Last of the day✨
I don't remember any more, all I can say is that it was delicious...
With my sake-loving friend and my sister ♡.
When I came to my senses
The three of us drank 7 gou of sake!
We drank so much we didn't eat much.
The snacks were also delicious!
A summer-only Yokoyama that is refreshing even in the hot summer months. The sweetness is moderate and the aroma is gorgeous.
Polishing ratio 55%, alcohol content 15%.

Nagasaki 🍶...this will be my second one🤗.
After Faylan, I chose YOKOYAMA from Iki Island in Nagasaki. This is my first time drinking it.
It is made from Gin-no-sato (Akita Sake No. 49), a sake brewing rice developed in Akita Prefecture.
The raw material rice is 80% Gin-no-sato produced in Iki.
Yamadanishiki 20% as Koji rice.
Polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 65% for kake rice
Alcohol level is 14 degrees Celsius.
The specifications are for a once-fired sake.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is mildly fruity and sweet, like banana and melon.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a thin, clear, pale yellow color. The sake is smooth and silky.
When you take a sip, it is smooth and fresh. The sweetness spreads gradually. The taste is mellow with a good balance of acidity and sweetness.
The lingering aftertaste is round and umami spreading in the mouth, while it is crisp and clear, with a moderate bitterness. It is easy to drink.
Personally, I prefer it at room temperature rather than cold, as the umami increases.
Summer season only
Comfortable sweetness and acidity with a refreshing sensation
Refreshing feeling Delicious summer sake
A good friend sent it to me. Thank you always!
Yamadanishiki Kakemai: 55% Koji rice: 50% 15% alcohol
If there is a summer sake template for my recent tastes, this is right in the middle of it. It has just the right amount of acidity, freshness, and freshness. It's delicious. It tastes even better if you add a couple of ice cubes to make it feel cold and crispy.

The first sip reveals a juicy, sweet mouthfeel with a touch of bitterness.
It is sweet but not cloying, and is best served well chilled with a meal.
The aroma is mild and the taste is clean, but there is a deep umami and a slight sweetness.
A little bitterness at the end.
Safe, but not very distinctive.
