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.

Delicious Sake in a Wineglass Award 2025🎖️ Of all the top gold medal-winning brands that you can't buy locally... I couldn't resist snapping it up since it was available on Amazon 😅. Of course I'm opening my first bottle of Yamagata Prefecture, Toko 🍶😁. When I opened the bottle, it smells like rich and juicy fruit🍎🥭✨. I'm excited before I even drink it 😆. And now for the sip 🤤... 🤤. The taste is just the right amount of tropical 🏝️ sweetness and umami, with just the right amount of sharpness to convince me that it's a top gold award winner👍 And...I take my hat off to the price of less than 1700 yen...🙂‍↕️ The sake is low for a sake, but with 16% alcohol by volume, it's a little alcoholic but just right 😍. Looking forward to the taste change on the second day✨ However, this kind of award🎖️ I think the most consumer-friendly one is the salmon competition 🤔. Day 2 notes: 🗒️ The taste change is towards a stronger alcohol taste and a bitter aftertaste 😅... I personally prefer the first day 😊.

Yonezawa City. It is easy to drink with a pleasant taste. It has a clear taste and is crisp, so you will never get tired of drinking it. Goes well with meals.

How about this for a change? It's been a long time since I had a drink... maybe 20 years... It brings back memories! Sweet, sour, spicy, and gassy. But the flavor is a little powdery? It's too bad😅 But it's reasonably priced so I'll let it go. 5

This must be the second time at Toko itself. (I drank it at an izakaya in Shimokitazawa.) The taste is similar to the first one, Silk.
