I thought I've had a super hot drink before, but I guess it's my first raw one?
It's spicy, but with notes of muscatel and apple.
Fairly dry, with a short aftertaste.
I've had a cold for the past few days due to the change of season, but I'm a little better now, so I'll have a gulp.
This time, it's a hiyaoroshi from Yokoyama (maybe for the first time?). I wonder if this sweetness is only possible with hiyaoroshi. I wondered if this delicious sweetness was only possible with hiyaoroshi, and thought that the lingering, moderate ginjo aroma that lingers in the aftertaste is autumn.
If you catch a cold, you will not be able to drink, so please take good care of yourselves.
This is the first time I have had it.
Iki is known as the birthplace of barley shochu, but they also made sake.
The taste was perfect for my taste buds, as I am a fan of raw sake.
It has a fizzy, muscat-like fruity taste.
Kaze no Mori, which I drank a while ago, also has a fizzy taste, but this one is softer? I wonder why I feel that way.
I could have bought this one by the bottle. I will definitely repeat it!
Thank you for your comment, T.KISO. It makes me happy to hear that the sake I wrote about as being delicious is also delicious. It seems that we must have similar tastes, so if you have any other recommendations, please let me know!

Overall evaluation: ★★★★★A
I was drawn to it by the pop that said "oily and banana-like."
I'm not usually a drinker, but it fit my hopes for cooler weather and a drink I can mellow out to 😆✨.
A little tangy on the tongue, but not a nasty tang.
Gentle, round sweetness.
Maybe a slight acidity. Maybe that's why it's not too sweet!
It was delicious 😋.
A refreshing drink that resets the palate. It is dry.
It is easy to drink and does not linger in the mouth, although it does have the characteristic post-drinking hot feeling.
This is the one that everyone in Kansai was drinking in the winter.
It had been about a year, but I bought it.

Nice aroma, chirpy and fresh!
Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity.
From the 2nd day to the 4th day, the sweetness gradually increases and the taste becomes more consistent.
Still sweet and tasty without bitterness on the 4th day. ❣️
I was relieved to see that it was still fresh after a year.
Not too sweet, but tasty and delicious 🎶.
Hi there, Ponchan!
I just received my first YOKOYAMA the other day, and it's a good goal for my next one: ☺️
But how good was it to keep it fresh after a year? In a way, it's great👍.
Good evening, Pon-chan.
I have been curious about this sake since I saw it on Sake-no-Wawa, and now I want to drink it more and more since I heard that it has a good balance of sweetness, flavor, and acidity. ⤴️
It's fun to learn about so many delicious sakes that I didn't know existed 😊.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
Yokoyama-san! It's been a while since we drank Kochira's No. 10 the year before last 🥲When I look back on that time, I found it sweet on the first day and moderate on the second day😅I'd like to try it to see how it feels on my tongue now 🤗.
Hi Pon, hello here too ☀.
I'm so thankful for the freshness of the store's storage conditions 😁.
I remember the "three stars" I bought at the Matsugasaki store before and they were stored for a year, but they were so sweet and tasty ✨.
Hi Muro 🐦.
I haven't drank a few yet, but I like Yokoyama and ❣️ it's delicious with a strong sweet flavor 😊 on the other hand, I haven't drank fire-ground or dry, I'd like to try it in the next season 😆.
Hello, Swissisun 🐦.
Yes, I was worried that the freshness would drop but it didn't! I was worried that they might not be as fresh as they should be, but it's useless 😊It doesn't work like this in our regular fridge 😂The refrigerated storage at the store is amazing 😊👍.
Hi ma-ki-, 🐦.
Silver 7 is a classic, but I haven't had that one yet 😂I want to try the other ones as well, I've only had the raw ones and I want to try the fire-brewed ones too... my list of things to drink is growing 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
Actually, I was not feeling well on the 3rd day or I couldn't taste another one 😅I had to write a review with the before and after taste 🤭It still tastes solid on the 4th day, nice drink ✨.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Really, it's impossible for our fridge to taste good even after a year 🤣thanks to you, I enjoyed the drink 🙏Matsugasaki you also have good storage ✨I'll keep it in mind well since I haven't been there yet👍.
Pon-chan
Good morning 🤩It's a Nagasaki Iki sake 🤩It's sweet and fruity, so it's an easy first step to sake, so I drank it a lot 😘 Besides, sake can be left for a few years 😁.
Thanks again for this one, Kojo 😊.
I see you used to drink it a lot! It's sweet enough for me 😆.
We have a regular fridge and the temperature is not very low, so we open the sake as soon as possible 💦I wish we had a dedicated one!

Business trip to Nagasaki.
Invited to the Nagasaki Stadium City Ko-Kara-Okara,
Attended Masaharu Fukuyama's concert and event.
On the last night, I went out with my local friends... 😁.
Iki's "Yokoyama" hiyaoroshi 😆.
Fruity sweetness and rich taste 👍
Not Sake, but Shigeke Shuzo has a barley shochu called "Chingu Black Koji
I got a chance to try "Chingu Black Koji" when I visited the brewery,
I got hooked on it and buy it regularly 😆.

Good morning, Uchi~san.
Masaharu Fukuyama for the persimmon drop. That's great! And Yokoyama.
Speaking of Iki, Iki shochu is Iki shochu, but Yokoyama is excellent.

Memorandum
This is my first YOKOYAMA in summer.
Slightly carbonated.
The taste is quite robust.
Moderate sweetness. Creamy.
As is typical of summer sake, the last sip is not sticky, but invites you to take another sip.
Mm, it's good!
