The 18th bottle 🍶 to drink at home in 2025.
I opened a bottle of Tobiroki I bought almost a year ago on a whim 🪽The bottle and label are chic and cool😎The taste was of course delicious😋.
I love Fukushima sake such as Sharaku and Hirotogawa, but I personally find Tobiroki a bit special. It is "delicious ❗" without any logic.
I am sorry for my lack of vocabulary.
For me, it was a gem that moved me that much.
By the way, this is a light nigori sake.
The ninth cup is a "Tobiroki" as I haven't seen a special pure type in a while ✨.
Moist, yet clear and light. It has a sharp minerality and a good rice flavor. While the sweet, spicy, acidic and astringent tastes are woven together, each one is chic and sharp with a sense of stability without being overly assertive.
It is THE Tobiroki deliciousness...!
I had it by the glass! But I don't know.
I enjoyed the freshly opened flavor!
It's really nice to be able to come here by yourself 💓.
I had a bit of A5 ranked Yamagata beef.
They said it goes well with sake!
It's divine! I was so happy.
Thank you to the restaurant and everyone involved today!
I will cherish each and every day!
It was a time that made me feel that way!
Thank you to the store for accepting me even though I was only one person! Thank you ✨
Hi Jay & Nobby😄!
Thank you for your comment!
I was pretty drunk at the time and looked like this 🥹 lol. It was a time when I felt happy to be able to drink something that tastes so good now that I remember it ✨.
The other six recommended sakes of the day are not quite to my liking!
So let's choose a sake from the mobile order!
There's also the usual suspects like 寫楽, Hiroki, Hanayuup, Murayu, Dewazakura, and more!
And they're all reasonably priced!
Today I was shown to a table far from the cold storage, so I snapped this on my phone!
Tobiroki's standard special junmai!
Sourness of Senkou, then fruity sweetness and finally bitterness!
Two more entrées came, so we were entertained for almost an hour!
More and more guests arrived as time went by!
Now, I'm off to the hotel to relax 🏨!
As soon as I was napping at the hotel, I received a message on my LINE from my sake friends from Izakaya Hanataro asking me how I was doing!
I replied that I would have a drink with you all again when I can!
Thank you for your concern 😊.
