It has a gaseous and refreshing taste!
I remember Hitogokochi as a relatively calm sake rice, and the taste is just as it should be.
However, it also has a good umami taste, and it wraps up the fatty texture of the snacks well!
I felt that the Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki🧡 I had previously had did not have the Yamasan feel to it, so I thought I would pass on this one.
However, I saw a post on Sake-no-wa that said it looked delicious, so I went out and got it!
The aroma is rummy and citrus?
When you include it, it is sizzlingly rummy, rice sweet and full of fruity richness! The forest-like feeling that I often get from Yamazan(?) I think it's a bit thin. 🤔Refreshing as always✨
It's not about which flavor, but the overall taste.
I don't think it's a matter of which flavor, but rather the image of the whole being condensed. I felt this at the time of Aizan too.
I appreciate the balance of sweet and tasty without being heavy. I enjoyed it both during the meal and on its own.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the food 😚 I was thinking about it as I read this 👍! I read your post thinking 👍
I'm not sure if it's Yamae Nishiki💚 or Hitogokochi🩶 this year 🤣.
Yamazan Junmai Daiginjyo Yamae-Nishiki 40%5% Light Nigori Nama-Shu
Rating 4.4
The taste is a "light nigori" with a slight effervescence that gives the impression that the rice has been thoroughly dissolved in water, and is characterized by a very deep freshness that is typical of this brewery. The fruity flavor starts with a refreshing taste of "mint," which is unique to the rice used to make it, and continues with a deep "melon" flavor.
The balance between roundness and freshness is good, but the convergence may be a little bitter.
I've got some 🫶.
It's like having a mouth full of autumn fruits with too much balance of sweetness, acidity, bitterness and gas... 🤤Almonds, 🍐? I love Yuki Kurihara's evergreen 🫰🥰Shinshu Kamerei was frustrating~! I'm going to Ueda again.
The bottle was opened with a pop!
Refreshing aroma like sweet fruit!
First, the top clearings!
A freshness that you wouldn't expect from a 2 year old 🎶.
Delicious 🤩!
Umami, sweetness, and acidity are exquisite, refreshing, and very clean 😊.
Mixing the lees adds a full-bodied sweetness and umami from the rice and mellows it out!
Yamasan is delicious and never misses 😍.
A sake party at my house with Mr. and Mrs. Wakata, who are usually good friends of mine 🍶 Yuki's "Do you want to drink Yamasan?
Yuki's sweet temptation of "Do you want to drink Yamasan? and "I'll take care of your children's book report" by Mr. Wakata 🤣. I was so happy to be able to meet him and his wife.
I can't buy Yamasan myself, so I'm very happy 😊.
It has a gentle sweet and sour taste with a hint of melon🍈 and a slight bitterness, so it's easy to drink.
It's so delicious 😋.
After that, we drank a bottle of Takashimizu packaged sake brought by Yuki (which was easy to drink and bad 😅) and a bottle we offered from our house, and we became very tongue-tied 🤣.
Thank you Yuki and Wakata for your help. Thank you very much 🙇.
Thanks to you, my son's book report was a grade school representative👍.
Good morning, Maru 😃.
I love this 🩷labeled Yamasan, too: ❣️
Maru and Mr. and Mrs. Wakata are good friends 🙂 ☺️ great job on your book report and representing your grade 🙌 congratulations to your son and Wakata 💖!
Thank you, HinaHanaMama: ☀️
Yamasan is very tasty, isn't it? I know you drink a lot too 😊.
Thanks Wakata-san and Yuki-san for always taking care of me 😁.
Hi Maru, I'm with you 😃.
It's nice to have a great relationship going back and forth to each other's 🏠! I'm sure it's great to be on the receiving end of an invitation to do a book report 📖 for the adults and the kids 🍶 for the adults 🍶 and the kids 📖 😇 Sounds fun... I wonder if you wrote it while drinking 😆.
Good evening, Maru-san!
I can see the fun you are having at Maru-san's house 😊I'm interested in the Yamasan, but I'm also interested in the packaged sake 🙂 Was it the one Yuki-san was drinking at the BBQ the other day? I'm sure it's the one Yuki was drinking at the BBQ the other day 😆.
Congratulations to your son & waka-chan 😳!
Maru-san, good evening 🌙
This Yamasan is delicious 🤤I remember Wakata-san saying this was his favorite too 😚It didn't end with a fun drinking party, your son represented his school year at ‼️ you did a great job 🥳It's nice to have the whole family together 🙌🎉
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌕.
The packaged sake is the one that Yuki talked about at the BBQ and bouken was very interested in 🤣 then bouken got it safely 😄.
My son is great, but Wakata-san is amazing 🤩.
Good evening, Kotaro🌕.
Yamasan, it is really delicious! I like 🟢 as well, but 🩷 is also quite delicious 😋.
I am always grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wakata and Yuki for all their help and support 😊.
The love for Yamasan never stops: ‼️
Just when you thought new products seemed to have stopped since the sparkling, two 2 year olds from the first vintage (Hatsuyuki <Hitogochi no Jungin> and Yamasumi <Yamae Nishiki no Jun Dai>) have come out 😳.
But it seems there were only a few bottles and I was only able to buy one of the Yamae Nishiki Jundai 😭.
Yamae Nishiki 50% polished, 15% alcohol by volume
I took off the plastic cover and thought I'd replace the stopper...,
Wow!
With a popping sound of "ff", the stopper came off by itself.
the plastic cover and the bottle stopper came off by itself!
Is this really fire-aged for 2 years? 😳
The top aroma is rummy to green apple 🍏.
When you pour it into a glass, you can't believe that it's fire-aged for 2 years 🫧.
The bubbles are finer than the sparkling I had the other day and this one has a better gas quality.
(If you're interested, compare it to ymdaz's past check-ins)
The drink.
Mouthfeel is sweet and full.
Wonderfully rich for a Yamasan😍.
And yet it's also very carbonated.
It has a fresh sourness
The bitterness you feel at the same time is good ❗️ really good ‼️
Don't get me wrong.
In ymdaz's opinion, it's the strongest of Yamazan's ‼️
I should have bought another bottle of this one‼️
Hi ymdaz 😃
I saw on social media that the tutoring drinks were up! I didn't know there were that few bottles 😰I should have been there earlier 😓No misunderstanding though 🧐I doubt there are any left 🥲.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I think it's getting harder and harder to find it at existing dealers due to the number of new dealers - I'm not sure if there are any left!
If you have any left, please try it ☺️
Good evening, ymdaz 🌙
Wow, this looks so good - it was worth the run to the liquor store after seeing ‼️ social networking sites 😍I'm looking forward to opening it 🤤.
Good morning, Kotaro-san 😃.
It's a slightly refreshing Yamazan, but it's aged for 2 years and has a deep and delicious flavor. ‼️
I'm looking forward to your review.
Yamazan is one of my favorite sakes, but it is hard to find... Recently, I checked the Instagram of a liquor store I often visit and found information that it would be in stock on Friday! Since I can only go there on Saturdays and Sundays, I visited the store half expecting and half giving up, but luckily there was only one bottle left. I asked the clerk about the aroma of old sake, which I am not very fond of, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that there was no such aroma. I bought it immediately!
When I opened it, there was a rather loud popping sound! Fortunately, it didn't blow out, but there was still quite a bit of fizziness. It is a light cloudy sake.
The aroma is quite subdued with a sweet fruity aroma like red meat melon and ripe apples, and there is also a yogurt-like fermentation. I didn't feel the old sake-like quality I was worried about 😁I felt a strong, tangy carbonation, sweetness and umami first, and later a slightly stronger acidity and a little bit of bitter bitterness. It was a delicious sake with complexity and depth. It was a treat 😊.
I drank a little too much during the Obon holidays 😚 so I took the rest of the week off 😑.
The first thing I'm going to have on the weekend is...! It's been a long time since I've had a ✨great Junmai Daiginjo that's been polished up a lot ✨and the price is also expensive, which I usually don't buy 💴 I've been putting it away for a long time because it was too good to be true 😴.
We also took a bath to polish it up and make it smooth and smooth ✨.
The aroma was elegant and fruity 😌.
I took a sip and wow 😀 this is so smooth and fruity 🫢 it just rushes into my mouth 🌊! Yes, this is delicious 😋😋.
The sweetness starts to overpower the sweetness as you drink and eat 😅But by the time I felt that way, I had almost finished the four-pack, so it passed the international J&N standards (which I haven't used in a long time 😆).
By the way, the GU near my house closed down a while ago 😢I wasn't shopping there 😅I'm really curious to see what will be built after that 🧐.
We don't have any information yet, but we both want to go to Izakaya or Hidakaya (‼️).
In short, we'd like to have a place where we can walk around and have a quick drink 🤗.
But it's on a busy road with two lanes on each side of the road, so it's probably impossible to find a bar 🚙😓.
I don't mind if it's a liquor store where you can have a corner 😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃!
Yamasan and Junmai Daiginjo, you have a good sake ✨.
I'd love to welcome you to the restaurant as I've never had the chance to meet you.
It's exciting to see what will be built after the restaurant closes 😙.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
I can't stand the timing of opening a full bottle of drunken alcohol after a period of well-deserved rest 🥰.
It's also an important routine to cleanse yourself carefully ✨️
I can't wait to see what will be in the empty store: ✨️
Good evening Jay & Nobby😊.
I've had the Yamadanishiki from Yamazan, but I've never had the Sanwari Kubu, it's definitely delicious 😋.
I'm so defeated and slippery in the bath! That's awesome 🤣 polish it up to 30% 90% 🥳.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃!
The Yamazan Junmai Daiginjo after a day off from drinking looks so good😍It would be great if there could be a convenient place to drink near our house 😍.
Looking forward to hearing more about what you can do👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
After a day off from drinking, the Yamasan Junmai Daiginjo sounds like it's going to sink in 😋.
I'd love to try your sake someday 🤤!
What is the site of the old store 🤗?
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I think Yamazan-san will be a little sweet for you two, but for our family it's a don't miss😇.
We're thinking of making it our featured sake for next season 😀.
But I haven't seen Yamadanishiki from Yamazan yet 🤣.
Good morning, Master J&N 😃.
I also like Yamazan because I can buy it in my hometown, but the price is too expensive for me to afford.
But after reading this comment, I'm quite impressed 🤤.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
This is a nice Yamazan 🤩 and it looks like Yamadanishiki would be even more sharp 😍.
I wish I had a good izakaya near my house 🏮! There are no izakaya with sake near my house 😭
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
Yamada 39😳I would like to start with this one as there are many types of Yamasan and compare them 🤗.
I had a dream 💭 that the site of GU will be the Tochigi Sake Love Love Center 💖 which will be built with a bang ❗️ 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞I see you cleared the international J&N standards even though they are exclusively rumored to be strict 🤤This is one I would like to try but it is a bit expensive 💸I hope for a well-stocked liquor store at the site🙇.
Hi, soumacho 😃
Yes, I'm very happy to hear that you are enjoying your new home! It's been a long time since I've had a well-polished ✨premium pure Dai Dai 🤗a substitute that rarely comes to my house 😅I'm J&N who would appreciate 🍺drinking-related🍶 more than clothing👕!
Hi Gyve 😃
We usually take weekdays off 😑, but we drank every day during Obon 😅.
It's been a while since we've opened the show with a good guy and polished ourselves up too 😆 Hopefully we'll get a good restaurant in!
Hello ichiro18 😃
Yes, I'm Iichiro18! I went for a good one because it's the opening of the holiday 🤗.
Yes, I would like to educate you after the opening of the izakaya 🏮 even if there is no sake 🍶 at ‼️ worst 🍶 😆.
Hi ma-ki 😃
I had a rare Obon vacation where I drank without a rest day😅I was quiet for the rest of the week 😌This is one I can recommend to everyone!
I'd be happy to do something sake-like for you 😊.
Hi Yasbay 😃
We don't really know what we're getting ourselves into 😅Some of the sweet ones work and some don't 🤔.
We, Yamasan-san, are generally good 😋, and the green Yamasan of Yamae Nishiki was especially to our liking 🤗.
Hi Hissan 😃
Oh~! It's great that you can buy it locally 🤗
It's expensive 😅 but I think it's one of the best for sweet and tasty lovers 😋 Please go there when you have a good thing 👋.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I'm a fan of the green labels! I went for the good ones 🤗 but the green label might be my favorite 😋.
That's it! I'd be happy to have a izakaya 🏮😊I'd probably work there if I could 😆.
Hi Nao888😃
I know it's an international standard, but J&N's sensibilities are a bit blurry 😅 sometimes strict, sometimes lenient 😄.
If you pick up a 500 yen coin on the side of the road, try it 😆 You're more than welcome to visit any liquor store where you can corner shop 🥹.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
Yamazan is an expensive sake buy! I know 👍
You have to consult with your wallet though😅.
Whenever a large piece of land becomes available, I always wonder if a sports park will be built, but it's mostly condominiums💦.
Jay & Nobby Good evening 😊Yamasan, isn't it? That's a little expensive one too😊It's bound to be delicious! I have an image that Nagano sake is a bit sweet, but I'm glad it meets your standards! We can't wait to see what you can make next.
Good morning, kozo 😃.
It might be OK if you buy it with affordable dry sake! And it's Yamazan 😄
⚽️ sports park ⛲️ is a quintessential Kozo-san idea! It's a small place but all I could think about was the sake 😆.
Good morning, Sashu 😃.
This is the first time I drank this much polished Yamasan 😋 It was delicious and not that sweet 🤗.
Hope you can make something good 🤔.
Good morning Jay & Nobby😃I have the same thing in my fridge 😃If it meets "International J&N standards", I can drink it without worry 😁I wish there was a place within walking distance where I could have a little drink 😩.
Yamadanishiki (Hyogo), Polishing ratio 55
Yum! It is juicy and sweet! When cooled, the fruity acidity takes effect, and the mellow, lingering taste is gorgeous! This is my favorite recent one.
Thank you for participating in the brewery opening 🙏1️⃣ 8️⃣
Just as the place was heating up, there was a ping pong and the sake was delivered😇.
Great timing 🤣.
I've been requesting delivery of Shinshu secret hanpukai sake on the last Sunday of every month and this was the day it was scheduled to arrive 😀.
This month's hanpukai sake is Yamae Nishiki by Yamazan😇
Of course the specs are undisclosed, but I'm happy to say that everyone was pleased with the taste😇
Good evening, Yasbaye 😃.
I see the hanpukai also supported the brewery opening 😆.
I'm sure it must have been a great occasion for you to serve the freshly arrived products right away 🤗.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
The delivery was made at the most exciting time as the event was coming to an end, so everyone was interested in the contents of the package 😀.
We had a little more room in the warehouse, but now we have more 🤣.
