This time, I decided to open two bottles on the same day to enjoy the changes in two days instead of drinking them all 🍶.
The first bottle was "Yamasan".
This bottle was brought to the table in response to the wife's request.
With the signal of toast 🥂 from the wife
We will have you drink it 😊.
Her first words were "Delicious" and "I love this 😍" 😊.
This time it was fire-brewed, so my impression was 'it's still raw' 😅.
Still, the fruity aroma and refreshing taste was perfect for my wife's request 😋.
I was expecting a new season's draft sake, so I'll have to consider planning to bring her along... 🤣
Hello, Mr. Baum!
Your wife said it was "delicious" at the Hatsuzanzo, so she's the first one to say that 😁✨✨.
I also got the same one, so I'm looking forward to drinking it more and more 😋!
Hi, ma-ki-San 😊.
Yamasan is one of those bottles that you can't go wrong with, whether fired or fresh 🥰ma-ki, I hope you enjoy it 😊.
We were able to bring a sparkling one with us as well, so we are looking forward to it 😍.
The autumn bugs have started to sing, but it's still hot out, so we opened a bottle of Yamasan Sparkling 😄.
As usual, I first had it with just 🍶😄Already soda water💦but the bitterness followed 😱.
When served with the autumn fish 🐟, the bitterness of the 🍶 goes away and turns into an easy drinking 🍶 😊.
Sparkling sake is like a juice, but this 🍶 is a food wine 🍶.
It was delicious 🥰.
Alcohol content: 15 degrees Celsius
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Rice: Yamae-Nishiki 100% Nagano Prefecture
Good evening, Mr. Hero8 😃.
It really is still hot everyday 🥵.
I'm really looking forward to drinking this Yamasan Spark! I want to drink it so badly 😋 but I haven't found it yet🥲.
I like the fact that it's a food spark 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
Looks like it's going to be hot again this weekend 🥵.
I heard that Yukimura Sanada's favorite liquor store has recently started to carry it 🤗.
I often have it with just 🍶 and I was worried about the bitterness so I tried it with a meal 🎊.
It was hot today and I moved a lot, so I took the plunge and opened a bottle of Yamazan sparkling!
It was refreshing and full of carbonation!
As I expected, the beautiful sake quality typical of Nagano goes perfectly with the sparkling sake.
It is a perfect sake for a hot day, with little sweetness!
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Gowari Gobu Hi-iri
Rating 4.3
Rice: Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 55%, Alcohol 15
The full flavor of this unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake has been mellowed and calmed by the addition of heat-irrigation, which further enhances the delicate and refined taste of Yamadanishiki. It has a deep lingering aftertaste that spreads with a gentle aroma. A perfect food sake. Slightly citrusy aroma. The lingering aftertaste is a bit ennui.
Yamazan Shuzo, Ueda City, Nagano, Japan Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki 50-50% Unfiltered Nama Sake
It has a light fizzing sensation on the tongue.
Above all, the aroma was overflowing and wonderful!
I found another Nagano Prefecture's treasure!
I went on a trip to Nagano during my Obon vacation. The main purpose of the trip was to purchase Shinshu Kamerei from the Okazaki Sake Brewery in Ueda City. Yamazan Sake Brewery is a sake brewery in Ueda City that I stopped by on the way there. It was my first time to drink sake from the brewery. The brewery did not sell the sake at the storehouse, but I was informed of a special store where I could buy it. I was told by the store staff that this brewery had recently been revived and that Yamazan Sake was rapidly gaining popularity.
When the bottle was opened, it had a sweet aroma and was easy to drink with a sweet taste. I would like to try another sake made from a different rice.
Good evening, TAKA2!
I love the trip to visit a sake brewery in Nagano Prefecture 🎵.
I'm so glad you were able to stop by Yamazan's brewery on your way to Nagano ✨.
I haven't had this lapel yet, but Yamazan is really good 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-san.
Yamazan Sake Brewery was located in a field on the way to Matsumoto from downtown Ueda. I bought it at the nearby liquor store you mentioned. I heard that Yamazan is very popular these days and they sometimes limit the number of bottles sold.
I was lucky enough to buy Yamazan once and enjoyed it so much that I have always wanted to repeat it, but have never had the chance. When I went back to my parents' house, my nephew who came back at the same time bought it for me! 👏👍
The sparkling made it more effervescent, the fresh fruity muscat-like aroma was mild, and in addition to the sweetness and acidity, I could also taste the umami and bitterness of the rice. It was a delicious sake with a good balance of not only sweetness but also a refreshing second half. It is more like champagne than sake.
Good evening, Zuoton 😃.
Three sparks in the mountains! Nice 👍Nephew ‼️
We want to try it too 😋 but it's slow and sold out everywhere 🥲 I hope we can get some 🥹.
It looks like Nagano! Or rather, it is like Shinshu Kamerei!
When I drank Omachi 6 months ago, I didn't like it because I felt it had a strong alcohol taste.
I'm not sure if I'm used to drinking it or if it's easier to drink because it's Yamada Nishiki? I think so 🤔
I have always wanted to try Yamazan!
I bought 5 bottles at once because I started doing business with a liquor store I often use lol.
I started with a Junmai Ginjo of Yamadanishiki!
The aroma is fruity with apple-like acidity.
The taste is clean, fresh, and lush, typical of Nagano!
It is surprisingly rich, and may be somewhere between Shinshu Kamerei and Kawanakajima Genmai.
I knew it was good before drinking it, but when I tried it, it was even better!
I'd love to try some of the raw sake as well: ✨️
Hi Ryosuke 😃
Congratulations to Hatsuzan San-san on ㊗️ 🎉!
Yes, yes! I'm so happy to see the beginning of handling 🤗
I mean....5 bottles 😳 You've taken the plunge 🤗.
I have a bottle of Yamadanishiki Jun Dai waiting for me at home...
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I just thought I'd try a few different specs for now lol.
We have a Yamadanishiki Jun Dai coming up too, so I'm looking forward to it: ✨️
I happened to have a bottle of Yamazan, which I had been curious about but had never had a chance to drink. The label is stylish. It is a Yamada-Nishiki, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake with delicious specs.
The first impression I had was of apples. The orangey citrus flavor was mixed in with the apple flavor, making it quite a refreshing bottle. The flavor is just right, not too thick or too thin. It is sweet, yet refreshing.
If it tastes this good, I would like to try another spec.
The label color is very fresh and promising.
The taste is light, sweet and refreshing.
It's good even while eating 😚.
It will be gone in no time 😚.
I want to enjoy many other kinds of Yamasan from now on 🙌🙌
Good morning, Hissan😃!
Yamasan 💚 is our first choice at the moment 🤗We have some Yamadanishiki waiting in our fridge, so we are looking forward to drinking it!
Good evening, Master J&N 😎.
Yamada Nishiki from Yamasan: ❣️
That looks badass 🤤.
Yamamie, which is one of the most recommended, was also delicious to fall in love with 🤭.
Yamazan Shinshu Himitsu no Sake Hanpukai 2025 (August) Gold Course/Platinum Course
Rating 4.6-4.5
Junmai Daiginjo Yamae Nishiki
Both courses are identical this time. Excellent performance. The aroma is gorgeous. White peaches✕green apples. The nose is fresh, even though it is fire-brewed. The convergence is dry and excellent as a food wine. Light. Very well-balanced. Yamazan has the potential to break out even further.
