It has been a long time since I have been to Toyo Bijin.
It is not my favorite type of sake, but I ordered it because it is very spicy.
Unlike the usual Toyo Bijin, the combination of spiciness and bitterness makes it a very crisp finish. It gives the impression that it is an accent on the usual Oriental Beauty.
Toyo Bijin Jihonben: Daiginjo
Sumikawa Shuzo (Yamaguchi)
I kept looking for it based on my memory that it was delicious, and when I tried it, I found it to be quite balanced and sweet.

Internet information says it seems to be limited to restaurants and uses equal amounts of rice. The specs are undisclosed.
It was gorgeous and sweet.
The taste was somewhat clear and transparent.
Rafa and I were talking about how there are stores near us where you can buy Toyo Bijin, but we don't buy it often.
This year's Taro Series is Mochizuki Shoten's private brand at Sumikawa Sake Brewery
Toyo Bijin Junmai Daiginjo Oriental Taro Aizan 45%💗.
14% alcohol by volume ✳︎
The gorgeous dancing Taro expresses the glamour and deliciousness of Toyo Bijin. ⭐︎ The fan is decorated with the Mochizuki Shoten logo and looks as if it is about to start moving.
Toyo Bijin in full bloom is made with Aizan, and the gorgeousness and sweetness that is typical of Toyo Bijin are still present.â
The bitter aftertaste is unbelievably delicious compared to the raw sake, and it is easy to match with meals. ❣️
A direct match with a great sharpness.
Delicious!
Now that it's scorching hot, Taro is fired up and it's Taro's turn 🔥.

This is a delicious sake 🍶 with the sweetness of Aizan.
It is lighter than raw and you may wonder if you can drink it for the rest of your life🙆
It's mid-September before I know it... It's been another hot and long summer, and the calendar has turned to autumn 🍂.
As usual, I always take a peek at the liquor section of the supermarket while grocery shopping.
Well, I don't expect to find it since I'm not a sake specialist... but for some reason, one store has it 🤩... Toyo Bijin ✨.
This is the 💁 fall limited edition Jun Dai 😁.
Well, let's open the bottle right away 🍶🍶.
The aroma...hmmm! Hmmm!
I've had a lot of sake with a fruity aroma, but... it's something different 🤔.
If I had to say...it's like the smokiness of a baked apple instead of a raw apple ❓.
When you take a sip, you get the impression that the rich sweetness described on the tag is spreading, but the aftertaste disappears easily.
I can only use a personal analogy...it tastes like freshly eaten apples 🍎 = I love the taste of the Goddess Shizuku and Winter Poem that I drank in the past.
This one tastes like aged apples made into an apple pie = I love you Autumn Poem
I'm not sure how to describe it, but I hope you get the idea 😅.
I think it is autumnal 🤔.
Day 2: 🗒️
The flavor is more delicious: ⤴️
And at the same time, a little bit smokiness.... But the overall balance is excellent 👍
