This bottle has an elegant pineapple-like aroma and sweetness, with a medium lingering taste, and after a slight bitterness, the flavor seems to disappear when you notice it. It is best served with fruit.
[Tidbits of knowledge]
The name "Toyo Bijin" comes from the fact that it was named in memory of the late wife of the first brewer. The fourth generation of the family, Mr. Yoshifumi Sumikawa, has taken advantage of his training at the Takagi Sake Brewery to improve the quality of sake and introduce new sake brewing techniques.
I wanted to drink Toyo Bijin and found it at Fresta. It is fruity, sweet and delicious. Good cost performance.
Next time I want to try something different at the liquor store.

Next up was Toyo Bijin!
I've been going to Yamaguchi for work recently, so I've seen a lot of Toyo Bijin, but I've never seen this label before😳I don't think I've seen it at Sake-no-wa either,
I don't think I've ever seen this label before, even at Sake-no-wa. Even so, why wouldn't I have seen this label? I looked it up and found out that it is a limited edition of a certain liquor store!
When I drank it, I found it to be sweet and tasty (typical of Toyo Bijin), but also beautiful.
But it's beautiful.
It's a bit pricey in Ginza, but it's a super-cost-effective super-dinner drink.
It's like a super-cost-effective, super-drinking sake!
The last picture is from the first Chinese restaurant (forgot to take a picture of the yakitori 😭)
Good morning, Takashi 😃!
Nice Chinese to Yakitori drink in Ginza ✨I'm also interested in this brand of Toyo Bijin 😍I see it's a limited edition sake! I'll check it out ✨
Good morning, Takashi!
After all you can drink at Chinese restaurant, you drank again 😁✨.
Time flies when you get together with friends from your school days 😊.
This is the first time I've seen this oriental beauty and I'm very curious 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-😊.
I really enjoy the time I spend drinking and eating with my casual friends 🥳.
I've never seen an oriental beauty either, that was interesting too 😜.
Today my wife and I went to our favorite yakiniku restaurant for a drink!
The first glass was Jikin's special Junmai Namaizu, which we had last time!
It had been quite a while since we last had it, but it was definitely delicious!
So the second glass at our favorite yakitori restaurant was a bottle of Toyo Bijin by Sumikawa Shuzojo!
This time, it was Aizan from Jyundo Isshu!
Last year, all of them were delicious!
So let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. Not much aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the gentle sweetness spreads, and the bitterness that accompanies it is exquisite.
The lingering sweetness and bitterness that spreads smoothly in the mouth is irresistible~!
This year's sake was a definite winner!
Good morning, ma-ki 😃.
I've only had Toyo Bijin Kone Aizan, but after drinking this one, it's become a brand I'd like to try other kinds ✨The sweet and bitter is impressive 😍.
ma-ki-, good morning 😃There are so many drinks I want to drink that I can't get to Toyo Bijin these days, but when I see a review like this of a delicious drink, it makes me want to drink again 😊I love drinking time with the wife 💕.
Good morning, ma-ki-😊.
Nice to spend time with your wife at your usual yakitori restaurant 🥰.
After all, oriental beauty is this kind of thing 🤣 they are all delicious, though.
Thank you for your comment, ichiro18!
Was this your first oriental beauty 🎵?
The sweet and bitter taste is really exquisite and impressive 😋.
I hope to drink a lot of Toyo Bijin this year too 🤗.
Thanks for your comment, Wakata!
Yes, it's true - there are times when you want to drink too much alcohol and have to put it off for a long time 😅.
It's nice to be able to have a quick drink outside at such times 🤗.
Thank you for your comment, Takashi!
You drank a rare Toyo Bijin, didn't you 🎵.
We also enjoyed the stablemate from last year, Jyundo Ittouzan 😋.
We had a great time drinking again 😊.
It has a fruity mouthfeel that is typical of Toyo Bijin.
The spiciness was similar to that of the Masamune Instrument Honjozo, but the fruity taste had a shorter aftertaste.
I heard that it is less sweet than other Toyo Bijin, so I would like to try other Toyo Bijin as well.
This sake is limited to Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is sweet and soft on the palate. Its flavor lingers in the mouth. When swallowed, it leaves a faint sweet aftertaste. Easy to drink. It is delicious.
