Dark banana without being flashy.
A little bit of mellow acidity, dark sweetness mixed with bitterness, and a little bit of Al that doesn't leave the nose.
At about 5 degrees, the sweetness is low and the bitterness is strong.
At about 20 degrees, the sweetness opens up and it is good for both!
Sapporo Raccoon Alley Soba Restaurant The 6th cup was Junmai Ginjo "Yokoyama" from Shigekura Family Sake Brewery in Iki Island, Nagasaki. It is a dry sake from Iki Island. It is also delicious.
Yokoyama, Princess Michiko was opened 🎉.
Actually, it's Sake Day, my birthday 🎂.
I can't help but think I was born to drink sake 🙌
Although I only found out about Sake Day last year 🤣.
This year I had to work on Sake Day, so I celebrated it with chika's birthday yesterday 😳.
My husband and I had a birthday party 💝.
Yokoyama ❣️ is the place to be on such an anniversary!
And ☝️Princess Michiko✨
The ultimate one👍 that I sought out on my recent training expedition to Kyushu.
It was a bit expensive, but I was excited to buy it, and it's appropriate to drink it today. ⁉️
I was allowed to splurge while asking myself the same question: ☺️
Well, here's to me being born on Sake Day 🥂.
Cheers to you too chika💕.
First, the aroma
Modest sweet aroma.
In the mouth, the sweet taste spreads from the moist and watery texture and expands in a gorgeous and elegant way.
There is no gassiness, and the taste gently fades away.
No bitterness, astringency, or pungency.
Wow!
It's soooo good 😋!
Just as it says on the back label, gorgeous and elegant taste produced by noble flower yeast ❣️
Happy birthday 🥰.
Happy Birthday, HinaHanaMama 🎉🎉!
That's why October 1st is Sake Day 🤣🤣!

Hometown Tax Returns from Iki City, Nagasaki Prefecture
The sweet flowery aroma, carbonation and rice flavor spread quickly in the mouth, melting sweetly and disappearing, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
It is an elegant sake that can be enjoyed slowly without snacks rather than in a gulp.
This is the first sake brewery to be established in 30 years in 2018, and it is a brand that I would like to enjoy with local delicacies when I visit Iki.

Taste: ★★★★☆] It has an aroma of sweet flowers such as nadeshiko and pineapple. In the mouth, it has a smooth, soft sweetness, a little acidity and pungency, and leaves a tangy, spice-like taste and pungent bitterness in the aftertaste. The aroma has a sour, yogurt-like flavor.

Overall evaluation】★★★★☆
The mornings and evenings are getting cooler.
The label of this Yokoyama is perfect for this season.
It has the promised sweetness and umami, but is it more subdued than the Yokoyama we have had so far? This one is also good enough. Thank you very much.

The second drink, Yokoyama😲.
I think the owner of this place said before that we all have dry sake...,
Here comes the Yokoyama ⁉️🤣
Yokoyama SILVER Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi!
When I drink it, I knew it would be so 😉, sweet and sour!
A little fresh💦.
But this Yokoyama is not too sweet? I wonder if it's not too sweet?
Surprisingly, this pattern is also possible?
The owner said that Yokoyama used to make shochu, so the first time he made shochu, he was like, eh 🤣.

Good morning, Takashi 😃.
Oh, it's Yokoyama! I was so sensitive to the fact that it's Yokoyama 🤩 and it looks delicious💕✨It's great that the owner leaves it up to you and you can get the drinks to go with the food ❣️ I would love to visit such a restaurant 🥰.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😊.
I thought Yokoyama Hiyamahi Hiyamahi is also available for Japanese food 😋 This restaurant is great. I'm sure you'll have a great time talking with the owner and enjoying the delicious food and drinks 🥰.
But be careful not to drink too much 🤣.
