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.
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 😁✨✨.
I'm in the mood for drinking as early as Tuesday this week.
So I had a hard time deciding what to drink, and I got this one at my first Takimoto's the other day!
Yamasan by Yamasan Sake Brewery
This is my first time to visit this brewery, and this time it was Aizan!
I've been looking forward to drinking this Yamazan!
So, without further ado, let's have it!
The first day
First, the aroma. It has a fruity aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a sour sweetness~.
Fruity and very refreshing.
I can feel a little chili on my tongue.
The lingering bitterness is exquisite!
There is a slight alcohol taste, but I felt it is a refreshing and delicious sake!
This is too delicious - I really liked this sake!
Day 2
Today, the fruity sweetness and bitterness spread out nicely from the beginning.
The impression is milder than yesterday, but the balance of sweet and bitter fruity taste is the same.
There is a sense of fullness and freshness that is better than the first day.
By the way, it is delicious - too delicious - I like it very much!
The lingering aftertaste is slightly spicy and bitter, and it finishes refreshingly!
This has become one of my favorite bottles!
I would like to try another Yamazan!
Good morning, ma-ki-😃!
First time! Congratulations to Yamasan㊗️ isn't it‼️ delicious😍I was surprised by how delicious it was too🫢I became a fan at once💕I want to try different labels❣️ let's go after it👍
Good morning, ma-ki- san 🎶.
Yamasan is delicious 😋.
We also have some Yamasan Aisan in our fridge 😊.
When shall I drink it 🤔
I'm looking forward to drinking more and more after reading your comment 🤤.
Good morning 😁.
I see you took it on two separate days. How did you endure it 😆 I wouldn't have been able to.
It has a good balance of chili sweet and bitter, and when it's just opened, the chili is very strong, which may be a characteristic of Yamazan, but it's just delicious 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki- 😀
Congratulations on your first Yamasan😃⤴✨
My recommendation for Yamasan is "Hitogokochi", which is my favorite.
It has a good overall balance and you can finish it in one day 🤭.
Good morning, ma-ki 🌞Congratulations on your first mountain san 🥳and I am too jealous 🤤It looks so delicious with sweet, bitter and even sour taste 🤤🤤 You must take this one ✨.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
Yamasan was really delicious and a bit of a shock ✨.
I regret that I didn't buy the other bottle that Takimoto had another label 😅.
Let's keep on tracking 👍️
Thanks for your comment, Takunon!
The Yamasan was delicious 😋.
I'm also interested in the Kinmon Nishiki you were drinking 🎵
Oh, the same one is waiting for you: ⤴️
I have a problem when to drink it 😁 Enjoy 😊.
Thanks for your comment Ane!
Ane you might be empty in an instant 😁✨.
It's exactly the perfect balance of chili sweet and bitter, it was just delicious 😋.
I'd love to try some of the other labels 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Mr. Kuri!
I see you drank Hitogokochi 🎵.
I would like to try Hitogokochi someday 😊.
I'm a weak drinker so I might not be able to finish it in one day😅.
Congratulations on your first sansan, ma-ki- san🎉!
I can imagine how delicious it tastes 😆 And by the way, your first one is always a good one to drink! You've got it 👍✨
Hello, ma-ki- san!
Congratulations on your first "mountain three" 🎉!
And it's a love mountain🥰.
Thank goodness it's easier to buy now that the sales channels have expanded all at once ✨.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃
Congrats on the first mountain san you wanted to drink ㊗️ 🎉 too delicious😍 what a psycho 😙.
We are on a break since Monday 🥲can't wait for the end of drinking 🥲!
Thanks for your comment Nao888!
My first visit to San San Ai San was right in the middle of my favorites, and it was so delicious 😋!
I have a feeling Nao888 will like it too 😁✨✨ if you see it!
Thank you for your comment, Nemuchi!
I'm sorry to be called a reference 😅.
Still! I was struggling with "I'm going to drink today" 😅! I was struggling with the "drink today" but it turned out to be a quick drink 😁.
I hope you enjoy your visit to San San Ai San too 😊.
Looking forward to your review 😋.
Thank you for your comment, Kotaro!
I finally went to San San 🎵.
It was a shocking bottle, just like Kotaro's delicious review 😋.
I'm suddenly curious about the other label of Yamasan too😊.
Thank you for your comment, Pon!
Yes 🎵It was so delicious and we had a blissful drinking time 😋.
Thanks to Sake no Wa's information, I can enjoy my first taste ✨.
I can only thank you all 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Jive!
My first Yamasan Aisan was shockingly delicious and I had a blissful drinking time from start to finish 😋.
Now that I know it's available at Takimoto's, I'm tempted to chase it up 😁✨✨.
Thanks for your comment ichiro18!
I can only say that it is my favorite, but it was shockingly delicious 😋.
Please try it if you have a chance 🎵
I also want to try other labels of Yamazan 😊.
Thanks for your comments Jay & Nobby!
Our first San San Aisan was a really good sake 😋.
The time we can say "umeme" while drinking good sake is too blissful to be true 😊.
Looking forward to your sake end review!
Good morning, ma-ki-😊Congratulations on your first mountain san 😊㊗️ I'm also a reviewer who slightly regrets that I passed on taking you to the mountain san ai-san 😂go to the liquor store again🚲😅.
Thanks for the comment, Baum!
Oh my - you passed 😅.
But there are so many drinks I want to drink, I can't help but make a choice 💧.
I'll look forward to your review when you get it 🤗.
First visit after Golden Week!
The manager said, "I saved this for you, too.
How kind!
There's not much left, so please drink it!
His wife seems to be a sake lover and we all drank the rest (I think I had 3 glasses of sake)!
It was my first time to visit Yamasanaiyama!
It tastes like strawberries and reminds me of the coming of spring!
The temperature in Sapporo rose to about 25 degrees Celsius on that day, and it was so nice that it seemed like early summer!
Lilac festival has started and beautiful purple flowers are in full bloom 🟣.
On this day, in addition to these dishes, we served simmered sea bream and assorted sushi 🍣.
Everyone was happy!
I guess the kids are about to go to sleep.
Back to the hotel with the wife and children!
The two of us had an evening party to hear a few words from a junior staff member.
