Satisfaction: ★★★★☆
I tried this wine because it was recommended by Sake-no-Wa.
It has a light aroma of fruits as soon as the bottle is opened.
It has a strong effervescence that makes bubbles stick to the boar's mouth.
When you put it in your mouth, the mild aroma is followed by a strong sweet taste, and then it wears off gently.
Anyway, it is sweet. It is a sticky sweetness, like syrup or honey.
There is a slight sawdust smell, but it is not bothersome.
It can be used as a food wine, but the sweetness may be too strong when paired with rice.
It may be a bit unique in its worldview.
A pleasant popping sound upon opening the bottle.
I had it by itself. It is a very tasty sake, not too sweet, but fruity, with excellent acidity and a slight bitterness that gives it a nice kick!
According to the liquor store, they like Yukimura Sanada and have newly started handling this sake!
Keep an eye out for more information from the liquor store 👀!

After the 🍊 intense 🍊 delicious twilight orange, this is another "Yamazan" pink 🍶 from ⁉️ that is blowing up in the Sakegawa area.
Finally got it 😊.
This time, the liquor store had 3 kinds of Yamasan waiting for us in the fridge with full of presence😍.
I was trying to decide which one to get....
I went with the one with the least amount of stock 😊.
I'll leave the flavor review to you guys 🤚.
I'll leave the taste reviews to you guys 🤚 and just concentrate on tasting the sake 😍
I have to go to the liquor store again 💦 even though I don't have enough room in my fridge.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊I'm taking your post on Sakewa as a reference, so I'll leave the taste reviews to you 😅 Thanks to you, I feel like I'm playing the lottery with no luck 😍.
The second sake from Nagano is Yamazan's Kinmon-nishiki 😀.
There was no Yamazan distributor in Kansai until the beginning of this year, so I couldn't get it at all 😅.
Finally, a distributor was opened in Kyoto and northern Osaka this year, but it's out of my area so it's hard to get it 😅.
I went to Ueda for sake activities, but the brewery does not sell directly, so I bought it at Miyajima-san in Ueda 😀.
This Yamazan-san was also a very tasty sake, fruity, not too heavy and beautiful 😀.
I guess Nagano sake made with Nagano rice makes a delicious sake 😀.
It would be great if there was a distributor in a place where it is easier to get it 🤣.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
We happened to be at the same time in the mountains🍶😁.
Fruity, not too heavy and beautiful ❗️ I know 😋.
Sake from Shinshu is very transparent👍
Good evening, Yasubeyesan🌛I see you were able to procure it locally from Yamasan-san 😳I envy you✨️ I can get to the store in Kyoto that carries it if I try hard enough, but I think I'll ask Jikkun for some ☺️ It has a strong flavor and is not too heavy...I am curious 🤤.
Yasubeyesan 🍉Oh, I was toasting with you at Yamasan last night! We had a toast together last night at Yamasan. ❤️ It's delicious... ‼️ I'd like to try all of them since there are so many different types of sake from different rice 😊I'm impressed that Yamasan's individual sake is so unified even though there are so many different tastes from different types of rice 💓
Hi Yasbay 🐦!
I'm sure the sake you bought locally tastes great! I'd like to try the Kinmonnishiki 😊.
I'd love to try some of this Kinmonniki 😊 There are a lot of sakes from Shinshu that you can't buy even if you go to the brewery 💦.
Good evening, shinsaku3 😀
It's kind of nice to be away from people you know and yet happen to drink the same sake 😀.
I would be happy if Yamazan was more readily available 🤣.
Good evening, Nao888!
If you are biking to Kadoya-san, I think you can get Yamasan if you go a little harder to Soji-ji Temple😇.
I'm sure you would love it since you and I have similar tastes 😀.
Good evening, Bekho 😀
It was a pleasure to toast with you 😇
The rice used for sake in Shinshu is quite unique and tasty in its own way, and the way the brewery has made it taste like a brewery while bringing out the different flavors is masterful 😀.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
I think I would have been more attached to the sake if I had purchased it from the brewery... but still, I am thankful that there is a local sake shop like Miyajima who is said to deal only in sake from Shinshu 😇.
Yamasan Yamadanishiki💛I've had 3 bottles so far Hitogochiki, Kinmonniki, and Aizan and they were all delicious❣️ this Yamadanishiki is the most balanced and elegant of them all😊No, I don't know how they were 💦 they were all delicious‼️ I'm grateful and thankful for my drinking friends 🙏.
Today we had cold shabu salad, miso marinated cod, brown rice rice porridge, and white peach jelly for dessert 🍑!
Of course all the pairings were great (lol), but the harmony with the white peach jelly was 💓💕💓💕 too wonderful! I mean, Yamasan is like a peach 🥰 anyway, it was a happy dessert 🍑.
Impressions of the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Pekho 😄!
Yamasan, you've got me hooked ❣️ We're guessing Yamasan too 😆 Yamadanishiki here, I bought it too 🙌 It's going to take some time before it comes out, but I can't believe how well balanced it is💕I'm quite looking forward to it 😘.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho 😀
Same timing for Yamazan-san 😀
It was a delicious sake, typical of Nagano sake 😀.
In case you are wondering, we had everything from meals to watermelon desserts with this sake.
It was delicious 😇
Hinahana Mama 💖Good morning ‼️ I see you are waiting for Yamada Nishiki 🥰Aiyama was delicious but I thought Yamada Nishiki was more refreshing 🍑It also goes well with fruits and desserts! Looking forward to your impressions 🥰.
Yasubeyesan🍉🍑It was really the same timing🥂Tastes good😋Suika is a nice pairing❣️I think of the apple fields in Shinshu, and I can imagine Nagano sake goes well with fruit🥰I must go back to Shinshu sake activities💪.
Hi Pekho 🐦.
I was surprised twice with yellow Yamasan 😳white peach jelly 😻 and 😆 I love the peach feeling and what's more, I love Yamada Nishiki sake, so I just want to drink it: ❣️
Pon-chan 🍑Thank you so much! When you drink the San San Yellow, please drink it with peach jelly💓My husband was convinced too, so it's almost? I'm almost sure it's the right one 👍I'm looking forward to seeing the other colors 😋.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
I've been a fan of Yama-san ever since a colleague of mine gave it to me 😃.
The green label recommended by Jay & Nobby was not available.
I was able to get the yellow label instead😃.
It is delicious ❣️😋
The taste is slightly different from the previous three bottles, with a sweetness and a bit of spiciness in the mouth.
It is a bit spicy with a sweetness in the mouth and then it disappears leaving a lingering taste that is somewhere between bitter and spicy without any peculiarity👍.
Here are my impressions from a previous comparison
The red Aizan is the most fruity.
The latter half has a peculiar, unrefined, miscellaneous taste sensation.
The purple Kinmon-nishiki is a little less sweet and tasty, and the bitterness without peculiarities follows in the second half.
And it has a good sharpness.
Hitokochochi Silver is
The first half is the same as Kinmon-nishiki, and the second half has a slight spiciness without any peculiarity.
It was served chilled.

Good evening, shinsaku3😄Yamasan Yamadanishiki, I buy it too👍It's also sweet and spicy 👍I hope it's not too spicy ❗️😅Which one is your number one so far, shinsaku3?
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
All of them were delicious 😋❣️ but the number one is the red Aizan which is slightly sweeter in my opinion 😃.
The difference between the two is minimal.
The yellow one this time is the best balance ‼️
This one is good too 👍 honestly it's hard to say which is better 🧐.
Good evening, shinsaku 3 😀
My sake of the day was purple Kinmon-nishiki 😀.
I bought it at a liquor store in Ueda because it's not easy to get in Kansai, but it would be nice if it were a little easier to get 😀.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
I see we both happened to have a Yamasan by chance: ❗️😃👍
There is only one store in Saitama and I think it is hard to buy 🙁 .
Actually, this yellow label was purchased from a sake friend of mine who got it in Meguro, Tokyo 🧐.
Good evening, shinsaku3😃!
Hi, Yamazan-san! This Yamadanishiki seems to fit perfectly with the J&N standards 👍Thanks for the reference 🤗.
I'll save the green label for future 👋

I found Yamazan's Junmai Aizan, which was rumored to be only available this season, and bought it as soon as I found it.

I drink it with cold sake.
When the bottle is opened, there is a long sizzling sound of gas.
The glass has a recognizable and considerable amount of microbubbles adhering to it and coming up a bit from the bottom.
Color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is melon, melon, melon, a hint of greenish, and a bit of berryiness.
The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated and sizzling right after opening the bottle.
The taste is impressive from the start, with a strong acidity that encompasses sweetness and bitterness.
It has a mild, weak sweetness, with a more robust sourness and bitterness, and a bitter aftertaste that is typical of Aizan, and is rounded out by an alu feel.
I have always felt that Yamazan San is good for its understated modernity.
The Joyo I drank the other day was also from Hyogo Prefecture, so I wonder if it is easy to grow and grows well as well as Yamadanishiki.

I guess it's better to drink it early as it has a good microcarbonation. I'm jealous that you bought it in a four-pack. I'm going to Nagano this week, but I doubt there will be any left at the store where I drank it last time.
Hello, Nemuchi!
I see you've opened a bottle of Yamasan Aizan 🎵.
I love the taste of this sake 😋.
It's a shame that it's only for this season😅.
I'm reminiscing about how good it was after reading your review 🤤.
Ane-san Aizan Oyasama! Hi 😃It's still delicious freshly opened and slightly carbonated 😋 after I bought it I found out that Aizan might only be brewed this season 🤣I hope it's still available at my favorite store in Nagano 🙏✨️
Hi ma-ki-san😃Yamazan is very popular at Sake-no-wa and the best way to enjoy it is to open the bottle early and drink it 😋I hope they make it again next year 😊I would like to try more different types of Yamazan 🍶.
Good evening, Nemuchi!
I also got this Yamasan the other day 😄I read your review and it reminded me of the taste! I know what you mean ‼️ and it reminded me of the taste 🤤I hope they make it again next year 😆.
Good evening, Kotaro🌛It was gassy and modestly modern, well-balanced and delicious 😋It was only available this season, so I enjoyed it carefully and thoroughly 😁It might be hard to get it again due to Yamazan's reputation... 😅
☀️
Lightly muddy...? No, it was cloudy there🤍.
Slightly carbonated 🫧, clean and slightly carbonated.
Based on the sweetness and flavor of the rice, but not too sweet, not too heavy, just the right balance 🤗.
It was versatile enough to accompany sushi rolls with sushi rice 🥰.
Hi Hiro, good evening!
I'm jealous of this one, Yamasan, which I gave up on the other day at Takimoto 😅.
It's so great to go with sushi rice 😍.
I want to get a bottle next time I come across it 😋.
Sake I got on an expedition during Golden Week: ❤️
It has the fruity and gassy taste that only a Junmai Daiginjo can have ✨.
If you're not careful, you might end up drinking it all 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Rurun!
I also had some Yamazan yesterday, but with a different label 🎵.
It's delicious 😋.
It was a dangerous drink that even I, a weak drinker, could not resist 😁✨✨.
