Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Yamazan Sake Brewery Co.
Yamazan Junmai Ginjo Yamae Nishiki Gowari Gobu Unrefined Nama Sake
I still have some nigori left in the fridge, but I'm in the mood for some Nagano sake.
I am very thankful that Yamazan, which I sought out when I traveled to Nagano, is now readily available in the Kansai region 🙏.
I'll have it cold.
A short gas sound when I opened the bottle.
When poured into a glass, a few fine bubbles adhered to the bottom rim.
The color is clear with a slight greenish yellow tinge.
The top aroma is mild and not very noticeable.
On the palate, there is a slight chilli gasiness and a freshness that gives the impression of youth. The slightly tight acidity is most impressive, and the sweetness and umami are modest, giving it a slightly modern taste.
After swallowing, the acidity and astringency tightens on the tongue and lingers as it is. The aftertaste feels clean as the bitter astringency lingers.
I thought it would have more sweetness, but Yamae-nishiki has surprisingly little sweetness and flavor, and I think I prefer Kinmon-nishiki.
I'll have to try the others, but the Rokubun Sen was delicious 😋.
Ingredients: Rice (Nagano Prefecture), Rice malted rice (Nagano Prefecture)
Ingredient Rice:100% Yamae-Nishiki produced in Yaehara, Tomi-city, Nagano
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15%.

Good evening, Nemuchi🌆.
I was able to purchase this sake at a liquor store ras 1. I am surprised that it is even faster than last year. It's going to be a hard to find sake this year💦.

Good evening, Nemuchi!
This Yamasan was drier than I imagined too! It was also delicious though 😝.
I'd like to taste Kinmon-nishiki and Sanada Rokubunsen as I haven't had them yet 🥳.
I'd like to have the hard to find ones there too 😂.

Good evening, Kotaro🌛I thought Yamasan was juicy sweet and rich with the image of Kinmon-nishiki, but it was not so surprising 😅I'll enjoy changing the taste after opening the bottle 😊I hope other Yamasan will not be hard to find too 🙏.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛Maybe the sweetness and umami are mild and the slightly modern bitterness makes it seem dry 😋I'm sure there will be more new Yamasan sake coming out, so please try to get your hands on some 😉.
