One of the bottles my wife's brother prepared for New Year's Day.
When the bottle is opened, it is a little gassy.
Slightly gassy
Slightly melon and apple-like top notes
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, soft sweetness and rice flavor spreads with a touch of gas and mild acidity, and finishes with a hint of bitterness.
The first half is fruity and fresh, but the second half is slightly bitter and refreshing.
It went well with the New Year's dishes prepared by my wife's brother.
I feel that local sake has a different taste when drunk locally.
First time in New Year's Day, we had a couple's banquet 🎊.
I made a luxurious Yokoyama GOLD 😍It's been a long time since I've had a Yokoyama 😍It's ‼️ delicious. The sweetness and bitterness changes depending on the temperature 🥰.
And today we had pork shabu shabu, crab cream croquettes and shrimp cream croquettes with Akita souvenir "smoked iburigakko tartar sauce"💓.
The gakko connects the egginess, mayoiness, and smokiness perfectly, making the croquettes a few more delicious 🥰‼️ GOLD enhances the depth of flavor ✨It was delicious👍!
Impressions of the drink by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Happy New Year 🎍.
We look forward to working with you in the New Year 🍶.
Our first sake after returning to Saitama was our favorite
We opened a bottle of our favorite sake, Yokoyama 😃.
As usual, sweet and delicious 😋.
We also had a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei left over from a visit to my parents' house 🍶.
They are the same sweet and umami type and very tasty,
Kamerei is soft sweet and delicious, while Yokoyama is tight and sweet and delicious.
That's the image I have of them 😋.
Kamerei is sweet and delicious with a lingering aftertaste until the end, while Yokoyama has a pleasant bitterness and astringency combined in the middle, which is felt in the back 😋.
Both are delicious 😋.
Pairing impressions were made by Pekho 😅.

Yokoyama looks delicious, sweet and complex 🤤.
I also love Kyushu sake for its rich and complex flavor: ☺️

The sake that got me hooked on sake.
This is the sake that got me hooked on sake.
The fruity taste is not so much because it is hiyaoroshi, but it was just right for me when I was not used to drinking it.
If I were to drink it now, I'd choose the nama-shu, but I'm nostalgic about it.
Actually, I was drinking more! A quick playback of the sake I didn't keep track of (5)
The rice flavor and fruity taste seemed a bit lighter than the sake I've been drinking. So, is it not good? It is a great sake for those nights when you just want a light sake.
This is a limited edition sake made entirely on Iki Island, using "Gin no Sato" produced in Iki, and everything from rice cultivation to sake brewing was done on the island.
Delicious 😋.

I think this is the place to end my 2025 outside drinking. It's not too solid, but it goes well with the food, and it's just right for a leisurely drink while talking with acquaintances.
