Kinjaku Junmai Ginjo Jyunmai Yamahai by Horie Shaba
It is one of the most difficult to obtain sake, with only a small production volume, and when it appears on store shelves, it is immediately sold out.
It is brewed with water from the Nishiki River, which has been selected as one of the 100 best water sources, and using techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation since the middle of the Edo period.
While maintaining traditional sake brewing, we have also taken on the challenge of new possibilities, and our "Premium Kinjaku" won the highest trophy in the Junmai Daiginjo category at the "International Wine Challenge (IWC)".
It has won the world's top prize for two consecutive years.
The IWC judges commented that Kinjaku Junmai Daiginjo is "clean, juicy, and fruity with a touch of savory finish and a good balance of acidity and sharpness.
This "Kinjaku Junmai Ginjyo Densho Yamahai" has the mellow flavor of Yamahai brewing, with an elegant and clean aroma and sweetness.
It is a gem with a pleasant light aftertaste.

Kinjaku - Inherited Yamahai Zozo Classics No.5
We had a glass of this precious sake, which is rarely drunk outside of our hometown.
It tasted sweet and elegant! Delicious!
Golden Chun🐣 I love bird sparrows, so the name is good!
◾️ Golden Sparrow: fresh, melon-based. Very put together.
◾️ Chiebijin: back. Slightly sparkling light nigori. They say they are particular about rice polishing ratio 70%.
◾️ Dharma Masamune: caramel? Caramel? Guts!
Kinjaku Junmai Ginjo Hiden Hagakure Nama Hashiro.
This is the first time to try Kinjaku's Namahashiroshi.
It has an apple-like heady aroma and a cool gassy feeling. It has a fruity sweetness like concentrated honey apple on the tongue with a thick texture, and on the other hand, it has a lactic acidity and umami that is typical of the sake's yeast. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter with a lingering acidity that continues lightly.
With its cool and light aftertaste, it is a new world of a perfect summer sake!
This time, we luxuriously compared Kinjaku's Namahashira and Yamahai.
This Yamahai has a gaseous feeling like the Namahashi, and it has a similar image of spreading apple flavor, but it has a thicker apple sweetness than the Namahashi, and the overall image is sweeter.
I prefer Yamahai because it leaves a lingering aftertaste of rich apple sweetness.
I would like to drink this sake every year.
This time, we will compare two luxurious Kinjaku wines, Namahashio and Yamahai.
If I were to describe it in one word, it tastes like an apple.
I like this sake very much because it has a gaseous taste with the image of apple flavor spreading.

This is the long-awaited Yamahai.
As usual, it is dense like apple honey and the aftertaste is tangy and too delicious!
I recommend it if you have a chance to drink it.

This was the Kinjaku of the day.
It has been about 1 hour and 10 minutes since the start.
My memory is gradually getting fuzzy...
Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😀 ☀️😀
Daigo's all you can drink is the best 😚👍✨I'm jealous 🤩Kinjaku is not something you can drink around here 😋 I'll look forward to seeing more 🫡.
Hi Gyve, good evening 🌇.
Hmmm 🤔 the menu is always stocked so I might not have posted it 😉.
Last time I'm pretty sure they served 2 kinds of golden sparrows 😁.
I think if you ask the waiter you'll get a variety 😃.
Thank you for your comment, fukuchane😊I'm really lucky that my favorite store carries it...if you see it, please drink it and let me know what you think. ✨️
