The sake that Rafa ordered. I exchanged it for the sake I ordered and drank some.
The rice is said to be modified Nobukou.
Unlike the straight kumi-style sake, it is calm and has a mild sweetness. It is more like a classic sake.
The official website says it is about -7, so I think it is more on the sweet side.
If you think of it as the standard sake of the brewery, it is quite high.
It seems that Rafa has a connection with Satte City, where Toyoake's brewery is located, and I thought such an episode was interesting.
Next to Jyushiyo, I was curious about this one.
Toyoake by Ishii Shuzo, which I have been interested in for a long time.
Probably you can't buy it in Kansai...
Toyoake, or "Unmei"? I thought it was "Toyoake", but it's actually "Houmei" 😅...
The rice is Sake Musashi, the yeast is Saitama G yeast and the first rice and yeast.
The label doesn't mention the sake's specific name or rice polishing ratio, but according to the information from the distributor, it's a Junmai Daiginjo with a 50% rice polishing ratio.
It is fresh, rich, and sweet.
Pineapple type like Hanahayo or Takachiyo.
Very tasty!
Toyoake, it seems like it could be more popular.
Good morning, bouken😄This Toyoake G yeast is delicious 😊It's very disappointing that we can't have the same drink again because it's a one-time only specification for the once-in-a-lifetime series 😢I hope it will become a regular feature ☺️
Hi Ponchan 😃
Even though it was fire-brewed, it was fresher and more like a nama-zake than some of the other nama-zakes out there 😳 It's so good that I usually don't buy it, but I'm considering mail-order 😁.
From Ishii Shuzo in Satte City, Saitama Prefecture, comes the second of the two Toyoake sake, Toyoake Junmai Ginjo-Ginjo Genshu.
This is the gold medal winning sake of the 2023 IWC (International Wine Challenge) 🎖️
The IWC, held every year in London, is an award that has attracted a lot of attention since the SAKE category was established in 2007, with the winning sake gaining attention and gaining a foothold in the international market.
For the 2023 IWC, 1,601 brands were entered and 98 were awarded gold medals. 🎖️
The appearance is crystal with a golden hue.
When the temperature is low, the aroma is of spices with a sour koji aroma and a volatile feeling of alcohol typical of sake derived from nama sake.
As the temperature approaches room temperature, a sweet fruity ginjo aroma emerges.
The taste is mainly umami with a touch of acidity, and the acidity spreads and finishes with a slightly stimulating sensation that is typical of nama sake.
The lingering finish is medium with a light astringency on the tongue.
The IWC tasting comments were,
Lovely, elegant plum, melon, and citrus aromas on the nose with a hint of citrus on the upper nose. The finish is fresh and appetizing" (Aladdin translation).
It was a refreshing food wine: ☺️
Thanks for the treat 🍶.
Rafa papa, good evening😄I'm sorry I couldn't join you, but I'm glad you liked chuin 🥰It's a good place for a simple style of drinking and talking about drinks 🍶☺️
Good morning, Aladdin🌞.
Ishii Sake Brewery is a brand I would like to try if I could come across it since I used to do YOUTUVE, but I have never seen it even in Tokyo. It's a sake like HANA-YOUVE 😘.
3KAN4ON, good morning 😄I unfortunately have never had Hana-yoso 😅Toyoake's version of this sake was in a different direction, so I can't say for sure, but the G East one was extremely tasty! The brewery still has some in stock, so please do! I'm sure you'll love it 🍶.
Two sakes of Toyoake from Ishii Sake Brewery in Satte, Saitama Prefecture!
First, we start with the Toyoake Ichigekai Series - G-yeast.
Ishii Shuzo was founded in 1840.
The slogan of the brewery is "Ichi-Ichi-Ichi-Ichi-Kai" (meaning "one drunk, one happy").
It is a brewery that takes on challenges while respecting tradition so that those involved can become "prosperous and cheerful.
The Ichi-Seikai series is a one-time experimental brew.
G-yeast is brewed by a brewer in his third year of brewing. The sake rice is Saitama Prefecture's own "sake musashi" and the yeast is Saitama Prefecture's own "Saitama G yeast.
The sake rice is "Sake Musashi" and the yeast is "Saitama G Yeast," both unique to Saitama Prefecture.
Saitama G yeast is a yeast that produces high levels of ethyl caproate.
The appearance is yellowish crystal.
The aroma is of sour fruity apples, steamed rice, and spice nuances.
You can feel the power of Saitama G yeast🍎.
In the mouth, sweetness like juicy honey apple and fine dusty acidity like sparklers spread gently and disappear softly.
The aftertaste is short and slightly astringent on the tongue.
Moderately interesting taste ☺️
The acidity is gorgeous while the sweetness is strong, balanced, and delicious 😊.
It was a delicious sake for those who love apple-based 🍎 sweet taste 🍶.
Thanks for the treat 🍶.
Good evening, bouken😄I'm glad you enjoyed it since there were only a few bottles left! It was a weird one, like directly pumped and fired, but I was surprised that I liked the aroma and taste so much 😳I'm sorry that I can't drink it anymore since there are only 120 bottles left 😢.

Junmai (Bounty & Crystal) Bought at Kikisakejo Showagura in Kawagoe because it was so good at the sake expo. It is juicy, not spicy (sweet), but not too sweet. It is quite good. I will definitely repeat the experience. Where can I buy it in Tokyo? 4.3
At Showagura, Koedokura-ri KIKISAKE SAKE PLACE
I was curious to see how sweet a sake with a Sake strength of minus 16 would be, so I chose this one.
It was so sweet that I wondered if it was really that sweet. It is very thick.
Like apple juice? It was!
This is indeed too sweet, so I think it's enough for a tasting.
Lately all I've been doing is beer and ciders, and I thought I'd have a sake day, but I fell asleep...
I've always been curious about it, but Toyoake doesn't carry much of it.
This time, I'm going to use the label to get these fireworks.
Fruity and sweet like a ripe banana, but without much acidity.
The taste is rich and sweet like banana, very rich for a summer sake.
The sharpness is moderate and leaves a slight aftertaste, but it is not persistent.
It is an unusual summer sake with a sweet taste that is typical of Toyoake.
If I had to say, I would prefer melon to banana flavors.
