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.

Sensation of juiciness on the tongue Impression of hard fruit There is a unique characteristic that is typical of Yamagata Prefecture. There is a tingling sensation in the throat and a long aftertaste.

Souvenir of business trip to Yonezawa🍶. The aroma is calm and mellow. The sweetness comes first, followed by a crisp, well-balanced taste with good acidity and umami.

Toko Sake by weight: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Junmai Daiginjo-shu Dewa Kirari Unfiltered, raw sake 100% Dewa Kirari, 50% rice polishing ratio, 17% ALC I went on a trip to Yamagata Prefecture for two days and one night from 10/28 to 10/29. We got off the bullet train at Yonezawa and enjoyed Yonezawa beef for lunch at a restaurant run by a butcher shop. We walked around Yonezawa castle ruins and enjoyed a few tastings at Toko's Sake Brewery Memorial Museum😃. Then we took the Ou Line to Kaminoyama Onsen and stayed overnight after enjoying Nakajoya's Tempura Manju soft serve ice cream with grains of bean paste topping 😁. The next day we headed to Yamagata, where we toured Kasumijo Park, enjoyed Dondo-yaki, Yamagata Ramen, and sake tasting at Beni no Kura 🥰. At Toko's Sake Brewery Museum, we tasted the sake that was available for tasting & the Junmai Daiginjo-shu unfiltered raw sake that was sold by weight, and decided to purchase this sake and sent it home via cool courier service 🤗. I returned to Tokyo after buying some local sake from Yamagata Prefecture, so the review of Yamagata sake will continue 😄. It has a subtle ginjo aroma, a mild yet slightly dry taste on the palate, and a clean and tasty rice flavor 😋. It's easy to drink and never gets old...well worth the purchase 👍😁😁.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 55% / 16% / 2410 100% Yamagata rice This sake has a strong, juicy, sweet taste with the strength of a pure sake. And it is a carbon neutral sake. 🍶.

#Funabori# Here's a fall sake for tonight 😋. Slightly sweet. You can taste the rice flavor. I had it with tomato slices, but I think it will make a strong statement even with strong flavored okazu. I think it will make a strong statement even with a strong-flavored okazu. ☝️

It seems to go well with any meal. Not too sweet for a junmai daiginjo, and the aroma is restrained.
