Rice used: Hitogokochi Polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15
This sake has a fruity aroma like melon with a carbonated taste and a light nigori (light nigori) taste with the umami and sweetness of rice.
A local store started carrying Yamasan, so I picked up a bottle of the light nigori from the lineup and had it 😙.
It's a popular brand at Sake-no-wa, so it's juicy and delicious 😆.
It's going to be one of my favorites!
I will try other Yamasan again!

Yamazan Sparkling ❣️
Fire-brewed, but quite shwashy~!
P○°.
The aroma is lychee-like, with a good balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness😍👍.
Delicate and clear, but still fizzy and perfect for summer ✌️😋
It has a light and refreshing taste, and you can drink it in two days 🎶.
Not related to alcohol, but I went for a drive in Iwate 🚗³₃.
I went to Hanamaki-Higashi High School😊.
On the artificial turf baseball field, the girls baseball team was playing against the senior little league boys 😁.
They were winning well 😅strong girls 💪.
Afterwards, we went to a popular Machuuka restaurant near the high school ✨.
The food tastes great, but the portions are huge 💦.
I don't know if Otani went there, but the amount of food is unbearable for a high school student 🙂 💕︎
Sanmaa noodle, it was hot 😅
Fried chicken is so good❣️
Hello T.KISO😃!
Oh! You're early for the Yamasan Spark‼️👍It seems to be quite popular and we're in a hurry to get our hands on one 😰.
Probably unrelated 😅There is also a popular ramen shop in Utsunomiya called "Ippinka"!
Hi T.KISO, ☀️
I see everyone is drinking this sparkling one after another 😆The sourness and bitterness of this sparkling wine looks delicious 🤤I also bought one the other day and am looking forward to opening it 🎶.
When I hear "Hanamaki", I think of hot springs ♨️ 😚.
T.KISO, good evening 😃We have it at home too, Yamasan Sparkling👍I enjoyed it immensely‼️ Hanamaki-Higashi has a banner in front of it with Shohei Otani and Yusei Kikuchi, it's a sight to behold. I visited there before 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I've been trying to find a place near me to buy Yamazan, but the timing wasn't quite right 😭 Finally, I got my Spark👍.
I was surprised when I looked up the name of the store on the internet because they are all over the place 😳I don't think any of them have anything to do with it😁.
Good evening, Kotaro😄.
Have you already purchased it? I'm looking forward to it 🎶.
Hanamaki is famous for its hot springs ♨️, but in summer it's still Hanamaki-Higashi ⚾️ lol
Good evening, Wakata!
Oh! Have you already purchased this one too ❣️ I'm looking forward to it 🎶!
I was surprised to see how nice the school's sports building is, even more than the banner 😳The classroom building is much smaller 🤣.
Yamazan Aizan Junmai Daiginjo 40%5% Unfiltered Nama-shu
Sake rice: Aizan, Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 45
Alcohol percentage 16
We opened the bottle of Aizan, which was delivered by Shimizuya in May.
The first sip is sweet, but it has an elegant sweetness that does not linger. It is not flashy, but it is a clear and luxurious sake.
I'm going to open a lot of bottles, conveniently telling myself that I'll recharge my power with delicious sake to get through the hot day😅.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi!
Aizan from Yamazan - my first Yamazan was this one and I loved it so much 😋.
Hmph 😁I'm going to tell myself to open a bottle for my own convenience🤗.
Hi ma-ki-😃.
Ai San start is awesome 🫢.
San San, it's hard to keep up with the fast pace now that the world knows how tasty and cost-effective it is 😅.
Thanks to you, there are a few empty seats in the fridge 😄.
The love for Yamazan never stops🤍🤎.
I saw the announcement that Yamazan's first sparkling was in stock.
I went to buy it the next day and it was the last bottle 😳.
I heard a lot of people were buying in bulk.
It was bad😅
The bottle is now thicker because it's sparkling
The stopper also changed to a screw cap.
It was the first time to have white letters on the bottle
Yamae-Nishiki 55% polished, 15% alcohol by volume
The sound when the bottle is opened is "mf".
I thought the gas was relatively mild.
When poured into a glass, there are a lot of big bubbles
Lots of big bubbles 🫧.
Oh, it's a little bit cloudy.
The upper aroma is muscat-like.
It has a little bit of a twangy feeling due to the gas.
When I drank it, I found it to be Yamazan ‼️
Not too sweet, but quite dry.
The balance of sweetness and sourness is typical of Yamazan.
But you may feel a strong bitterness due to the gas...
I had a strong impression of the carbonation.
It was hard to taste it, so I will try again tomorrow. ❗️
2nd day
Kamitachika has a little bit of melon flavor.
Not as sweet as melon, more like watermelon.
Taste continues to be dry 😅
Bitterness is a little bit gone.
The taste of Yamae Nishiki is coming out, but it is still very gassy.
It is still very gassy.
I think it would be better to leave it a little longer.
This is delicious, but the timing of when to drink it
It's hard to find the right timing for drinking 😭
(More on that later 😉)
Good evening, ymdaz!
I got this one the other day too 😆 I'm looking forward to the sparkling, but with the typical Yamazan flavor................................do you feel like I should leave it a little while after opening? I'm not sure 🧐.
Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
Yamasan has an exquisite taste of chili-like, clear, sweet and sour, but I felt that the stronger the gas, the harder it would be to appreciate its goodness!
Please try it right after opening the bottle and then let it sit for a little while 😊.
Hi yamadaz 😃
I'm really interested in this Yamasan Spark 😍I've seen it on social networking sites like ‼️ and I think it's just right for us dry lovers 😋I have to go buy it first 😅.
Day 4 (3rd station) after 1 day of rest
The gas subsides moderately and the taste of lactic acidity is added.
The gas subsides moderately and the lactic acid taste takes over, changing the taste to a very delicious one: ‼️
I'm sure I'll be a repeat buyer once I get to know this one 😆.

My favorite Yamazan has sparkling!
Firm bubbles and body. High in alcohol content, fruity but with a bitter taste. I wish they would make it a regular item.
Slightly chili, with a melon-like muscat peel aroma and a firm rice sweetness deliciousness juicy with a lingering string of bitterness that disappeared 😆 I love Yamasan too and have become a fan 😋🫶.
Where to buy 🍶: Sakeho Shimizuya Sakuhira Store
Good morning, catpunchS closing M!
I can see why you are a fan of Yamazan 🤗.
I've only had Aizan and it was shocking 😋.
Yamada Nishiki looks delicious too 🤤.
I like Aizan 😆 I would like to try it 😍This is my second bottle of Yamazan with Yamae-nishiki, but I felt that Yamada-nishiki is more balanced and drinkable with a beautiful mouthfeel. I was surprised to find such a brewery in Ueda city 🫢.
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Gowari Gobun Unfiltered Unrefined Unrefined.
The aroma is relatively well-balanced, with a melon-like aroma.
When you taste it, you will be pleasantly surprised by its rich umami and sweetness, followed by a gentle acidity.
The delicate and elegant taste spreads, and in the mid-palate, a slight bitterness from the back combines with the acidity, making it a perfect match for food.
The lingering bitterness and sweetness are gradually felt, and the drink goes down slowly.
This is a brand that really has great value from the first lot.
In addition to Shinshu Kamerei, we also compared Yamazan. I drank so much wine that the waiter said, "Well, you have to drink this one, too," and we were in a luxurious playful state.
The color of the label may be pulling you in, but the juiciness and acidity, like kiwi, is pleasant.
I like Yamasan ⛰️⛰️⛰️ and drink it all the time, but this is my first time to try the light nigori. Now, how does it taste?
I can feel the deep taste of rice🌾. And the gasiness. It's so crispy. It's delicious... Surprisingly, even though it's a light nigori, it finishes with a clear and refreshing feeling.
I wonder if I'll have another batch of this 😆👍.
Since it is fire-aged, the aroma is subdued, but on the palate it has a juicy sweetness like pear and a smooth texture.
Is it sweeter than the standard Junmai Ginjo?
As it approaches room temperature, the sweetness and acidity increase, so you can enjoy the slow change.
However, it tends to be drunk quickly because it has no peculiarities and has a beautiful sake quality...
If you have room in your refrigerator, I would like to have a bottle of this brand.
Good evening, Sake angler!
I got this one the other day too 🎵
I'm going to enjoy it slowly and carefully with temperature changes based on the reviews 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki-!
Oh, yes, I think you'll love it, ma-ki!
I think it's hard to enjoy it slowly because you can gobble it up so fast... but take your time and enjoy it 😋.
The alcohol content is 15%, but you can feel the firm strength of the alcohol. The moderate acidity is pleasant.
Polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 15%.
