A gentle and pleasant finish. A limited edition product filled with the blessings of Iki! The charm of the sake rice produced on the special land of Iki Island is packed into this limited-edition product.
Sake rice is Nagasaki Gin-no-sato Yamadanishiki, milling ratio is 50% for koji rice and 65% for kake rice, and the yeast is undisclosed.
We had it well chilled ✨.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of banana 🍌.
The acidity and bitterness are low, and the sake is characterized by a smooth, gradual spread on the palate👍.
It is a sake that goes down smoothly, but as you continue to drink it, you can also taste the umami of the rice and the depth of flavor 🤤.
I paired it with grilled eggplant. It soaks up the flavor and goes well with sake 😆.
Yokoyama, SILVER7 was opened 🎉.
SILVER7 from Yokoyama was recommended to me by the folks at Sake-no-wa!
Since it was on sale as a draft sake, I wanted to drink it any way I could: ‼️
I had no choice but to buy it 👌👌.
So I got my long awaited YOKOYAMA 😍.
This will be my first time to have Hiragana Yokoyama ☺️
Oh, I'm so excited 💕
I'll have some right away 🥂.
First of all, the aroma.
The aroma is gorgeous!
In the mouth, a gorgeous, rich sweetness spreads, and in the second half, acidity comes in with a sizzle and a bit of astringency.
The astringency and gasiness are intertwined, and it finishes nicely.
No pungency or bitterness.
Wow, this is Yokoyama... 🤤.
Yup! This is delicious 😋😋😋.
What an elegant taste and perfect balance 💐.
It is richer than I expected!
The rice 🌾 has a strong and robust flavor. It is rich sweet and sour 🥰.
The acidity and astringency are perfect and easy to drink without being too heavy, and it goes on and on.
I think it is perfect for this season.
Well thought out and brewed 🤔.
I would like to savor it slowly because of its elegance🌹, but I found myself finishing it in no time: ❣️
No wonder it's so popular 🤗

Good morning 🤩.
Iki no Yokoyama 🤩I used to drink it sometimes before I started drinking sake with sweet flavor 😘I see they also have raw sake! I'd like to try this ama-zumi once in a while, but... the sake that's coming out now...
Good morning, hinahana mama 😃.
I had an image of Kanji Yokoyama-san thick and sweet, I have never had Hiragana Yokoyama-san but I guess it is gorgeous 🤔.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃Yokoyama is delicious 😋I think this year was a particularly good year for drinking Yokoyama 💕I saw your delicious review and wanted to get some for our family for the new year 😆.
Hi Hinahana Mama 😃It's great that it's unfiltered raw sake with no bitterness or pungency 🍶I haven't had Yokoyama recently because it's sweet after a few drinks 🤣.
Good evening, kozou-san😄Thank you for your comment♪
It's been a while since you had a drink, Yokoyama! The sake is still delicious 🥰, it has a rich rice flavor, and I think Kozo-san would like it. ❣️
Good evening, ichiro18 😄Thank you for your comment!
It was my first time to try Hiragana too, but it was gorgeous, rich sweet and sour 🥰I think Kanji might be better for ease of drinking ☝️ but I guess that's my preference ⁉️
Good evening, Wakata 😄Thank you for your comment 💕.
Yokoyama, I was able to drink it for the first time this year and it became my favorite 🥰It's a high level 🥰 ❣️ It's certainly a perfect bottle for the New Year's Eve 💕 I feel safe just looking at it ☺️
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😄Thank you for your comment.
It is indeed very sweet 😅It is just right for a beginner like me, but too sweet for a pro like you 🤣I wonder if it would be good as a dessert after ramen 🍜😘.
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening 🌛Yokoyama🩷Nama sake is good 🤤I recently drank some fire-roasted sake outside and it was really good 🥰It was a little low in the middle of my taste buds, but was it in the middle of the middle of your taste buds 👀
Good evening, Nao888!
So ‼️ I knew Nao888 would get along with me 😆 I'm also a little low in the middle of the raw sake! Exactly 👏.
I'm really glad you can relate 🥹🫸🫷 I want to give you a high-five 🫸🫷.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌝.
Thank you for enjoying Nagasaki sake: 🙇♂️
I think Yokoyama is characterized by its elegant sweetness, umami, and balance without being too heavy ✨.
It goes great with chicken sashimi and flatfish sashimi. ☺️
Good evening, hinahana mama 😁.
Looks delicious, Yokoyama-san 😊.
I've been putting off buying it because they always have it in the store, but I'll have to get this one 🤩.
Hi, Chirsta 😃Thanks for your comment...
Nagasaki is so sneaky! Blessed with good sake, it's not fair 😤I wish I had such a good sake brewery in my hometown too ‼️ I'll be checking out Kyushu next year too 😉.
Hi Kano 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
You live near a good liquor store that always has Yokoyama 🥰I have the luxury of only being able to get a bottle of Pochi ❣️ Nama Sake, I hope you get it 💕.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
I've been wanting to try the Yokoyama SILVER7🍶 Nama sake for a long time: ‼️
Your review makes me want to drink it even more!
It's always helpful: ❤️
Hi Muro 😃Thanks for your comment...
Yokoyama, it was my wish too 🙌!
It's not available locally at all, so I had to snap it up 😉 I'm sure you'll love it too, Muro 😘.
