We opened a bottle of "Junmai Ginjo SILVER7 Unfiltered Nama Sake" from Yokoyama, which we got at a liquor store we visited a little while ago.
It has a slight fizz on the tongue and a pleasant umami that expands with a sizzling sensation. The depth of flavor makes it a perfect match for oden and o-nabe (hot pot).
This is a bottle that makes me want to visit the brewery on Iki Island someday. Delicious ‼️

We got some good sashimi, so we drink sake.

Local Nagasaki sake, and the master's approval, Yokoyama-san ✨.
It's been a while since I've had a visit to Yokoyama-san, but apparently the rice and yeast here are all from Iki, where the brewery is located, how wonderful 😊.
The flavor is characterized by a strawberry or pear-like aroma and a gentle sweetness on the nose ✨.
Gasiness and umami are moderate, acidity is a bit medium and overall impression is calm 🤔.
The sweetness stands out, but it is not too sweet! The sweetness is prominent, but not so much that it's sweet, but rather that it slowly spreads with each sip, making it hard to stop drinking 😍.
No bitterness, no bitterness at all. No bitterness, no bitterness, no bitterness, no bitterness, no bitterness. It's like a beautiful finish ✨.
It's so good 😍!
If you like sweet and refreshing sake, you should definitely try this!
I bet this would be great with Iki beef 🤤.

Tropical aroma. As per label design.
It has a clean and crisp taste with a pleasant bitterness.
It has a light, slightly dry taste, and although it is too late to say so (laugh), it is a bottle that is made for summer.
The fruity flavor, which is typical of Yokoyama, is a bit subdued, and the umami flavor is a bit more pronounced. It may be because it was the last glass.
