A bottle purchased at the brewery's direct sales store at the Toko Sake Brewery Museum, which I stopped by during a trip to Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, in September.
The rice used is 100% Yamagata-grown Mai rice.
Polishing ratio is 55
The alcohol content is 16%.
Sake level is unknown, but it is a dry ginjo.
The aroma when the bottle is opened is calm and clear, with a fresh, cool, green apple-like aroma. It is combined with a slightly pear-like fruity aroma.
When poured into a sake cup, it presents a clear, transparent, and extremely pale golden color. The thickening is light.
When you take a sip, it has a sharp and clear mouthfeel with a slight fruitiness like green apples. In the mid-palate, a firm core of rice flavor emerges, followed by a soft sweetness. The finish is very crisp, with a dry aftertaste that quickly disappears. The lingering aftertaste is short, leaving the tongue with remnants of the rice flavor and a slight bitterness. The impression is that it has a clear sharpness.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with a slight roundness and thickness on the tongue, dry but not too hard.
Personally, I prefer to drink it cold or at room temperature, as the flavor changes.
Sake served at a friend's house.
One sip and it tasted dry! It tastes like a dry sake.
Yes, it is just as the label says.
It has a light aroma and flavor.
It's been a long time since we've had a chance to talk.
We used to talk about children...
Talking about caring for parents and end-of-life care!
It was a day that I think I'm doing okay because I have this kind of drinking time 😌.
