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.

It sat at freezing zero for four years (I forget). It turned out to have an unexpected flavor. Aromas of taro, honey and honeydew melon. The wine is smooth and gentle, with a firm, full-bodied structure. There is a sense of honey and noble rot. Should be good with desserts. Long finish. Pairing: Fondue Score: 93/100

The aroma! It's already a high-end fruit juice🍐It has a fruit-like sweetness but with a clean aftertaste. I didn't know there was such a sake 🩵Another new discovery. Perfect for aperitifs and desserts! It would be good as a sparkling or something 🤤. No particular snacks (I didn't have any snacks on hand that would go well with it).

Na, sharu, it will be done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Junmai Ginjo, 60% polished rice ratio, 17% ALC This is the fourth kind of sake we purchased on our trip to Yamagata 🤗. We opened it to celebrate our grandson's Shichi-Go-San (age 5) and drank it with the parents of our daughter-in-law. In order to accomplish something, it is important to act first 🤗... 😅... how nice 😅. The sake was slightly dry, refreshing and easy to drink. Uesugi Joshi En: 20241028 purchased & 1203 opened

The second bottle is a sake from Yonezawa. It is a classic sake with a hint of sweetness, rice flavor, and sharpness 🍶. The brewery was founded in 1597😳.

Place of purchase: Roadside Station Yonezawa (Souvenir) [Snacks] Baked Jyoshu green onion with olive oil. Smooth with a mild aroma and a slightly thickened taste. I think it is just the right amount of dryness for a meal. Rating: A
