Not much info on the mysterious Toyo Bijin 💃✨.
My personal impression, if anything, the roundness of the rice, a bit close to junmai sake? I was curious about Toyo Bijin, so I came across it.

Enjoy the sweet and refreshing aroma
Limited edition brewed in the popular Shunyo
Toyo Bijin, a famous sake brewed in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, boasts high popularity nationwide.
Shunyo is a variety that has been attracting attention in recent years for its low protein content, large grain size, and 4mmp, which produces a lot of sweet and refreshing aroma like a muscat. This junmai ginjo sake is made from 50% polished rice and carefully brewed.
This bottle combines the gorgeousness of Toyo Bijin with the charm of Shunyo. Please enjoy it carefully.
When opened, it had a strong rummy flavor, so it was stored at ice temperature for a few days and reviewed after it settled down.
Refreshing white peach mouthfeel, immediately followed by concentrated white peach flavor and sugar.
Peach skin to apple skin bitterness, also strong.
A lingering aftertaste of quite a bitterness.
Balanced in spite of its strength, but I felt it was a little too strong in many ways.
Alcohol content: 14
Yamadanishiki, Brewer's alcohol
Rice polishing ratio: 35% (Koji rice), 40% (Kake rice)
This is the first Toyo Bijin Asoe I have tasted.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma.
Soft mouthfeel, no bitterness, sweetness and acidity predominate, and it is delicious without alcohol.
It was a little disappointing that the Japanese paper on the label had crumbled because it had been soaked in water to cool it down.
Served in JAL business class. The rich umami flavor is immediately recognizable as a good sake. The sake has a very good finish, with the flavor of sake well extracted, with no cloying taste, yet not too sharp. I became a fan.
What a great way to start the day 🍶, the second sake for Toyo Bijin🍶.
Well, you have to drink Yamaguchi Prefecture's sake too 😅.

A few years ago, a junior girl in my neighborhood got married to Yamaguchi Prefecture 🥹💖.
It's a wonderful thing 😊👍
Strong sweetness and a pleasantly gentle lingering bitterness 🤤.
Hakutsuru Nishiki is delicious 😋.

Long time purchase!
This is more than dry.
Not so much for those who like sweet!
The sweetness comes softly at the end.
Thank you very much!
