While somewhat discreetly sweet, the Aftertaste is dry. Good sharpness 😋. I'm under the impression that this would be even better with a little bubbly ✨. However, as the temperature rises, the sharpness becomes duller and the sweetness becomes more pronounced. The sweetness becomes more pronounced. I think it's better when it's cold 😋.

I bought this one at Kimura Sake Brewery after hesitating between it and Daishinshu. I have had Toko before, but this was my first time to try Yong. The top aroma is mild but fruity. As the introduction of Shusen-do Horikazu says, it does have a hint of cherries, doesn't it? It is dry and fresh with a moderate sweetness. A little citrusy? Sharp dry sake. A little too light for me? A little too light for me. After a few days, the dryness settles down.

I went to Yonezawa City during Golden Week and purchased this sake at Toko's Sake Brewery. Nyu is a sake that is only available in Yamagata. With a coupon I got at a roadside station in Yonezawa, I got a sake bottle with Toko's name on it. It is a dry sake with a Sake meter rating of +6. It was easy to drink with a clean taste. 1760 yen.

Fourth bottle after emptying Chiba's Koshi... I did it again. I only have a faint memory of it, but I think it was a citrusy, refreshing sake! Personal recommendation: about 7 points?

Yonezawa, Kojima Sohonten Toko "Yumi", limited to Yamagata. Not only is it dry, crisp and easy to drink. Not only is it dry, crisp, and easy to drink, but it also has a refreshing green apple-like ginjo aroma. Well, well, well. This is a delicious sake. Serve with butterbur sprouts tempura.

Literally, sake that is only distributed in Yamagata 🍶🍶. Refreshing aroma✨ Clean and dry taste 😋. Certainly dry enough 🍶 👍️ It also has a strong umami flavor 😉.

Aroma is modest, but honey apple and milk-based richness. The aroma is clean and gentle, with occasional hints of Western liquor. Sweet and tasty with moderate acidity. Spicy and dry aftertaste. PS : On the first day, I felt a mineral-like powdery taste and wrote "chalk" or something, but did I feel a kind of umami? Gradually it became less of an issue, and by the third day, the full-bodied flavor had increased and there was a unique deliciousness!

It's time for a night of drinking with two women born in the town of Shirataka, Yamagata, and I don't remember what it tastes like (I do remember things that have an impact or that I want to drink again, even if I'm drunk). This is... Almost the entire list, all of it delicious.
