うや
I went shopping at Aeon today and found this Toko on the shelf near the expiration date in the sake section. I've never had a sake from Yamagata before so I bought this one. It's a dry and robust sake ☺️. I like the taste. I thought I've never had a sake from Yamagata prefecture but I did. I had a hard time deciding between it and Nanbu Bijin but it didn't matter.

This sake was established in the Azuchi-Momoyama period and is made by Kojima Sohonten in Yonezawa. It has a melon-like fruity taste. It has a refreshing and delicious taste.

August 13, 2023 Dinner at home. In the latter half of the 9-day weekend, the family enjoys a gift from my sister. The first thing we did was to drink Toko sake as an aperitif. First, we opened a bottle of Toko's Ginjo Umeshu as an aperitif. The first thing I did was to open a bottle of Toko's Ginjo-Umeshu as an aperitif. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma that spreads in the mouth. The aroma of ginjo spreads in the mouth. The ginjo aroma is quite strong and reminds us of Torikai, a rice shochu. It has a very strong ginjo aroma and a mouthfeel reminiscent of Torikai, a rice shochu (perhaps because it is based on Kastori shochu?). (Is it because it is based on a sake lees shochu?). It is very rich, so it can be drunk on the rocks or on the rocks. It has a very rich flavor, so it tastes very It has a strong flavor when drunk on the rocks. It is very easy to drink with soda. it is very easy to drink with soda. It is too much to drink I drank it on the rocks and drank it in small sips. but it was so good that I drank it all in one night. I finished it in one night because it was so delicious.

It has also been a long time since Toko! The taste is... rather dry. It's like the bitterness from the delicious taste of the rice is quickly followed by the bitterness of the rice. This is good for a body that is used to sweet and sour! I never get tired of it...

Salmon rolled in kelp that I bought, along with simmered deep-fried tofu and my wife's simmered deep-fried tofu. I am so happy 🙂. After less than two months of training, I returned I came back with a clean body. （😅😅 Thanks again. 😂. I felt the soft taste of rice and enjoyed it at room temperature and enjoyed it with hot sake. 😍. It was easy to drink at room temperature and I felt the goodness of the wine. I enjoyed it at room temperature and felt it had a nice sharpness when hot. To top it off, I had a bowl of ramen that I had always wanted to try. I thought my body would be surprised if I suddenly had a bowl of Yamaoka Ramen. I thought my body would be surprised if I suddenly had a bowl of Yamaoka-Ya, so I decided to have Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen. with beaten egg, raayu, and butter. I went with my favorite version with beaten egg, raayu and butter. I thought my body would be surprised if I had Yamaoka-ke's ramen all of a sudden. I'm not a big fan of that! You might say, "Yamaoka-ke and Sapporo Ichiban are the same! I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. (I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it 😊.

Hello, Hanapin! Good job on completing your detox ✨ I thought that [Yamaoka] at full throttle would be too much for my body, so I thought [Sapporo Ichiban] would be just right for me, but it's quite heavy 😅.

Scoring☆☆☆☆ Toko's Hanami Sake🌸❣️ This is my first time having Toko 😋. First of all, the label lol. Shocking pink? The fancy label of 🎶🤣 makes me want to take it to Hanami just for that! Hanami sake 🌸 should be best at room temperature, rather than overly chilled! So, once it was chilled, I returned it to room temperature lol. Opening the bottle🎉 Gorgeous and fruity aroma that makes you want to drink it under the cherry blossoms in full bloom. ❣️ Gentle sweetness like spring sunshine😍. It has a good flavor, but with a nice sharpness 😋💕. With the nighttime cherry blossoms 🌸 that bloom hard under the apartment 😆👍.
