Hakutsuru Nishiki (variety of unrefined sake)
Sweet aroma. Yogurt flavor in the back! That's why I don't like it. It has a sweet aroma, but the yogurt is in the way. Aaah... 70 points.
Sweetness: 3.4
Acidity: 3
Dryness:2.5
Hinted aroma:3.4
Today was not the day I planned to drink it, but I saw it checked in yesterday and was curious to open it. It is made from Hakutsuru-nishiki, a sibling of Yamada-nishiki (I had never heard of it before). Just by opening the bottle, the gorgeous aroma spread strongly. The lingering aroma and aftertaste are also wonderful. And why is that so? The white ratio is 35% for koji rice and 50% for kake rice, and the price is 1,980 yen for a 4-pack bottle.
Jay & Nobby Good evening. Thank you very much. We are glad to have found a good sake for this memorable milestone. I'm excited to see what I'm going to do with the 19 more brands I have left to reach the 500 brand mark. (It's been 45 years...)
Good evening, AAJI!
Congratulations on your 100th check-in 🎉!
I had a bottle of Hakutsuru-nishiki from Jundo Isshu last year and it was a blissful sake with a nice sweet taste 😋.
Let's continue to enjoy sake more and more 🤗
AAJI, congratulations on your 100 check-ins 🎉㊗️👏The Mellow Road Isshu series of Toyo Bijin is delicious no matter which one you drink 😋Let's continue to meet many more wonderful sakes and make your sake life more fulfilling😊.
Thank you ma-ki-. I will make it a passing point and continue to devote myself to it. Hakutsuru-nishiki is really delicious. This price for this taste. I am very happy.
Thank you very much, Wakata-san. This was the second brand of Jundo Ittou following Yumachi. I think Hakutsuru Nishiki was better than my favorite Omachi. I would like to compare them someday!
Masaaki Sapporo-san Good evening. Thank you very much. I recommend this Toyo Bijin because the taste does not deteriorate so much after opening the bottle. I also like scotch and sometimes drink it. It is fun to drink it with the creator in mind, isn't it?
Izakaya Shinkansen (2)
The second glass was Toyo Bijin Goddess Shizuku Namaishu
This is a standard 😆 of Izakaya Shinkansen from Yamaguchi.
A different pattern for each season!
This one is a fresh, fresh sake!
Clear, crisp, a little sweet, and mmmm, delicious 😋 Toyo Bijin is a steady seller!
At Shin-Kobe, the snacks are over 😭
The last dessert, today, I don't know about you, but "Howari", was sold frozen. When I said I would eat it on the shinkansen on the way home, they put dry ice on it. But shoot! I ate it without taking a picture 🤣.
All that was left was to drink up the remaining oriental beauty 😋 A little sweet, but delicious!

Today's study
There are not many snacks for how hungry I am 🧐.
Shin-Osaka, all I have to do now is chibi and sleep 😪, if I can wake up before Shin-Yokohama. Arrived in Kyoto, still a long way to go.
Takashi, you must be dreaming right now, thanks for the long distance 😊.
This is Sandesi 😳Yamaguchi indeed!
There are quite a few snacks, but were there not enough to fill your stomach? Please fill up in Shin-Yokohama 😊.
Good evening, Takashi😄.
Thanks for the one-day business trip 🙇♀️ and! Shinkansen Izakaya 🏮🚅 is going to be awesome again 😆 Only a drinker can sit next to this one lol.
Anyway, take care to Shin-Yokohama: ❣️
Hi Pon, good evening😊.
Some people don't eat much when they drink a lot, but I eat a lot when I drink too 🤣.
This, Toyo Bijin's Sandesi series, is an essential lineup for the Izakaya Shinkansen from Yamaguchi 🥰.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😊.
I arrived safely in Shin-Yokohama 🥰.
The person next to me today was a very serious person, older than me, and we had bento and tea 🤣.
But I was able to get there without bothering him (probably) 🤣 I was asleep on the way there.
Toyo Bijin Jundo Isshu Hakutsuru Nishiki
The aroma is a modest capsule.
Taste is the usual pineapple as per the Jundo Ittou series! The taste is as usual in the Jundo Ittou series!
However, just like the aroma, it is not too gorgeous, but moderately fruity and has a clean and beautiful impression without being too much on the nose! (The bitterness in the aftertaste may be a bit strong)
The back label has changed 😏.
Yoizakura Ao-san Good evening. I had actually decided not to drink it today, but after reading your comment, I got it today too. I was surprised when I opened the bottle and the aroma spread strongly. The aftertaste is great too!
A limited Junmai Ginjo-shu from Toyo Bijin. It has a strong sweetness, but the strength of the throat is so firm that it is hard to believe it is 14 degrees. But it is a good sake with a clean aftertaste.
At Nihon Shu-Tsubaki in Jujo.
Gorgeous sweet aroma spreads.
Deep sweetness and moderate bitterness.
The aftertaste is crisp.
It goes in softly.
You can drink it with sake alone.

澄川酒造場（山口県萩市）が製造する「東洋美人」が、2023年4月より、オーストラリア・シドニー発のオールデイダイニング「bills」国内外全店舗のハウス日本酒としてオンメニューされました。billsでのハウス日本酒の導入は、今回が初となります。 海外レストランとの提携といえば、「獺祭」の旭酒造（山口県岩国市）が2018年から昨年９月までジョエル・ロブションと提携し、フランス・パリにてレストランを経営していた「La Boutique Dassaï Joël Robuchon」の取り組みも印象的です。 海外レストランとの提携には、どのようなメリットがあるのでしょうか。澄川酒造場 代表取締役社長・澄川宜史さんと、旭酒造 代表取締役社長・桜井一宏さんに、海外レストランと提携する際のポイントや今後の話を聞きました。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア
