Participated in the Yamasankai hosted by Beki-san at for the sake of SAKE (for SAKE).
It was interesting to see Mr. Ogiwara, the president of the brewery, who joined the party as a member of the general public.
Thanks to the host who served more than 30 kinds of free-flowing sake.

Good morning Jay & Nobby 😊.
Everyone was drinking and comparing different combinations since it was a free flow event. Yamae Nishiki is good, isn't it?
The second bottle of Yamazan
From the previous "Junmai Ginjyo Yamae Nishiki 50 polished, unfiltered, raw sake".
This Junmai Ginjo Hitogokochi Gowari Gobun Usu Nigori Unfiltered Nama-shu was more to my liking.
Slightly sweet and not too sweet.
Not too sweet
Not too sweet, just right.
I can drink it in gulps.
Delicious 😋.
I saved too much of last year's one, of course... Is it like the predecessor to the sparkling 🤎 that came out this year? (since it was a crown and not a battledore).
The aroma is sweet rice, citrus, grapes. Maybe some muscat?
When you drink it, it has a chili-swirling mouthfeel, grapes, and honey-like sweetness. I still think it has a bit of an aged feel to it. I put it down...
After a little while, the impression is the same.
The honey-like aroma that comes through to the nose is dense. But the taste itself is not sticky, so the aftertaste is clean.
This is delicious, but I wish I had drunk it fresh!
Unshakable love of the three mountains 🩶.
The first 2025BY Yamae Nishiki was
Unexpectedly, I was on a business trip and couldn't buy it💦.
Start with the 2nd Hitokochi ▶️
Hitogochi from Yaehara 55% polished,
15% alcohol by volume
Yamazan's draft sake is supposed to be insanely delicious 😋.
The sound of the bottle opening is a powerful mf pop!
Microbubbles are all over the glass when it is poured 🫧.
The top aroma is green apple.
The first thing you feel when you drink it is a pleasant freshness with the microbubbles popping in your mouth.
Taste,
Oh, it's quite dry.
It has a dry finish with little sweetness and umami.
The bitterness of the last taste is also quite clear.
It is a good sake to drink as a mealtime drink.
Maybe my expectations were a little too high.
The impression is quite different depending on the year.
I thought it was a bit too much.
(But it's still delicious.)
Good morning, ymdaz 🐥.
You've had 16 bottles not that long after it came out and you haven't wavered at all 😆👍.
I'm glad to hear about your progress because I'm happy to put it down and ride it even if I don't like it when I open it 😊.
Yamazan finally welcomed us.
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 15
100% Yamae-Nishiki produced in Yaehara, Tomi City, Nagano Prefecture
It has been a long time since we have tasted Yamae Nishiki.
The aroma and mouthfeel are gorgeous and grape-like.
Compared to citrus acidity, the sweetness is moderate and soft. The impression is of a light, delicious acidity.
The acidity is followed by a grapefruit-like bitterness that is refreshing and clean.
It is a taste that can be convinced that it has been the talk of the town recently 😊.
I served it with chilled tofu and pork kimchi.
It washed away the darker pork kimchi ✨.
I'm so glad that there is now an official store near me that carries it 😇
Good morning, soumacho!
Congratulations on your first Yamasan🎉!
I'm jealous that you can take me to a liquor store near you 😍.
It's a really fruity and delicious Yamazan 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😃
It was a good sake that deserves to be recommended ✨.
I'll keep my antenna up 📡 as popular brands tend to be hard to find even if you become a dealer.
