うや
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!

Well, today is a weekday, but I was a little tired, so I drank! This is the first time for me to drink at home on such a weekday night! Toyo Bijin by Sumikawa Shuzojo! This time it was Jihonbeni! I had only ever had Toyo Bijin at Jyundo Ittou, so I thought it was rare and got it! So, let's have it right away! The first day First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma. When you put it in your mouth, your brain reacts with a beautiful sweetness and a bit of fruity flavor. After that, there is a refreshing bitter taste. It has a clean taste with a refreshing sweetness and a slight bitterness lingering in the mouth. It is easy to drink and delicious! When served with a meal, the bitterness is also felt well, so it does not disturb the meal too much. The second day Not too sweet and fruity in the mouth. The spiciness and bitterness spread in the mouth from the mid-palate. A little bit of alcohol gives it a kick. When served with a meal, it is sweet and pungent with a touch of alcohol. 5th day When you put it in your mouth, a beautiful sweetness spreads quickly, with a slight spiciness, bitterness and alcohol. Overall, it seems to have become milder. Powered by the sake, I will continue to work hard from tomorrow.
