taste buds were strange because the one I drank before was sweet 😆🙏 it's really an easy drink 😆.
Hello, Marue 🐦.
Two bottles in a row together feels like destiny 😆 I'm really very happy 😊.
It's easy to drink! If I put a bottle in front of you, it will be gone that day 😁.
Hi Tsuyodai 🐦.
It's delicious. ❣️ I see why it's so popular 😆 So far, it looks like Kansai is the first place west of here 💦I hope there will be a store in Fukuoka soon 🥹.
Good evening, Nemuchi-san 🦉.
You got it, didn't you? That's great ✨
I'm glad it's a bit sweeter as I like sweet, but I think the softer it is, the easier it is for most people to drink 😊 Enjoy 😉.
Good evening, kozo-san 🦉.
Do you have Takekuma Sake Shop in Kawasaki? I found it on the list of stores that carry it 🤔It's easy to drink, so if you come across it, please do!
I haven't been to Takekuma recently, so I'll go there as soon as possible! I see that Takekuma carries it 🤩I haven't been there recently so I'll go there as soon as possible! Thank you so much 😘.

Yamazan Sake Brewery is a sake brewery founded in 1867 in Ueda, Shinshu, Japan, which resumed sake production in February 2023 after a dormant period since 2015. Rooted in the local community, the brewery is committed to making attractive sake through a fusion of tradition and innovation, paying attention to every grain of rice and drop of water. Please enjoy "Sanada Rokubun Sen," named after the family crest of the Sanada family of Shinshu Ueda, which was inherited from the previous generation, and "Yamasan," a new brand named after the brewery.
The color is clear and contains a few fine bubbles.
The aroma is sweet, and in the mouth it has a sour and sweet taste with a good aftertaste!
Summer drinking is not over!
Yamazan⛰️⛰️⛰️
A blend of Hitogochiki and Yamane Nishiki✨.
Not quite the refreshing summer sake,
It's not the refreshing summer sake, but I think Hitogochi's clean, gentle sweetness and Yamae Nishiki's sweet umami combine nicely 😋.
I'm not sure if I'm lying or not😇
Anyway, it's good because it's delicious 🤣👍👍
When I saw that a new sake had been released, I was excited and went to buy it. I heard they changed the specs from last year's 40% to 50-50.
The aroma is sour and rancid, with a hint of grassy blue.
On the palate, it was chili-swirling, with mild pear? and sourness. The sourness comes with a juicy acidity and the richness of rice, and when swallowed, a forest-like aroma of mountain san (🌳).
Then it finishes with a light bitterness. Maybe drier than imagined? But it is delicious!
The next day, the chiri-shuwa settles down a bit.
I like the fact that it has a good flavor, but it is on the refreshing line and is not converted to sweetness.
The next day, it became a little more sour and dry. I don't think I have ever felt this change in Yamazan before. The chirichiri is about the same. The aftertaste is refreshing while lingering.
It is still mellow and full of flavor, but it also retains its freshness. I am looking forward to another season.
Hi Kotaro 😃I've only had the Yamazan once, but the Kochira looks delicious from the color of the label.
I've only had the Yamazan once 🥲 but this one looks delicious from the color of the label 😋 I'm curious about the refreshing dry one 😙 I haven't had it in a while 😙.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I guess if the label looks good, it tastes good on the inside too 😆 Please enjoy this refreshing dry sake with a delicious flavor that is typical of Shinshu sake 🥳👍.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌙
Oh, I see you've been drinking here ‼️ I'm so glad you and Pon-chan are drinking the same sake at the same time, even though we're in different places😊.
I'm looking forward to the new sake coming out in the future when it's good 🥳.
