Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Gowari Gobu Unfiltered Harajuku
The second day, it settles down to the taste that I like more🍀*.
It tastes like a straight Yamada, just like the Yamada-Nishiki.
It's like "The Yamada straight" lol.
Delicious with white grapes and fresh acidity 😋.
Rice used : Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio : 55
Sake degree : +1
Acidity: 1.6
Amino acidity: 1.3
Alc : 15%.
I don't buy until they run out of stock! But when I find a gap, I go on a sake patrol. Shinshu Kamerei is no longer available, and the owner's top recommendation? This is Yamazan, which is certainly as good as it gets. I bought it in the spring and have been waiting for a while. It is a Yamae-nishiki produced in Yaehara, Tomi City. It is a bottle that expresses the terroir of Yaehara. Is the slight bitterness a production of the rice? Is it the skill of the Kurihara toji? The delicious rice flavor comes from a nice, fresh aroma. It is perfect even in summer.
Next, we have the San San 😁.
It has a good balance of flavor and aroma, just like Yamadanishiki. ☝️
And it has a fresh and robust rice flavor, as is typical of unfiltered raw sake 😁.
It's a good sake ☝️
Calm, fruity, sweet and acidic
Fresh, lush, and clean without interfering with food.
Less umami than the Hitogokotchi we had previously, but with a lot of acidity.
Both are delicious, but this one made a better impression on me, perhaps due to the season.

Speaking of Mr. Yamasan, Detective Yamamura, I wonder if Shigeru Roguchi is still alive?
Jacket value ... 8/10
A simple start, but the design is brilliant!
Ki ... 15/20
When the bottle is opened, it has a nice "sizzle" sound.
The texture is clear, but the acidity is very strong.
Sei... 18/20
The acidity and flavor are in perfect harmony.
Turning... 15/20
The acidity has turned to bitterness.
Yui... 15/20
The smell of sublimation does not remain so much, but there is a hint of pear.
Cost... 6/10
The wine is unique, but not special.
The balance of the woody smell and the acidity is super! But if you call yourself Yama-san, it should be heavier.

I was bothered by the strong Alc component throughout, which explains the banana feeling that lingers in the mouth.
I prefer Scotch detective to Yamamura detective, and Masaya Oki Forever.
I had a green from "Yamazan" waiting in the fridge, and I thought it would be the only way to relieve the stress I've been feeling at work since last week 😍.
Opened the bottle❗️Oh 💦I'm not feeling very energetic⤵️ like I was last week 😂.
I took a sip after getting the aroma...
It has a nice tartness and sweetness, and the mouth feels like it's being shaken, so it's no wonder the bottle didn't have any oomph when it was first opened 😍.
It's so good 😋.
I can't stop loving the Yamasan💛
I'm glad I had the heart color 🤪.
Now for the Yamada Nishiki 39% polished!
Alcohol is 16 degrees
The sound of the bottle being opened was a "pssh~p" in mp!
More vigorous than Kinmon-Nishiki!
A little microbubbles at the bottom of the glass!
The upper aroma is honey apple to grape.
Compared to Kinmon Nishiki 🤎 on the 3rd day
🤎 has more graininess, 💛 is more elegant and classy
When I drank it.
Quintessential, great sweetness, acidity and a bit of chili - = no complaints ‼️
In comparison, the highly polished Kinmon Nishiki 🤎 has a stronger sweetness and a surprisingly koji-like flavor.
In contrast, Yamadanishiki💛 is elegant and sofisticated
I noticed that the Kinmon-Nishiki was a bit more peculiar, so I decided to pair it with Parmigiano-Reggiano, which is a very good marriage 😉.
I wonder what I should pair the Yamada Nishiki 30% and 90% with?
Good evening, ymdaz!
I can't stop loving Yamasan 😁.
I'm also interested in the elegant and classy Yamadanishiki 🤤.
You notice things when you compare drinking ⤴️
Next time I'm going to try to drink and compare too 🤗
I wonder what the pairing will be 😋😋.
Good evening, ymdaz😄.
I see 🧐🤎's peculiarity is the complexity of graininess? Yamada-Nishiki will still have a beautiful sake quality with no cloying taste 🥰.
Very helpful ❣️
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
There are things that you only notice when you compare drinks.
(I'm a pro at remembering and being able to describe the difference without comparing the drinks)
I'm getting them twice a month, so if I get them every time, I can compare them right away!
Good evening, ymdaz 🌙
Yamazan is delicious 🥳I didn't like the Jungin Yamadanishiki that much in the Jundai, so I was wondering if the Jundai would be good? I was thinking about it, but after reading your review, it looks delicious 😚 I'm not sure if I should go out and buy it 😆.
Good morning, Kotaro 😃.
When I drank the Jungin Yamadanishiki, I also thought that Yamazan was better than the Yaehara sake rice from Nagano, but I thought this Jun Dai Yamadanishiki was better than the Jun Dai Kinmon Nishiki!
I'll have to drink them all if this happens 😉.
Hi ymdaz 😃
I asked Nobby the other day for a Jungin of Yamadanishiki, but he bought a Jun Dai saying 'it was quite expensive but I bought it'! I'm sure the sake antennae📡 must have worked 😙 I look forward to drinking it ‼️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Nobby's liquor antennae are quintessential 👏✨.
I think you did very well and I hope you enjoy it 😉.
Looking forward to your review!
I can't stop loving the three mountains 🤎.
Since it comes out twice a month
I have 3 bottles of Yamasan in the fridge for a moment 🤣.
This time you polished it up!
35% polished Kinmon-Nishiki from Yaebaru, Nagano Prefecture❗️
Alcohol 16%.
When the black plastic cover is removed and the crown is opened, the sound of opening the bottle is an mp and a pish!
Even if it's the same fire-brewed sake, it doesn't have the same vigor as the last Hitogokochi Light Nigori...
The aroma is clearly honey apple.
I think this may be the first time I've ever had this much honey apple in a Yamazan Kuchibiri.
The flavor is sweet with a gorgeous ginjo aroma, and it's a daiginjo ✨.
There's no gas, but there's a subtle chili sensation.
It has a great balance with the acidity that is typical of Yamazan, not quite sweet and delicious👍.
Considering the taste and the price of 30.5 percent, it's no wonder it's 2,750 yen including tax. ‼️
Hi ymdaz 🐦.
You're on twice a month 😳I'm so happy and so hard 😂I'm just amazed at your rapid progress that you're even making 35% polish and stuff 😊.
Don't stop your mountain three love 😆❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🤎🩷.
Hi ymdaz!
San San Ai in the mountains 😍.
It's delicious - but it's out twice a month 😲.
I got this one too, good review with a good balance of sourness without being too sweet and tasty ~ looks delicious and I'm looking forward to it more and more 🤤.
Hi ymdaz 😃
I see you went to Yamasan🤎!
Unlike my prior information, it's surprisingly sweet and sour? Then I guess I should have gotten it 😅 but I guess it's too late now...
Anyway, I guess that means you won't miss Yamasan 🥰.
Hi Pon 😃
I think we're averaging 2 per month.
The raw sake rice series has run its course.
I'm thinking it's now in the fire-brewing stage.
I'll be following the current brewing year when we get to this point 😁.
Hi ma-ki-😃
Yamasan love, I'm worried about what to do if I get a label without the heart color, but so far I'm getting by 🤣.
Recently our house drinking is over 50% Yamasan ratio, but it's no wonder because it's delicious 🥹.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I don't know what your prior information was, but I think it is more sweet and sour than sweet and tasty.
However, compared to the next Yamasan, there may be a little bit of a reason, please refer to the next Yamasan review.
I had a bottle of Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki.
This is my second bottle of Yamazan, the first being a light nigori, so this is my first clear sake.
The first bottle was a light nigori, so this is the first time I have tasted a clear sake. Unlike the light nigori, which was refreshing, the sweetness, umami, and acidity were concentrated, and the taste was juicy, as if you were biting into a ripe fruit.
Perhaps it is the color of the label, but the nuance of grapes is strongly felt. While it has a rich flavor, the second half has a sharpness that comes from the bitterness, so you will never get tired of drinking it.
As it becomes more popular, it is becoming more difficult to buy, but it has become a favorite brand that you must buy if you come across it.
Yamazan is somewhat of a first for me when drinking at home.
Purchased at Koyama Shoten, a sacred place in the Kanto region after a long time since my last visit
The ginjo aroma has a refreshing acidity reminiscent of blue bananas.
Slightly gassy and thick on the palate, with a rich rice flavor and sweetness reminiscent of white grapes, and a lingering sourness and bitterness that makes it a very drinkable cup!
Good morning, Orfevre!
I just got Yamazan's Kinmonniki the other day and am looking forward to this sake 😋.
It's my first time to drink Kinmonniki sake too, so I'm looking forward to reading your review and seeing how well balanced it is 🤤.
