A clear and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of strawberries.
From the clear and beautiful mouthfeel, the elegant and voluptuous sweetness and umami that is typical of Aizan spreads, and then tightens up with a lingering acidity.
PB product of Ryujinmaru Junmai Sake
While Ryujinmaru is unfiltered raw sake, this one is fire-added and watered.
The aroma is mild, as is typical of junmai sake.
The rich brown sugar-like rice flavor and sweetness spread out, with a hint of sourness in the aftertaste.
This time it was served cold, but it would be delicious warmed up.
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 🤤.
Special version directly pumped at the brewery by the owner of Kadoya Sake Shop.
A clear yet slightly sweet ginjo aroma.
The clear and carbonated mouthfeel is followed by a juicy flavor and sweetness reminiscent of green apples, and finishes with a refreshingly light finish with acidity and bitterness.
Personally, I prefer this flavor to winter nigori.

The soft mouthfeel is followed by a rich rice flavor and rounded sweetness, with a lingering acidity that finishes crisp and clean.
