It is another Yokoyama, but I drank it a while ago and liked the taste, so I took a chance and bought it in a bottle.
I thought it was a draft sake, but when I looked at it before opening the bottle, I saw that it was actually fire-aged. But when I drank it, it had a strong aroma and was fruity and tasted like muscat.
When I think of Iki, barley shochu comes to mind, but they also make very good sake. Thank you, thank you to the makers.
SILVER 1814 followed by SILVER 7 🍸.
This is the last bottle of souvenir for myself on my trip to Nagasaki.
It also has an elegant aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the acidity, then the mellow sweetness and umami. It tastes fresh and fruity🍇 and refreshing.
I am now a fan of Yokoyama 🍸✨.
Pineapple, koji, apple. Fruity aroma with a raw sake feel.
Chilled, it has a crisp texture with sourness and sweetness. Since it is chilled, it has none of the heaviness of nama-shu and can be drunk smoothly. There was a gassy feeling at first, but it went away within a week of opening the bottle. No wonder.
I heated it up.
It's rather good! It tastes better this way, doesn't it? When heated up high, it has a delicious sweetness and a good acidity. It still has a fruity aroma and a fresh taste. Interesting!
I have an image that this kind of sake tastes best between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, but this one tastes better at lower temperatures, from 5 degrees Celsius. After the gaseous taste is gone, it might be better to warm it up.
Good evening, Tarou-san. I didn't expect you to drink Yokoyama because I didn't have an image of you drinking it, but you warmed it up properly and drank it deliciously even after the gassy feeling was gone, which was a pleasant ending that made me feel strangely relieved 😊.
This is the first time I have had SILVER 10.
The aroma when opening the bottle was less than that of 7, but the flavor was more robust, making it more of a food wine than a stand-alone sake.
It went well with yellowtail sashimi and was very tasty.
Drinking with senior staff. It is a rare opportunity to say what I want to say as a lowly member of management.
Today's drink was from Yokoyama
Good balance of sweet and sour: ❗️😊
No doubt about it 😉.
Good ‼️
It has a fruity and refreshing aroma, and the gaseous and crisp sharpness of the raw sake makes it a light and elegant sake.
The accompaniment is a little steamed cloudberries.
