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.

Gentle on the palate, with the sweetness and aroma of rice, it is mellow and very easy to drink. The lingering taste in the mouth is also good. It is a sake that can be drunk in large gulps!

☀️ I went to the Sake Prefecture Yamagata Fair🤗. Next stop is Toko. This place also serves as Masamune Research. In the past they had a brand called "Toko Masamune". We haven't seen it in recent years, so we came here to ask the brewery staff 😆. Hunter: "Did you make Toko Masamune in the past?" The brewery owner said, "Oh, you know it well. ❗️ but it is no longer sold. Originally it was Toko and for a while they also produced Toko Masamune 😄". Yes, it was sold out. So we will have Toko 😋. The main flavors are umami and astringency, with little sweetness. It has a refreshing taste. I also had a bottle of Retsu with it, so I'll just take a picture.... I see that it is a beautiful sake 🧐.

Alcohol content: 15 Dewa Tsanzan Rice polishing ratio: 50 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Left torsion is apparently a slang term from the Edo period to describe a sake drinker. The person who brought this was right-handed. The aroma is indeed like tropical fruit. In the mouth, it is smooth like water. The taste was fruity, with a noticeable sweetness and acidity. It was a delicious sake.
