The first Yamasan Masamune was a heated H30BY. It was procured in Shimane.
The color is a pale yellow. It has a soft candy-like sweetness and umami with a good sense of maturity, and it is sharp with the acidity of Yamahai. It is delicious.
2022BY was served warm.
It has a good balance of soft rice sweetness and umami and sharpness. The sense of maturity is slight and it is generally gentle and easy to drink.
This sake was specially brought to me when the owner held a Yonemune party at his restaurant.
I was allowed to drink only one cup 🍶.
The color is soy sauce with wasabi dissolved in it (4th photo).
The top aroma is of steamed rice.
In the mouth, there is a mild acidity, a mild sweetness of rice and a good umami.
The rough texture of the rice is like nigori-gorashi (a kind of rice that has been roughly ground).
The color surprised me but it was quite delicious 😊🍶.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The color of the sake looks as if you put soy sauce in a flat sake cup 😳I'm curious💕So it was surprisingly delicious😊.
This is Shikishima's Toku Jun Yamadanishiki.
This is a cold sake 🍶.
The nose has a slight smoky woody aroma with a hint of sweetness.
The woody aroma is milder than the Shikishima we had last year.
On the palate, there is a refreshing sweetness and mild acidity.
It was quite delicious 🍶😊.
The third picture is Yokoi's spaghetti with starchy sauce recommended by a friend.
I was about to eat it, but it was rare that I took a picture of my meal 😅.
It cost me 1050 yen, but I think the ingredients cost about 100 yen 😂.
Yonemune's Yamahai Junmai
Also warmed 🍶.
The initial aroma is of steamed rice with a hint of acidity.
Mild acidity and plenty of umami on the palate.
It was delicious!
The fourth picture is a statue of Ieyasu Tokugawa in front of Higashi-Okazaki Station on the Meitetsu Nagoya Line, where we got off on our way to Maruishi Brewery.
Yonemune's Namahyashiroshi Junmai Yumeginko
I had it warmed up 🍶.
The nose is of steamed rice with a hint of mirin (sweet sake).
On the palate, the acidity is mild for a Yonemune, and the rice has a sweet and umami flavor.
It was delicious 🍶.

Tateoi's 2nd day😊
Yonemune's Yamahai Junmai Nigori Sake
We had it warmed up 🍶.
The top aroma is of steamed rice with a hint of acidity.
The first aroma is of steamed rice with a hint of acidity.
The acidity of Yamahai is stronger than that of Nigorizumi because of the moderate sweetness.
The fourth picture is Shingen Mound where the dead of Takeda's side were buried at Shitara battlefield.
It was not Shingen but Katsuyori who fought in the battle.
It is a Junmai Hi-ire of Takanomune.
It was served cold to finish the day🍶.
ALLNAGOYA🍤 is made with Yumeginko🌾 from Nagoya city and FIA-2 yeast developed by Aichi prefecture and cultivated in Nagoya city.
Don't tell anyone that the label on the back says "ALLNAGOY" 🤫.
The top aroma is mildly sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a mild sweetness and a good rice flavor.
Actually, last year's hi-ire sake was so good that this year I bought the same ALLNAGOYA sake, but it was a little too hard.
I wonder if this sake tastes better when it is fire-brewed 🤔.
By chance?
The third and fourth pictures are of the Takanomumu brewery, which is about a 10-minute walk from JR Tokaido Honsen Odaka Station.
Hi, Matsuchiyo-san. I see you are enjoying your sake trip in Aichi 😊There are many sake that I don't know about and I am learning a lot from your posts 📝I love visiting all the breweries for 5 days 💕.
Good evening Peco-san!
In Tokyo, I can drink most of the famous brands in each area, so I prefer to drink brands that I can't drink in Tokyo 😊.
It's like a pilgrimage to a sacred place 😘.
This is a Junmai sake from Yonemune.
I thought they only had Yamahai and Namahashi 😌.
This one was served at room temperature 🍶.
The nose is sweet with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, you can feel the mild acidity, but you can also taste the umami that is typical of Yonemune.
However, it is a bit twisted.
It was made in July this year 🤔.
The third and fourth pictures are the ruins of Shitara-hara ancient battlefield in Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture.
This is the site of the battle where the Oda-Tokugawa allied forces destroyed the cavalry of Katsuyori Takeda.
A part of the horse-proof fence constructed by the Oda-Tokugawa allied forces has been reproduced.
In reality, three layers of horse fences were set up on the slope of the hill, and a double set of moat and earthworks were placed in the valley in front of the fences.
Hello, Matsuchiyo-san 🐦.
I see you drank a lot of Yonemune! This one has a different label than the others 😳modern taste?
I see you visited a lot of historical sights 😊👍.
It is Yonemune's sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast strain 2020BY.
This one is also heated 🍶.
The nose has the aroma of heated sake with mild acidity and a sweet aroma.
The palate is full of umami with good acidity.
It's like drinking rice "soup stock" and it's delicious 😆.
It was aged at room temperature, but there was no twitchiness at all.
I think this Yonemune was the most delicious.
The area of Ise Nagashima in the fourth picture is located in a circle with low elevation, so there were signs everywhere indicating the altitude above sea level.
It is said that this area was swept away by the storm surge during Typhoon Isewan, and all the warehouses of Yonemune, which are located a little inland, were also swept away.
The next one is Miyamanishiki Jungin Yamahai.
This was also served heated.
The first aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of acidity from the Yamahai process.
The first aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of Yamahai acidity.
The acidity of the Yamahai is combined with a light umami and sweetness.
It is not twisted at all.

We had it at Tateoi in Sakae for charcoal grilled chicken and good sake 🍶.
Heated sake of course 😊.
The nose is sweet with a hint of acidity and nigori.
The first aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of acidity and nigori.
It's not that heavy because the umami is elegant and gentle like dried bonito flakes or kelp (the flavor is not dried bonito flakes or kelp).
It's a 2020BY, but it's a solid sake with strong acidity, so it's not twisted at all, as expected. ✨️
After this, I ended up going to Tateoi for two days in a row to have all 8 types of Yonemune heated up 😌.
The fourth picture is the ruins of Nagashima Castle, one of the strongholds of the Ise Nagashima revolt.
It is now used as Nagashima Elementary School and Nagashima Junior High School.
Warmed up. by is it 2019? Amber in color. It has a sense of maturity, but the acidity of Yamahai is strong.
The acidity becomes milder when paired with Karimori (photo #4), which is pickled with Yonemune's sake lees.
This is the first Ariiso, a 50% polished sake with a good umami taste from the palate including a sense of clarity. Although it is jun-dai, it is not flashy, and although it has a slightly raw feel, it is not rough and has a calm taste, making it a good sake to drink during meals.
It has been a long time since I have had a cold sake that is unexpected in a good sense.
The owner recommended a very rare sake that is not on the menu.
We were served a very rare sake that is not on the menu.
As you can see from the label on the back
As you can see from the label on the back, the sake is made with great care and enthusiasm.
and enthusiasm for sake brewing,
As a drinker, I was ready to savor the sake.
A famous winery in Nagano produces a very small amount of sake in the winter after the wine production is finished.
The sake is produced in very small quantities during the winter season after the wine production is finished.
You can't imagine it from the bottle and label.
The bottle and the label are not what you would expect.
From the moment you drink it, you can feel both white wine and sake.
The taste and acidity are both white wine and sake.
The umami and acidity of the sake was like a hybrid of white wine and sake.
It was like a hybrid of white wine and sake.
