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.

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.

a little spicy Clear and transparent I'm on a business trip to Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, so I'll have some local sake. Yum! I modestly paired it with a skewer of Yonezawa beef, but the meat was delicious! The sake was good too!
