I heard a voice actor say that the sake of Yamaguchi Prefecture is delicious ottersai, but Toyo Bijin! So I bought it. It's very dry, and the first sip is so spicy that it's hard to believe, but the aftertaste disappears quickly. Yes, it is indeed delicious. I want to drink the other ones too. This is good. I also got some sake for the new year, but I'll post more about that in the New Year.

I'm not going to let anything stop me. Lightly crisp, fruity, sweet and sour aroma. Melon Horseback or Pear Because it is origari, it is light white. The aftertaste is moderately sour and refreshing. It is easy to drink and is perfect for when you want to lift your spirits.

This is my first Toyo Bijin. I had drunk Yachiyo Shuzo's Room twice and wondered what kind of Toyo Bijin was in its class, but I happened to find it at a store I had been visiting for a while, so I bought it on the spur of the moment! The standing aroma is tropical and a bit gorgeous with pineapple and melon fruits. Is this the sweetness of Oriental Beauty? The sweetness is firm but moist and not stinging! There is also an impression of peach in addition to the fruits mentioned earlier. It is sweet, but not unpleasantly so, and has a very elegant bitterness, so it can be paired with appetizers, such as salads and cheese. This is the taste of Miyamanishiki of Hanahayo and Junodai of Hachitanishiki, right? This is delicious! Speaking of fruity sweet sake without any corners, Ding was great, but Toyo Bijin is also great!

It is said to be very dry, but... it is refreshing while retaining the sweetness and tenderness of Toyo Bijin. It was good, but if you want to drink dry, you should drink other brands.... It was tasty, but if you want to drink dry, you can drink other brands.... LOL!

It is fresh, fruity and juicy. It has a soft, sweet mouthfeel and goes well with food. It is also reasonably priced.

4.0 A dessert-like sake with a strong sweetness. No need for snacks. Just you. Personally, I prefer it to be a bit more sizzling, but it's good enough.

4.0★★★★☆ Sweet and fruity. Melon-like. However, it is sticky-sweet, and although it is a dessert type, it somehow does not leave a rich taste in the latter half of the bottle. Although the sweetness is felt on the tongue, it does not remain by the time the drink is finished in the throat, which is strange. Maybe it's because I've been drinking a lot of nama sake lately and prefer something fresh, but I feel a little underwhelmed. I wonder if it would be good if there was a fresh sake of this type?

It's been a while since I've had a Toyo Bijin 🍶. 　The palate has rice sweetness and a slight bitterness. 　The bitter aftertaste lingers, but does not linger, so it is refreshing.
