This sake is a collaboration between Toyo Bijin and a liquor store that we patronize. The price is surprising for such a high rice polishing ratio and sake quality.
The color is nigori and there are some ori. There is a ginjo aroma, but it is not strong. The texture is smooth and silky, but with a strong sweetness. The acidity is fresh, with a little umami and a slight aftertaste.
As is typical of Toyo Bijin, it can be drunk by itself without any accompaniments, but it has a flavor that makes you want to pair it with grilled fish or chicken.
I am looking forward to drinking it tomorrow and beyond.
The next day: The acidity subsides and the sweetness increases, and surprisingly, the balance is better with cold sake.
When I invited my friends over for a drink at home.
The second bottle was a sake recommended by the liquor store.
They said it was a sake that the liquor store was making in collaboration with a brewery.
Fruity and delicious ♡.
I can't stop drinking it and it goes well with meals!
I'll have to buy this again next year.
Good evening, Mr. Hinde.
Toyo Bijin-san, last year I often had Mellow Road Isshu and I loved it 🎵.
I have not had this one yet, so when I read your review, I would love to have it if I ever come across it 😋.
Alcohol content: 14
Polishing ratio: 35% for koji rice, 45% for kake rice
80% Aizan
The sweetness of Aizan comes out.
It has a sweetness that makes you want to drink it by itself.
I heard that the fire-aged version is also available, so I'm off to buy it!
Hello, Atsu0053 😃
I am so envious that you can go to Mochizuki Sake Bouten to buy their Oriental Taro and Toyo Bijin Betsuatsu Sake!
I often see Mochizuki Sake Bouten on the internet and I would love to make a pilgrimage to their many coveted sake 🍶😊.
Aladdin, thanks for your help! I bought one fire-brewed...it's convenient to have a Mochizuki nearby, but there are a lot of them that don't carry it 😖 Sake is a difficult thing to find....
Transparent in appearance. Fruity aroma. The taste is more syrupy than fruity. It has a sweet aftertaste. Food uses are limited. It is good to drink after a meal. Even fruity lovers may have different tastes.
