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.

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 👍.

It's plum wine, but it was too good to be true. I've never been so impressed with plum wine, which I'm not very good at. A friend of mine brought it to me by accident.

The aroma has a tangy flavor that is unique to sake in its original state. But it is not that spicy, and is easy to drink for a pure sake. The taste is not too strong and has a nice sharpness, but you may want to have something to go with it.
