Alcohol content: 16 Yamada Nishiki Polishing ratio: 39 The rice is polished to a very high degree. The aroma is a beautiful ginjo aroma. It is a delicious sake with a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. In this sense, it may be similar to Jikin.

I can't stop loving the mountains 🧡. Yamazan used to release new products about every other week. After the vintage ones came out, it just stopped... I'm sure the vintage was just a replacement for the hiyayoshigoshi. That means new sake is next, right? But I can't wait for the new sake! I'm done saving sake right before my physical exam. I can drink it, can't I? So I opened a bottle of Jun Dai that I had in stock: ‼️ Yamadanishiki 39% polished, 16% alc. I took off the plastic cover and opened the bottle. The sound of opening the bottle was a short pus in mp. Microbubbles 🫧 in the glass The top-tasting aroma is soft and floral sweet for a moment The ginjo aroma is subdued, but Citrusy with a little twang when you look for it When you drink it, you can taste the crisp acidity and and a clear piquancy. and a grape-like sweetness. and at the same time, it finishes with a clear bitterness. As I recall, this Yamada-Nishiki As I recall, this Yamadanishiki is one that develops sweetness as it grows. I thought I'd limit it to a little on the first day, but it was so good but it was so good that I drank too much 🤣.

Fruit-like aroma softly fades away and the finish is very clean. Impression: Elegant, modern, lightweight daiginjo. The nose has a gorgeous fruit-like ginjo aroma. The taste is light, sweet and acidic, which makes it hard to believe that it is unfiltered sake. The soft and elegant mouthfeel typical of Kinmon-Nishiki and the clear texture of 35% polished rice are well balanced. It has a modern taste that is not too flamboyant, but has a calm and elegant flavor design that must have been very difficult to produce. This is a wine that can be enjoyed chilled.

Yamazan, Hitogokochi was opened 🎉. Last time we drank a 2 year old Hitogokochi 🌾. It was rich and sweet, and I could feel the solid aging: ☺️ Let's compare it again with the fresh Hitogokichi! With this in mind, I went to the liquor store and brought a bottle of Hitogokochi light cloudy 🚗. Fresh -> Aged -> Fresh Well, I wonder what impression I will get 🤗. I'll have it right away 🥂! First of all, the aroma. Not much of an aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the gorgeous sweetness. You can also taste the gentle umami of the rice 🌾. In the second half, sourness and gasiness come out, and it finishes smoothly with a slight astringent taste. No pungency, bitterness, or unpleasant alcohol taste. When mixed with corkage, the gorgeous sweetness stands out and the taste is mild. Yeah, this one ☝️ It's sweet and sour and creamy, just the way I like it 🥰. Yamazan is still delicious 😋😋😋😋. After comparing the two, I found that the fresh one is more sweet and sour, has just the right amount of gas, and I don't get tired of drinking it 😆. I realized I like this one better 😘. The sweet and sourness is less than Sanke Nishiki, so I still prefer Sanke Nishiki😍. On the contrary, Hitogokochi is the most balanced so it's suitable for everyone 😍❣️ Yamazan is delicious and affordable✨. I recommend it to everyone💕

Japanese>English

Hina Hana Mama Good morning! This Yamazan is well balanced and not too tiring to drink 😊I was relieved to see that we have the same impression 😅←Bakashitaga,barrel💦. I would like to try Yamae Nishiki and other Yamasan 😘.

Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃 I like Yamazan 😋. I recently found a liquor store that carries it in their online store and I wanted to go to ...... to order it, but everything was SOLD OUT, as if it was popular 😭. I'd definitely like to try it sometime 😭

Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛It's interesting to compare the aging of Yamasan-nishiki with drinking it. ✨️ I used to think I might like Miyamanishiki, but after drinking the pink one, I realized that Yamae-nishiki is so much better 🥰 I haven't had it in a while 🤤.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Chirsta 😄Thank you for your comment... I'm sorry to hear it was sold out online 💦! I wish you could drink it though 🥹I highly recommend you to start with Sanke Nishiki or Hitogokochi for Yamasan 🤗.

Nao888, good evening😄Thank you for your comment! I know, right? ❣️ we have the same taste after all 😘Sanke Nishiki's sweet and sour is the best 👍Please try to beg Ji Jin again 🤣.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Thank you for your comment! I see that Hitogokochi was your entrance! It's the most balanced and easy to drink, so you're right on the money. ☺️ You've got your eye on it 👍Is it too sweet for the two of you now?

Good evening, Mr. Peckho😄Thank you for your comment. This year, Mr. Peckho drank a lot of Yamasan. ❣️ all of them were highly praised, so it was helpful for me too 😆 I still have some undranked Yamasan waiting in my fridge. ✌️

Yamazan Hitogochi Junmai Ginjo Gowari Gofubu Light Nigori 100% Hitogochi produced in Nagano Prefecture Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15%. Sake meter - Acidity Fat 10/2, opened 10/21 This is the second bottle of Yamazan after Yamakaze which I killed instantly 😍. I'm not comparing two 2 year olds but Hitogokochi 😅. The aroma after opening the bottle is very fresh! You could say it smells fresh! In the mouth it is milky like a light nigori, but with a clear and sweet taste 😍. In the mouth, it is milky like a light nigori, but it is clear and sweet. The aftertaste is very well balanced with no spiciness, bitterness, or other unpleasant tastes, so you will never get tired of drinking it! It's delicious! It's hard to compare with Yamakaze, but I'd say Hitogokochi has the better taste because it has a calmer and more profound taste due to the fire-roasting process 🤔. Well, it's a close call 😅It depends on your taste! Delicious! 10/18 Saturday I went with my son to cheer for Yokohama F Marinos 🇫🇷 and the result was 4:0 🙌It was a great win for a team that is fighting to stay alive 🤩. I hope they will do their best for the remaining 4 games to remain in the competition! My son was very happy too😘.

Good morning, kozo 😃. Odd coincidence, isn't it? I had the same one last week 🍶. I will upload it tomorrow 🗓️ I like watching soccer games with your son: ❣️ It's fun to talk when we like the same sport and we can't stop talking about it 😉.

HinaHanaMama Good evening 🤩Oh🤩we had the same one? I'm looking forward to your post 😘...it's fun to have common interests with kids😊My daughter is in a club 🏸, but she lost a game once....

Hi Kozo 🐦. I like Hitogokochi sake so I would like to drink this one, but I'm also curious about the Yamakasumi you just mentioned as I've never had it before 💦It's just so hard to choose, but it's a great comparison ✨.

Japanese>English

Pon. Good evening. I haven't had a lot of Hitogokochi, but I imagine it produces a gentle tasting sake 😊. Some breweries tend to have a similar taste, but Yamasan has a completely different taste and even smell, so it was fun to compare 🤩.

We had a bottle of Yamazan's Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu. This is Yamazan's sake, one of my favorite Nagano sake that I continue to enjoy drinking. I had just recently had a bottle of Yamadanishiki unrefined sake, and I couldn't forget how good it tasted, so I opened it again. It has a strong sweetness and umami, like concentrated fruit juice, with a strong bitterness and a freshness that is typical of nama-nishiki sake. While it has a rich flavor, it also has a spicy and refreshing alcohol taste, so you can drink it without it becoming too heavy. The overall flavor is strong, making it the most impactful and most memorable of all the Yamazan sakes we have had so far.

Yamazan Yamasumi First Vintage 2 years old Junmai Daiginjo Yamae-Nishiki 50% light nigori Use Rice polishing ratio Alcohol content 1 Sake meter degree - Acidity Fat: 10/1, bottle opened 10/20 I wanted to bring 3 bottles of Yamazan at the liquor store where I went to visit 👼 but I had to bring 2 bottles because of the capacity of the refrigerator 😅One of them The aroma after opening the bottle was a faint scent of white grapes! It's so classy 😍I can't help but get excited 🤣. Fine bubbles on the glass 🫧. I'm intrigued just by this 🤤. The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth in contrast to the gaseous and gushy sensation on the tongue, and then the delicious sake rice and honey-like texture fills the mouth😍. Wow! This one! This is amazing! It has a hint of wine taste. The difference between this and wine is the fizz and the tingle of alcohol, but this is not an unpleasant alcoholic sensation, it is a tingling sensation accompanied by deliciousness, which quickly turns into a lingering aftertaste of deliciousness. It is not a bad feeling, but it is a tingling feeling accompanied by deliciousness, but it quickly turns into a lingering deliciousness 😘. I think it is a sake that gives a different impression depending on the way you drink it 🤔. Of course, I... Delicious 😘. The other bottle was Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi I enjoyed the comparison 😘
