What shall I do for the 555th number?
I was thinking about it when I found a notice that Yamazan's Aizan was in stock at ❗️ 💡.
I went the next day (weekday) and there were only 3 bottles left!
Maybe it's getting more popular💦.
This one is 2,640 yen, which is expensive for Yamazan!
Maybe it's because it's a pure Dai Aizan.
The bright red label looks like Aizan? ❤️
Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture, 45% polished, 16% alcohol by volume
When you remove the plastic cover and open the crown
The sound of opening the bottle is f de pon ♫
Microbubbles 🫧 when poured into a glass
The top aroma is very nice 🥰.
It has a citrusy aroma reminiscent of green apple and sourness, but also a little bit like a sake yeast.
When you put it in your mouth
Slightly? Unlike the aroma, it has a sweet taste.
...No, it is still mainly sourness. ❗️
As soon as you think that, umami spreads from both sides of the tongue, and is quickly broken by a clear bitterness.
Well done ‼️
Aizan→Converting the expectation of sweetness, this sake has a refreshing daiginjo-like aroma, but it also has nuances of umami, and is delicious in a way that is typical of Yamazan.
While there is a desire to continue drinking,
On the other hand, I have a feeling that it will become even better after a few days.
I'm looking forward to drinking it tomorrow and beyond, so I'm going to hold out with just 1 gou today!
On pic.4, I added a cherry blossom I saw at a mountain climbing I did the other day to celebrate the "Zoro-me" mark.
I added some cherry blossoms that I saw on a mountain hike the other day.
Keep your eyes peeled for more of the mountain three 👀‼️
Good evening, ymdaz!
I'm jealous of Yamasan's Aizan ❤️ ❗️ I wanted to drink this one too but I couldn't get it 😭I didn't expect it to have a clean taste 😆 I hope I can manage to get it next season 👍Your photos of the cherry blossoms🌸 are great too 🤩.
Good evening, ymdaz!
Congratulations on your 555 zoro check-in 🎉.
Yamazan, I'm quite envious of your drink right now, I'd like to drink it: ⤴️
The cherry blossoms on the mountain climb are beautiful and lovely ✨.
It's been a delicious good drinking time 😋.
ymdaz, congratulations on your Subaristo-checked zorro 🎊Aoyama in Yamasan looks delicious and I'm looking forward to it 😋The cherry blossoms that haven't bloomed yet here are also beautiful 🌸.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
I drank Yamazan ❤️
Yes, I thought it would be sweet too, but it tasted like a refreshing Yamazan: ❗️
It just came out, so if you have a chance to try it, please do: ❗️
Hi ma-ki-, hello & thank you 😃.
Yamazan, there are only a few special dealers, so you don't have many chances to meet them (I hope there will be more).
I enjoyed both cherry blossoms and Yamazan ❤️😊.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo & thank you 😊.
Did you get the Yamasan ❤️? I hope you enjoy it...
I heard on the news this morning that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Aomori...
I'm looking forward to seeing them too 😉.
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamae-Nishiki Gowari-Gobu Unfiltered Nama-Shu 720ml
Rice：Yamae-Nishiki 100% grown in Yaehara, Tomi-city, Nagano pref.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15%.
Next, we opened the bottle of Yamae-Nishiki.
Compared to Hitogokotsuki, Yamae-Nishiki has a clearer outline.
However, the impression of softness remains the same.
It is stored in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator at home. Since the weather has been getting warmer recently, the thermometer sometimes reaches about 8 degrees Celsius.
In winter, it is around 6 degrees. I don't know if it will survive the summer in the vegetable room with fresh sake.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞.
Yamasan it just keeps getting better and better😃.
So is the vegetable room, but we can't solve the problem unless we free up seats in the chiller and chilled 😓.
Hello @Mizuhashi 🐦.
I'm glad that we can compare the different colors of Yamasan in this way 😊.
I don't put fresh sake in the vegetable room anymore after I saw a guy say he put it in there 💦 but summer is the only time I don't have room for it 😥.
Hi Pon 😃.
I use a simple type of thermometer to control the temperature here and there 😄
So far the vegetable room seems to be kept at 5-9 degrees Celsius, but I'm worried about it in the summer 😟.
I do think they mature faster in the vegetable room 😓.
Yamazan Junmai Daiginjo Aizan 40%-5% unfiltered unpasteurized sake
I was not familiar with this brand,
but it was the most delicious of all the sakes we had that day,
the most delicious sake we had that day.
Fruity, sweet and refreshing!
If I see it again, I would like to buy it myself!
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Hitogochi Gowari Gobu Light Nigori Nama Shu 720ml
Rice：100% Hitogochi, grown in Yaehara, Tomi-city, Nagano pref.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15%.
We stocked Yamazan's new sake in order. If you don't buy it when you see it, it will be sold out soon.
The light nigori draft was the second shipment in December, I believe.
It is soft and silky, but the gasiness becomes more mature as it matures 💤.
It was very relaxing and delicious 😄.
Yamae Nishiki will be brought over the next day 😁.
The other day I drank at home with a couple of drinking friends 🎉Cheers to silver Yamazan ✨It's a weekday, but we drink 🥂.
We served a salad with marinated tomatoes and deep-fried eggplant, and a plate of pink grapefruit, strawberries and pineapple as hors d'oeuvres. In addition, we prepared a plate of assorted Japanese food‼️cosmetics‼️😳The filet mignon sandwich was delicious😍.
For the main course we had 3 kinds of pizza 🍕 and dessert was ice cream and dacquoise 🍨.
The fresh sweetness, hidden bitterness and a hint of spiciness were just right and really easy to drink 🎊.
I heard that there are still other colors of Yamazan available 😍I'm looking forward to it ‼️
And the second bottle... 🤭
Hi Pekho 😀
I am so jealous of Yamazan's light nigori 😇
I finally couldn't find it on my recent trip to Ueda 🤣.
This year they finally opened a store in Osaka that carries it, so I'm looking forward to it 😀.
Yasbay 😍Hello ‼️ I also want to thank my friend who brought this drink for our drinking party 🙏 We were all talking about other series we would like to try ✨go to the store in Osaka 👍🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Pekho!
Weekday drinking for a couple of sake drinkers in Saitama 😁✨.
The food looks delicious and the topic of conversation, Yamazan, is the best time to drink with like minded drinking buddies 😋.
Yamazan is a drink I suddenly want to drink 😊.
ma-ki-San💕Good evening‼️we are weekday party drinkers 🤭Yamazan is delicious and we are all addicted to it👍.
In fact, yesterday, the last weekday, we all brought our own alcohol and drank 💦we must drink on weekdays lol ‼️
Hi Pekho 🐦.
I'm jealous of your very popular Yamasan light nigori - 😻 nigori! And the filet mignon sandwich ❣️ I do that for lunchtime drinking too and it goes surprisingly well 😁.
The label is so clear it almost looks like wine 😆.
First time! We opened a bottle of Yamazan🎉.
Yamazan, which is rapidly gaining popularity at Sakegawa, is a brewery I've been very interested in trying 😆.
We were lucky enough to be able to get a bottle, and now it's finally time to serve it: ✌️
Yamazan is a brewery that once closed down and newly reopened in 2023. ☺️
I wonder what kind of sake the young brewer brews with less than 2 years of experience 🤔.
Well, I'll have some 🥂.
First of all, don't mix the orikashi.
There is not much aroma.
Gentle sweetness spreads in the mouth, with a pleasant gaseous sensation from the mid-palate.
The second half is full of sourness, with a lingering sweet and sourness at the end, which quickly fades away.
Mixing the cage
The aroma remains the same.
The mouthfeel is a little creamy and mild.
The gasiness and the sweet and sour taste that finishes with a final squeak remain the same.
This is brilliantly delicious 😋😋😋.
Too perfect ‼️
It's a little hard to believe that this took 2 years to make 🫢.
The final sizzling sweet and sour taste was just so impressive😍.
No spiciness or bitterness, easy to drink.
Not too sweet, so it can be a food wine 👌.
Great job, Yamasan🙌!
No wonder everyone raves about it 🥰.
I want to try many more: ❣️
Oh man, more breweries to chase 🤣.
Hina Hana Mama
Good morning♪
Oh, wow! Hatsuyama San 🤩 is delicious, isn't it 🤤?
It's true that it's hard to catch up when you have more favorite sake 😅.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 🌞Congratulations on your first Yamasan 🥳I'm most like to drink light pink Yamasan right now 🥰It's like the middle of my sweet and sour taste 🤤💕It's very hard to get 😅.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
Congratulations on your first Yamasan 🎉.
By the way, this review looks delicious 😋.
I have symptoms of wanting to drink 🤣.
I'd love to taste the last cu so I'll be sure to take you out if I come across it ✊.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama! Congratulations on getting Yamazan 🎉Yamazan's toji, although young, worked at Hakurei in Kyoto for 7 years and was also the head of production 🎉I am looking forward to brewing this season at the revived brewery 😋.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😀
Congratulations on your first Yamasan: ㊗️
I too drank out of the store, but unfortunately there were no stores in the Kansai area that carried it until recently 😅.
Finally, they started to carry it recently so I'm looking forward to it😇.
HinaHanaMama 🌸Congrats on your Yamasan 🎉It's delicious! I wonder if the different colors on the labels make a big difference in taste 🧐, makes me want to have a colorful assortment 🌈✨I'm looking forward to seeing more from this brewery 🙌!
Hi Kozo-san 😃Thank you for your comment 😃I finally went to Yamasan! Kozo-san uploaded it the other day 👌It's really delicious 🥰I'd like to try other drinks but they are hard to find 😭.
Hi Nao888😃Thank you for your comment 😃If you are going to drink Yamasan for the first time, it is light pink 🩷😏I was aiming for the same ☝️, light pink was the right choice ❗️ light pink of sweet and sour, good luck with getting it 🙏.
Hi ma-ki-, thanks for your comment 😃Thanks for your comment 😃I hope you can experience the last squeaky sweet and sour sensation ❣️ it really squeaks together 🤩you'll want to drink it 😆 Please drink it 🥰.
Hi Nemuchi 😃Thank you for your comment...I see! I didn't study hard enough 🤣Thank you for letting me know 😊But Yamazan, you are on a very high level 🥰.
Hi Yasbaye 😃Thank you for your comment...awesome! I'm glad you started to deal with Yamasan 😆 light pink 🩷 is light nigori, so I think Yasbaye would like it too 🥰Please try Yamasan ❣️
Hi HinaHanaMama, ☀️
This pink Yamasan🩷 is delicious 🤤I had some the other day 🙌It has a gentle spring-like sweetness and freshness that makes me want to drink more and more 🥳.
I hope there will be more stores that carry it 😂!
Good evening, Kotaro 😄Thank you for your comment... I also checked Kotaro's Yamasan review and wanted to get the light pink 🩷 👍I'm really hoping to find a store that carries it and in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure if it's possible 💦.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃!
Congratulations on your first Yamae Nishiki pink 🎉The green one is also good, but the Yamae Nishiki is really good 😋 I want to drink it again 😙.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😄Thanks for your comment... light pink🩷 got me 🎯.
I'm also interested in Aizan ❤️, but green💚 will be my first choice for my next target 🫡.
But first I have to find a dealer😅
Good morning, ymdaz, and thank you for your comment.
Yamazan, it was delicious 😋I can see why you are addicted to it ❣️It seems that each label has a different taste 😆I am also interested in Aizan ❤️ 🥰.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
Congratulations on your Yamasan debut: ㊗️🎉
Creamy, mild, sweet and sour, I'm drooling 🤤.
I was a green🟢debut and now I want to drink pink🩷 too ☺️
Hi Maru, Good evening 😄Thanks for your comment 😄Yamasan, it's quite surprisingly tasty and addicting 😆I'd love to try the green🟢 too ❣️ The light pink🩷 is sweet and sour and tastes great for sweet and sour lovers🥰.
HinaHanaMama, congrats on your first sanzan 🎉!
I like your first nigori 😻 and I'm even more jealous that the label is pink🩷😆 I'm really having a hard time with the number of Ozo I want to chase 😂.
Hi Pon-chan, thanks for your comment 😃I realize how much I like nigori 😍 light pink 🩷 is also pretty, and if you add nigori to it, I think it's the only way to go ☝️ 🥰.
Good morning, hinahana mama 😃.
Congratulations on your first Hatsusanzan 🎉.
This brewery has such a history 🧐.
But to come up with this flavor in just 2 years.
That's amazing 😳
This is a brewery that I want to support👍
Hi shinsaku3 😃
Thank you for your comment 😃.
Yamasan, I can see why you are so high level and popular 🥰 I also wanted to support you ☺️ I hope you can get a souvenir at the next race in Nagano 🤗.
After drinking Hitogokochi at home and coming to a corner bar
What a fateful encounter with Aizan!
The aroma is gorgeous, just like Aizan!
When you put it in your mouth, the luxurious rice aroma, umami and fruity taste peculiar to Aizan spread with a slight effervescence.
The finish, including the lingering aftertaste, is wonderful!
I have a glass of Yamasan, which I opened a while ago.
The moderate fizziness and milky taste are well balanced.
The sweetness and umami are well balanced, and the finish is clean and spicy. A very well made sake.
First time ㊗️ mountain3🎉
Sweet and bitter, delicious 🩷I'm feeling good about bitter drinks lately 😊.
Today we have tai chikuwa with cream cheese on top, chicken with yuzu kosho flavored with shiso leaves, braised and fried green peppers for chopstick rest, 2 cheese pizza 💖.
The bitterness of Yamasan goes well with the bitterness of vegetables such as shiso leaves and green peppers, and I felt that pairing them together conversely made the vegetables more aromatic! It would certainly be perfect for aromatic vegetables ‼️ It also enhances the aroma of the sesame oil I fried the peppers in 🧐Vegetables and bitterness, I see 👍.
Tonight's pizza at our house is without tomato sauce as requested by my husband 🤭just olive oil, cheese, salt, pepper and maple syrup 🩷It's hard to choose between the acidic alcohol and cheese or the bitter alcohol and cheese 😋I love cheese and they are both delicious 😋.
I'm in charge of shinsake3 for impressions of the alcohol by itself💕.
Good evening, Pheho😄!
Congratulations on your first Yamasan㊗️ I have a different Yamasan waiting in my fridge too😆 I can see how the bitterness would go well with the fussy veggies⁉️ I can understand 😍Maple syrup on pizza is another novelty 🧐I'd like to try it❣️
HinaHanaMama🩷Good evening! It was really easy to drink and tasty, I went on and on 😊I'm looking forward to another Yamasan ‼️ in the fridge 😍what will you pair it with💕I was under the impression that Nagano was sour and dry, so it was very fresh ✨.
Good evening, Pekho 😀
I was able to get this sake on my recent trip to Nagano😇
I haven't opened the bottle yet, but after reading your comment, I think it would go well with the cheese wasabi I bought in Nagano, so I will try it when I drink it 😀.
Yasbay 🌸Good evening 🌸‼️ I see you have a fridge waiting 👍I think cheese wasabi is the best 🙌 looking forward to it 😍I tried a lot of things and I still think that the bitter type is generally better with food than the sour type 🧐.
Hi Pekho 🐦.
Sweet and bitter is delicious 🙏❣️ I just have a hard time deciding what to pair it with💦Cheese is the iron plate! I like both sweet and bitter and cheese, so don't be afraid to try it with Italian and other food... always helpful 😊🙏🙏.
Ponchan 💕 indeed sweet and bitter delicious! Is it a boom? Is it just in my house? I realize that 🤭but I think it's easier to pair with meals than sour ones! I think it would go well with Italian cheese and seafood 😍I'm not sure about sour tomatoes. That's a 🧐 challenge 👍.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
This sake was given to me by a colleague at work 🍶.
It's Hatsuyama San 😃.
According to the online information.
"Soft and fresh aroma with a fruity, grape-like sweetness. It is fruity, but also has a strong sense of rice flavor, making it mellow and deep. It has a clean and crisp aftertaste and is very suitable as a food sake.
According to the brewer, "It is very suitable as a food sake.
It is delicious. ❣️😋
The sweet and delicious taste spreads in the mouth, but is quickly followed by an unctuous bitterness that is crisp and clean.
That's my impression 😋.
It's hard to stop sipping 👍
I had it chilled.
Pairing impressions were made by Pekho-san
Here are my personal impressions
Aroma
Sweet and delicious aroma.

The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)

Bigger number = thicker and richer
(5 is the maximum)
Good evening, shinsaku3!
I was also able to obtain this sake on a recent trip to Nagano, where there are no stores near me and it is difficult to find it 😇.
I'm looking forward to having it now as it's quite highly rated 😀.
Good evening, shinsaku3!
First time! Congratulations to Yamasan🎊㊗️
It's very popular at Sake-no-wa these days, isn't it? I'm curious about it too and have it in the fridge waiting for its turn🤣It's sweet and bitter 🥰I'm even more excited to drink it❣️
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃
I also looked at the website after receiving it and found out that there is only one store in Saitama that carries it, so I realized that it is a very difficult sake to obtain 😅.
It was delicious and I will drink it with care 😃.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Thank you 😊
I want to get a stock too, so I'll go buy some 🚗😅.
The brand I got this time was good, the sweet and tasty spread was impressive at the moment I drank it👍.
Hello shinsaku3!
Yamazan-san is getting a blast from the international J&N standards with its ridiculously delicious taste! Congratulations on your first drink ㊗️ 🎉I haven't tasted the Kinmon Nishiki from here 🥲 but I'm sure it's delicious👍.
Congratulations on your first drink, shinsaku3!
Kinmon-nishiki looks delicious 🤔I was looking at ❣️ and thought it might be more to my liking than the Yamae-nishiki I drank 🤔I would like to try it!
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
Thank you 😊
I see that the international J &N standards are also highly regarded: ❣️
Thanks to my colleague for bringing it to me as it was a totally unmarked liquor!
