This junmai ginjo is made from "Yamadanishiki" sake rice grown under contract in Hyogo Prefecture and carefully polished to a 55% polished rice ratio. The delicate aroma is harmonized with a full and elegant flavor, and a gentle sweetness spreads on the palate. The finish is pleasantly light and crisp, with a fresh, clear flavor typical of the Yamazan Shuzo brewery. It has an excellent balance of aroma and flavor, and is recommended as an excellent food sake.
Nagano Purchased at a liquor store
Purchased when I went to Nagano to buy sake 🍶.
It's been a while since I've been to Yamazan ⛰️
Yamazan is becoming more and more popular lately and I haven't caught up with it yet, so I chose Hitogokochi this time 💁.
I thought it was hard to buy in the first place 🤔.
I still have a strong image of Hitogokochi or Yamaye Nishiki when it comes to Nagano sake rice 💪.
Opened the bottle right away 🍶This is delicious 😋.
The gasiness at the mouth and the flavor when you drink it is very delicious 😋 The sweetness is less than expected and it tastes dry and fruity 🌾.
It tastes like grapefruit with less sweetness 🍊I think it's better to drink it as a food wine than on its own.
I was drinking it so fast and now it's gone...
Thank you very much for the drink 😋😋.
I enjoyed the last pink light cloudy Yamazan so much that I drove away the moment I saw this one here on instagram😅.
When I opened the bottle, I felt a light sippiness.
The first sip has a light gassy feeling and clear sweetness.
Not much aroma.
I prefer the pink one, but this one is delicious here: ❤️
As you drink it slowly, the gassy feeling disappears.
It is sweet and bitter.
Fruity, sweet and sour aroma.
In the mouth, there is a fruity acidity and moderate sweetness, with a sense of grapes.
There is also a sense of gas, and it is refreshing.
4.5/5
We are in the middle of the rainy season, but it's hot! Too hot😰💦💦.
Sunny before noon today ☀️
Temperatures are rising and 🌡️ sizzling🔥.
I'm off today, but I'll have something simple for dinner 🍶.
Seared albacore tuna tataki
Meat and tofu 😋😋.
First time at Yamasan!
Yamasan 🍶.
Opened with a splash.
No schwashy feeling.
Not much of an aroma. Alcohol smell.
In the mouth, grapefruit or rumney 🙄.
Mouthfeel is clean and slightly mellow.
After the juiciness and umami, the acidity comes in a flash and it is refreshing.
The alcohol is strong, so it's a good choice for a tzumaki.
The alcohol is very strong, so it's better to have a snack with it. 👍️
Good for cosmopolitan ✌️ 😆 Perfect summer drink 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Minosuke!
Congratulations on your first Yamazanzan 🎉!
I also received a different label the other day 😁.
The image is quite refreshing, so it looks perfect for summer 😋.
The snacks always look delicious too 🤤!
Thank you very much, ma-ki-.
I would like to try Aizan as well 😆.
It has a good balance of umami and sourness rather than sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste. It's not just a refreshing summer sake.
It is not only refreshing but also delicious 😋.
Congratulations on your first Yamazan3, Minosuke 🎉🎊!
I had the same one for the first time too 😆It really is perfect for summer! I love it with seared tataki 😻I can't get through this heat without drinking and eating something delicious 😂.
Pon. Good evening 😊.
First time we had the same Yamasan 😆✨️
I'm really interested in the other Yamasan 🎵.
I'm looking forward to Pon-chan's selection of 🇯🇵's summer sake 💕😋💕.
Good evening, Minosuke 😃.
Congratulations to Hatsuyama San for ㊗️ 🎉!
You say it's easy, but it's a great snack 😋 and Kochira's green label is so good 🤗.
It has the same specs as the green one 🟢 that was available when it was new, but apparently the yeast and rice production area have changed.
The aroma is sour and also a little greenish and fresh, like herbs.
On the palate, it is quite chili🫧.
The full-bodied flavor seeps in, and then comes a lemony, herbal, and slightly acidic taste.
After the light flavor spreads, there is a hint of bitterness, and the sensations converge at a dizzying pace.
Overall, it is quite dry.
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think it might be more refreshingly dry than the last time I tasted it. This one is delicious, too.
After the next day, it becomes more cohesive.
It becomes dry, a little bit calm and smooth. The acidity is very tasty, and the richness and bitterness gradually permeate the taste.
The sweetness does not become stronger even after a few days.
After a week or so of not drinking it for a while, the sweetness and bitterness increased.
I think I like it better if I drink it earlier, as it has a slow, light, and deliciously dry taste.
This one was also delicious!
It is refreshing with just the right amount of fruitiness. It is thick but goes smoothly. The astringent acidity gives it a sharpness. Yamae Nishiki. With grilled sausage & kraut
I'll buy it when it comes out!
YamazanI buy it when it comes out anyway!
Slight amount of gas
Mild sweetness and sourness in good balance
Bittersweet and refreshing!
15% alcohol by volume is also light.
When you open the bottle, you can hear the sound of gas escaping, a slight sweet aroma of rice.
A little acidity, a certain umami, and a little hard minerality.
The aftertaste is also a little hard.
I've heard a lot about Ueda's Yamazan recently.
I drank a little Hitogokochi light nigori a while ago, and this is the second time I've had it.
Junmai Ginjyo unfiltered unpasteurized sake made with Yamae-Nishiki.
The aroma is like tropical fruit with a mellow sweetness.
The mouthfeel is very sharp and pleasantly gaseous and refreshing, just like the Yamazan I had before.
However, the Yamae-Nishiki this time has a characteristic full-bodied rice flavor in the aftertaste, which is wonderful! The acidity and bitterness accentuate and satisfy. ✨️
I felt something that cannot be described by just an easy drinking sake☺.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
It was easy to drink and yet flavorful and I finished it quickly☺It has become a drink that I want to keep an eye on myself: ✨️
I got the "Yamazan" Yamada-Nishiki that I had longed for, and I wanted my wife to try it, so I brought it home and opened the bottle!
The aroma was not fruity, and it had a strong sake flavor. And the taste...
I don't know how to describe it...
It doesn't have the Yamadanishiki feeling (in my sense)😅
It doesn't have the Yamadanishiki No.1 feeling that I get from other brands😱It's good, but... you're setting the bar too high for yourself⁉️🤣.
When I looked at the side with a little dissatisfied face...
I was enjoying Hatsuyamazanzan with his wife saying "Yummmm" 😅.
I guess it's OK for the time being since the purpose of this visit was to let her enjoy Hatsuyamazan😅⁉️😅
Good evening, Mr. Baum 😃.
I want my wife to drink it! I love the way you feel 🥹It would have been worth it to bring it home if you could have heard 'yummy' 🤗.
It's been a while since I've had a sake that made me say "Wow! It's been a long time since I've had a sake that made me say, "Wow!
One of the liquor store's popups called it "this year's MVP"!
