We had the first Yamasan. It is Hitogokochi Junmai Ginjyo Usunigori.
Following Shinshu Kamerei, this sake is from Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture.
Like Ginkame, there was only one bottle left in the refrigerator of a liquor store, so I bought it together with Ginkame. At that time, there was another bottle each of Yamasan Yamae-Nishiki Usu-Nigori, San-do no Kako Shi-no-Kozo, and Yamada-Nishiki Go-no-Kozo in the fridge. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found them because they were all sold out at every liquor store at that point. It might have been a kind of cancellation of reservation or release of reserve stock. I wanted to buy all of them because I had been interested in all of them but had missed the timing, but due to the capacity of my refrigerator, I gave up on Yamasan Yamae Nishiki and gratefully bought four bottles.
The first Yamasan was a delicious sake that lived up to the rumors. It showed a lot of energy from the moment the bottle was opened, and the mouthfeel was crisp and gassy. It has a fresh and juicy peachy flavor, with a graininess of rice that only nigori sake can have, and finishes with a sharp bitterness. I like light nigori sakes to begin with, but this one is right in the middle of my favorites.
This is another sake that I found troubling.
