Purchased at Takekuma Sake Shop in Kawasaki. They started new sales last December and I got the long awaited Yamasan 😆😆😆 Uitate is light with a fruity ginjo aroma. Despite the light aroma, when you drink it, you can taste the richness and sweetness of the rice 🌾. The richness of Kinmon-nishiki or 🤔 there is almost no effervescence but it has a tangy freshness of new sake. It retains a moderate acidity, bitterness, and a full-bodied sweetness. It is not modern, but rather classical, and is a solid sake 😇😇The sweetness comes through as the temperature rises. The entrée was yose-nabe with salted broth 🍲◯Other entrées were good 😂.
Hello Waccho😃!
Congratulations on your long-awaited first Yamazan㊗️ 🎉We also had a Yamae Nishiki the other day and found out again how delicious it is 🤗.
Jun-gin followed by jun-dai
Both are lightly nigori
I like clean sake, but I especially like light nigori
The sake is well polished so there is no bitterness!

This is the last of the 2023 rice produced in September 2024.
The last two bottles were sold at the liquor store last November. We opened the bottle because we had accumulated a lot of new Yamazan shinshu. The shape of the bottle made me wonder if it would blow out, but it was fine.
Silky and slightly effervescent, what a luxurious sake.
But why the lid?
Yes, I finished it 😅.
This is a seasonal sake, usunogori (cloudy sake).
I'm a big fan of this brewery and always amazed by its very fragrant and fruity sake.
This is also very fragrant and fruity.
As for the representative brewery in Ueda City, you might think of Shinshu Kirei.
But, Yamasan is as good as it and no wonder this represents Ueda's sake or Nagano's sake.
First Yamazan Shuzo's light nigori.
It had a refreshing gasiness, a fruity mouthfeel, and a quality finish that could not be imagined from the cosmetics.
Today's meal was a hometown blowfish 🐡.
But then I realized I didn't have any sake.
I went to the nearest liquor store.
There it was, Yamazan ❗️
Thank goodness there are only 5 special dealers in Tokyo‼️
Hitogokochi 55% polished, 15% alcohol by volume
Nagano sake is Hitogokochi!
I'm looking forward to seeing how it is!
Remove the plastic cover and open the bottle.
When the crown is opened, the sound of opening the bottle is mp and spot on!
I think it's modest for a draft sake.
First of all, it is a cold sake.
Pour it into a glass.
It's very light cloudy and slightly white.
Microbubbles at the bottom of the glass
The top aroma is a mix of citrus and green apple
When you drink it, you will see
The sourness and freshness of the unpasteurized sake is totally refreshing.
But the sweetness is just right, so it's really easy to drink.
It's really easy to drink!
The bitterness is also present in the last part.
I wonder if it's okay to do this with such a junmai ginjo...
I was wondering if I could do it with such a junmai ginjo...
Slowly put the seared fillet into the sake and wait for 3 minutes...
The slightly brown-colored fillet sake
A little spiciness is added to the sake.
The flavor of the fillet and the savory aroma are added to the sake.
Blissful deliciousness 😆.
Unlike the typical Honjozo or Junmai Hire Sake, which has a strong flavor, the Ginjo's clean taste was also quite pleasing 😘.
