A little drink every day. First visit in a long time. There were unusually few customers today, probably because of the snow and teleworkers. I sipped my sake quietly. It has a crisp aroma from the sweet flavor and a gentle aftertaste. It is delicious.
We received a "Nagano no Toji Tasting Comparison of All 7 Types" at our favorite chuin (Part 2) 🍶.
This is a commemorative sake for the 100th anniversary of Shinshu's sake store, Jizakeya Miyajima.
The seven sakes brewed by female toji in Shinshu were collected.
No.2 is "Toyoga" (Toyoka).
This sake is brewed by the toji, Kayoko Takazawa of Takazawa Shuzo.
She has been the toji since 2005 and has launched Toyooka as a new brand, working with her husband and wife to brew sake that maximizes the flavor of the rice and pursues a crisp taste.
Sorry, I was uninformed about Toyoga😅.
The aroma is rather sake-like.
Soft mouthfeel.
Dry umami with acidity and a hint of rice sweetness that comes later.
It is a dry sake with an umami taste that is different from the light dry sake, and conveys a sense of quality.
Toyoga seems to have a variety of sake qualities, so I would like to try others.
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
Wow! You are doing a fun drinking contest 🤗
Toyoga! I've been curious about this sake 😫 since I missed out on buying it 🥹I'll get it when the stock gets low 👍.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
It was very enjoyable 😁Toyoga, did you know that 😳I'm sure you were right 👍I could only drink 40ml each, but they were all drinks I would like to try at home 😊🍶.
It has a rich, sweet aroma and a slightly effervescent taste.
It has a robust flavor, so it goes well with sweet and salty stewed dishes.
I paired it with oden and it was delicious!

Toyoga Junmai Ginjo Orange Label - Autumn Agari 720ml
Rice：Hitogochiki
Rice polishing ratio: 59
Alcohol content: 16
We opened the bottle of Toyoga Autumn Age, which we bought at a liquor store in Chikuma last month ^ ^.
According to the website of Tenshuji, hiyaoroshi is "a sake that expresses and anticipates the past, present, and future at the same time, and should be a sake that makes you feel the workings of time".
The sense of maturity softens considerably after opening the bottle and disappears by the second day.
The only word I can say to describe it is that it was delicious 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆.
Please look for it next time you are in Shinshu!
I'll be there the week after next and if I can find it, I'll buy it ^ ^.
I'll buy one for Jay & Nobby too 😆.
The texture is sweet and then spicy, with the spiciness of sake coming straight to the throat, not very spicy but with a sake feel from start to finish.
Invited by the store's SNS.
It has a mild but acidic taste and is perfectly balanced as a food sake.
This is the first time I've had this brand, but I'm impressed by the high level of sake from Nagano.
This is super balanced!
Great sake-like and drinkable!
Great with any Japanese food!
I paired it with Marunasu eggplant meat miso and ume cue!

Toyoga, purchased in June, has been opened.
It is slightly sweet and has a slight sourness. It's not juicy, but it's delicious with a long aftertaste 😋.
I'll have to look for more Toyoga.
Well, since my trip to Shinshu was postponed on Saturday afternoon, I went looking for Shinshu sake in the neighborhood.
I took a cue from Jay & Nobby and uploaded the third one.
I had a lot of doubts, but I decided to go with Kougetsu, Daishinshu, Ding, and Beaumichel ^ ^.
I was lucky enough to run into Tasake and Collage Year One by chance: ✌️
Thank you very much, Pon 😊.
Just heard that the autumn sake from Daishinshu is scheduled to arrive today and decided to wait a while. However, the liquor store confirmed with the brewery that it would be delivered the next day 😭.
Might go back next week 😆.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi 😃
I'm sure you've been to Shinshu? The shop has a great selection of products and also a great selection of rice wine and Collage 😳.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find it here 😅! I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞.
I noticed that you can find everything in the neighborhood except 😅.
I ended up going to three stores, but I'm done prepping for what's next and which one I'll go for here 😆.
