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 🧐.

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.
Inspired by a Mexican tequila that I saw in Yamagata, I found it at a nearby supermarket and gave it a try. It has a light sweet taste, followed by a refreshing dry taste, making it easy to drink. It would be nice if they sold it in cans like this.
Limited Junmai Daiginjo from Yonezawa Kojima Sohonten. Purchased after touring the museum at the long-established brewery that was under the Uesugi family's warrant. It has a rice polishing ratio of 45% and is very fruity, gorgeous, and delicious. The fact that it is a limited edition sake is also 👍.
