Here is the starter for the day.
Low alcohol, refreshing and summery, but leaves a strong aftertaste
Toru Yoemon Yoemon Summer Ginga
Just right for gulping down in a glass.
Rice used: Ginga from Iwate
Polishing degree 50%.
Yeast: Association No. 7
Alcohol percentage 14.8%.
Sake meter degree +9
Acidity 1.8
While it has a crisp mouthfeel and moderate acidity, a firm body of umami flavor envelopes the entire bottle.
When we tried it with a low-temperature, slow-fried top loin cutlet, it was the best match for the fat of the loin ^ ^.
It was the perfect accompaniment to replenish energy in early summer.
🙂
Toru Yoemon Natsu Ginga is a repeat summer sake every year.
It has a slight gassy feeling that only direct pumping can give, and this year it also has a delicious umami flavor ♡♡ lol.
I can drink it every day without getting tired of it 😆.
It is the best food wine. Not only does it not interfere with the food, but it does a good job of enhancing the food.
It is a clear, refreshing sake with a subtle sweetness and aroma.

Sake with a mild aroma of grain and a slightly banana-like fruity aroma. It has a strong umami flavor, moderate acidity, little sweetness, a strong alcohol taste, and a robust mouthfeel. We enjoyed it cold, but it would be delicious warmed up. Thank you for the sake!
I wanted to drink a dry one, and the store owner recommended one to me.
What? How do you read "yuyo"? Hmm? There is no such kanji?
I heard it is read as "yoemon" 😊.
It's been a while since I've had a dry one, and it's dry and sharp. Slightly acidic?
I enjoyed it with mapo tofu 😆.
Dry is also good 🍶.
It is good to feel the gusto when you take a sip.
I was in heaven when I ate bonito sashimi with a lot of garlic and poured it down with drunkenemon.
The ruggedness is the best.

I've had super dry sake that was crisp and clear, but this one is deep and bitter...?
I felt bitterness for the first time.
But in the aftertaste, a vanilla-like aroma suddenly appears for a moment.
Classic aroma.
Good evening! (^O^)
Banquet series? The last of the series is Yoemon.
Actually, there is no kanji character yoyo in yuhen.
So, although it is a synthesized coined word, I think it is a very good name.
When I first drank it at a restaurant called "Badalone" in Hanamaki, I was surprised that Iwate has sour sake.
It is said that it was not recognized in Iwate, but was recognized outside the prefecture and evaluated as "reimported".
According to Mr. Murai, the owner of Kibune, it was originally a family-run business, but there were people who got sick or injured, and it became a serious problem!
He had been bottling by hand, but bought a small bottling machine.
Then, the number of bottles drastically increased from 300 to 1,500 per day.
Not only that, but it seems that the fermentation process had been advanced during the hand-pumping process, causing that sourness to appear, and when the bottling process was changed to machine bottling, the taste became clear and clean.
The machine-packing process changed the taste to clear and clean, and suddenly there were more repeat customers, mainly young people, and for the first time the stock in the refrigerator ran out.
This time, I chose a brand that had been aged in the brewery, hoping for a taste of the old days.
It has a light yellowish hue.
It has a slightly thicker texture, as is typical of old sake, but it is easy to drink and has no peculiarities at all.
The acidity, typical of Toruyoemon, is not so noticeable.
It was delicious!
Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai.
Yoemon is my image of raw, ripe, ramen incense.
I have been to Padalone quite a while ago, but I am surprised that it seems to be a very popular restaurant now 😲.
Good evening, Kab! (^O^)
I was invited by my eldest son and his wife to go there before Corona, and it was the most enjoyable restaurant with really heartwarming hospitality and delicious food & drinks.
I want to go there again! (lol).
Good morning, Eirin-san! (≧▽≦)
It is an old sake that tastes good when it is cold, but it may change dramatically when the temperature is raised.
I will try it after today.
Please try it! (Translated by.

Today it is Toru Yoemon. It is a sake from Iwate.
I was curious about this sake brewery because I read about it in dancyu.
I went to have dinner at a restaurant and found Toru Yoemon there.
I had no idea that I would find Junmai Namaisake!
I had to try it!
The aroma is like whiskey.
The color is a light amber.
I heard that it actually had a little more fizz, but it had been a while since the bottle was opened, so I couldn't really taste it.
It was served cold, and the taste was sweet like raisins and brown sugar, with a sharp acidity. It has a bitter aftertaste with a freshness that makes it very drinkable, yet refreshing.
In my mind, this sake has the taste of old Awamori sake!
It is a unique taste that I have never had with sake before, but it reminded me of a delicious old Awamori Zuisen that I drank a long time ago.
