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!

The origin of the name "Toyo Bijin", a famous sake from Yamaguchi, is said to have been named by the first brewer in memory of his late wife. The aroma is almost imperceptible due to a stuffy nose, but when you drink it, it has a slight pineapple feeling, a mellow umami, a soft sweetness, and an acidity that cuts through nicely 😋. It was well-balanced and very easy to drink 🍶!

It was late, but the restaurant was still open. We were invited to sit behind the counter. The two customers ahead of us also left the restaurant without much delay. Let's enjoy our meal slowly! I remembered to submit my coupon for the day, so I got an extra piece of tempura later! I'm looking forward to it! Top tempura as usual! I'll have sea urchin and oysters, too! Naturally, we had to drink Toyo Bijin! It was the opening! Junmai Ginjo Nao Kumi Nama! A good selection! A little sweet sake seems to be good for relieving fatigue! I haven't had this sake in two years! Last time was in Morioka, wasn't it? We enjoyed hot tempura and sipped the cold sake! Knowing the secrets of the sake Rice used: Domestic rice Polishing: Koji rice: 40% / Kake rice: 50 Specified name sake, etc. Junmai Ginjo / Nama Shu Strength: 16%.

I like it because it is well-balanced, with a good aroma even though it is called "very dry". It has a moderate sense of Yamadanishiki, but not too much Junmai. Green bamboo, lime, slight peach

On my way home from work on a weekday... I stopped by a local convenience store. I looked in the sake corner 🍶 to see if I could find anything of interest... Most of the sake they had was Hattatsuyama, but why this one 😱⁉️ They have Toyo Bijin's fresh sake (⁉️) And I found myself buying it 🤭 lol I couldn't resist it 😅 And then the stable...open the bottle...☺️ Ginjo aroma that will blow away your weekday guilt✨ Here comes the pizzazz of the raw sake! I thought... it didn't come at all 🧐. But it's soooo fresh... like freshly picked apples 😊I'm drinking it after dinner and it's... delicious 😋. I love the sweetness, the flavor, and the aftertaste that disappears quickly and doesn't get in the way 😍. This isn't the level of sake you can find in a convenience store 😅😋 ‼️ lol Well...even though it was a weekday drinking at home, I enjoyed it a lot 🥳. Well...I'll do my best at work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow 😓.

Good evening Jay & Nobby, ‼️✨ Well... it was just a convenience store... but it was a convenience store 😅. I'm hoping that if I visit some supermarkets, I might find something I didn't expect ⁉️
