A drinking buddy gave it to me as a gift 🙌🩷.
I had received Toyo Bijin-sama at a Bijin no Kai and my friend, whose parents live in Yamaguchi Prefecture, bought it as a souvenir on her way back home 🥰.
It's rich, sweet and delicious ‼️ and quite sweet, but it's also very robust 💖.
Yamaguchi prefecture has good soy sauce and miso, and the sweetness has a strong masculine flavor😍.
Today we have fried horse mackerel, low temperature cooked loin ham, edamame, soy milk tofu✨.
The sweetness of the sake was delicious and didn't interfere with any of the dishes! But I'm sure there are better pairings that take advantage of the sweetness? I'm sure there are better pairings out there 🧐.
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Pekho 😄!
Good to see you 💕I was worried something was wrong since you haven't posted at all 🥺You must have been busy 😅But I'm really relieved to see your stunning pairing after a long time 😮💨 I'm glad you are well 🥹.
HinaHanaMama 🩷I finally got to drink ‼️ because my husband had to take me to and from a series of company drinking parties 🚗 and I couldn't drink and he couldn't drink good alcohol either 💦 but now that it's over, I'm going to drink 😍
Good evening, Pekho 😃.
You and your wife have survived well through your sake abstinence training 😓! I'm impressed by ‼️ so enjoy your delicious sake 👋
Jay & Nobby 🩷Good evening ‼️ we did well - 🇯🇵🙌 I feel like drinking in the morning already 🤣I hope to enjoy summer drinks much more this year ‼️ and summer vegetables will be in season too 🥰👍
Overall 9 (out of 10)
When a friend of Pekho's went back to his parents' home in Yamaguchi
He bought it for me as a souvenir (thank you).
It's delicious ❣️😋
It's rich and sweet, but you don't feel the taste.
I see what you mean 😋.
It's not cutting, but it doesn't leave a lingering aftertaste👍.
And at 14 degrees, it's easy to drink👍
We had it chilled.
Paired impressions by Pekho 😅
Here are my personal impressions😅😅

Good evening, shinsaku3😄!
It's been a while since I've posted here!
I've never had Toyo Bijin 😆 I've never had it 😆 I guess it's manly sweet 🤤 It must be very heavy and rich 🥰 I'd like to have it in between summer sakes👍
Good evening, shinsaku3 😃.
Our image of Toyo Bijin = sweet 😋, but I'm curious about the "manly sweet" 😁.
Also, I heard that "Jifanbeni" is now available in a four-pack bottle, so I'd like to try that one too!
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I've been having a lot of work-related drinking parties recently (which will continue for a while yet 😩) so I haven't been able to drink the sake I wanted to 😢.
To be honest, I have an image that it's a little bit not suitable for summer 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's definitely the sweet taste, but somehow it didn't seem harsh or mouth-watering 😃.
I'm interested in Jifangbeni (read Zipangu 😳) ❣️
A limited distribution product of Toyo Bijin.
I didn't know this kind of sake was available 💦.
The owner says that "shindo-fuji" means that the body and the local climate cannot be separated.
Alcohol content 16%.
Made with Yamadanishiki
The sweet and mellow taste of this beauty is unmistakable.
But the aftertaste is clean and crisp 😊.
Of all the beauties I've met so far, I can easily drink Body and Earth ✨.
The snack was an assortment of horse sashimi, and the combination with the red meat was just delicious 😋.
SOUMACHO, here's another one 😊🙏.
I've never seen this label 😳The taste is the same and it's so refreshing! I like oriental beauties so I'm curious 😁.
It's a nice store that I can see you were challenged by!
Pon, thanks for your help here too😄.
It was my first time to see the body and soul too.
If you like Toyo Bijin, you will love it 😊👍.
It was a nice place where you could feel the owner's dedication to sake 🍶.
This is Toyo Bijin, a collaboration with Marukyu, a local supermarket.
It is gorgeous and fruity, so you can enjoy it on its own.
Tonight, I will enjoy it with Gansu.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
It was absolutely recommended by Ryuta, who is in charge of sake at the restaurant and is a certified sake taster.
I would like to try more sake from this brewery.
