Kinmonnishiki Junmai Ginjo
Unfiltered raw sake
This one is fire-aged.
The aroma is reminiscent of grapes.
Very rich and juicy.
Sweet and umami with a core of sweetness, just like the original sake.
Slight bitterness and acidity at the end.
The slight bitterness and acidity in the last part of the taste make the whole taste layered.
Complex and delicious, yet clear at the end.
Kiri (sharpness) and gentle aftertaste.
Excellent sake!

Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki Unfiltered Nama Sake
Yamazan Shuzo has been talked about a lot since last year. I was curious about it, so I bought it. The aroma is not rich. The first sip gave it a gentle sweetness similar to that of Urasato, which uses Ogawa yeast. What is different from Urasato is that Yamazou has a richer rice flavor. It exudes a wildness, but disappears leaving behind a sourness. I am not sure if the wildness is due to the unfiltered raw sake or the taste of Yamasan, but I quite liked this rich rice flavor. The rice used for this sake was Kinmon-nishiki, but I would like to try other types.
Degree of liking 10/10
It is not on the menu, but they recommended this one as well. The local Yama-san tasted wonderful.
A blend of Yamae Nishiki and Hitogokochi blossoms.
Full of grapes🎵
But not too sweet, pleasant, soft, and capped off with acidity...
I can only sigh 😮💨. It was lovely.
I'm sleepy today 😪 because I watched Matsuyama win the bronze medal on ⛳🏌️♂️ after a few drinks.
I can never go wrong with Yamazan 🤩.
When I took a sip, I thought it was a little too refreshing, but as I continued drinking, the sweetness started to kick in, followed by the tangy acidity of the unfiltered sake, leaving a clean aftertaste and a well-balanced sweet and sour taste ❕🥰.
It was the first time for me to enjoy such a quick change in taste from the first sip.
It is so good that I have another bottle in the fridge. 🤣

Hi, this is Lord. I was very happy to see Matsuyama win the bronze medal! I thought it was going to be a battle between the British athletes and Matsuyama, so I was drinking Nikka whisky at that time (^_^;) (I also enjoy non-Japanese sake).
Good morning, Aura of Hama.
I was cheering for the volleyball game yesterday, but I was shocked at the upset loss 😱.
Yesterday I was drinking shochu, so I guess I should have had sake to get into the mood 🤣.

Sake brewing resumed in February 2023 after a dormant period in 2015. This time, Shinji Ogiwara, a brewer who runs a company selling amusement platform products, and Yuki Kurihara, a toji who was engaged in sake brewing for 7 years at Hakurei Sake Brewery, were there.
Sanada Rokubun Sen.
This is a brand that originally existed, but this sake seems to be unreleased. It has a retro label and a very classical atmosphere, but it has a very fruity acidity.
Yamazanzo Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Namaeshiki
Slightly gassy, slightly sweet, and refreshingly sweet. Slightly modern. A delicious sake that disappears quickly.
Yamazami Shisui Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Namaeshiki
It has a fruity, refreshing sweet and sour taste with a modern feel.
The toji seemed to be very concerned about the reaction of the customers since he brought a junmai-daiginjo class sake, but it was very tasty.
Home brewing at Saito Sake Brewery
This is the first time I have had Yamae Nishiki.
The aroma is refreshing❀. (*´▽`*)❀.
Light in summer, it goes well with summer vegetables!
Goes well with cold tomatoes, grilled Kamo eggplant, and flatfish carpaccio❤.
I want to chase it with different sake rice.
I want to try different sake rice and enjoy it in various ways 🥰.
Recommended by the store because I like New Deal's wines - and it was really good! Great for drinking at home, goes well with a little spicy Hunan food!
Today, a familiar sake seller recommended Yamasan❗️ "If you haven't had it yet, this❗️ is the one, and this year there are no more bottles in the brewery. This is the last of the bottles they have here too." He recommended that I buy two more sake bottles, but since I had already chosen to buy two more sake bottles without a shugobottle, I bought a shugobottle this time: ❗️
The aroma is slightly fruity and sweet❗️ sip and you get a slight tingling and pungency on your tongue followed by a soft fruity sweet aroma that passes through your nose❗️ interesting❗️ I would like to drink more of this brewery's raw sake that shows the true essence of the sake❤️
