The smooth texture of the wine is followed by a rich, mellow flavor that spreads out.
The dry sharpness comes through from there: ❗️
The balance between umami and sharpness is wonderful and most delicious: ❗️
It goes very well with fatty seasonal fish dishes and meat dishes with good flavor.
I accompanied my husband on his business trip to Yamagata for a family vacation✨
I thought Yamagata was somewhat cool in the Tohoku region, but it's hot in the Basin 😅 However, the mornings and evenings are cooler, much better than in the Tokyo metropolitan area!
I went to Yonezawa to visit Toko's sake brewery 🍶 It wasn't where they actually make sake, but I saw a Shinto altar and realized that sake is something that people pray for 😢.
On the way home, I got this Yamagata limited edition at the shop✨.
The aroma is light with lychee and muscat for my daughter and muscat and apple for my son 🤔It has a nice flavor and a refreshing throat ✨.
I've had Toko several times as a gift from my husband, and I've had a few of their drinks in a kiosk comparison, but this is delicious!
Next time my husband goes on a business trip to Yamagata, I will ask him for some as a souvenir 😊.
Good evening, Mamio. I like your trip to Yamagata. I'd like to visit there someday during the cherry season 🍒✨Summer is hotter than I expected 💦but it was a good trip to meet a fruity and refreshing drink 😊.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening ⭐Yamagata is a place that I don't often think about visiting 😅I like Saiichi Marutani and am interested in Tsuruoka! I like Saiichi Marutani and I'm interested in Tsuruoka, so I'd like to visit there during the cherry season 😊There are many good sake shops too 🥰.
Purchased at Takashimaya Department Store in Yokohama.
It has been a long time since I have had a bottle. It is from the same brewery as Toko in Yonezawa.
The bottle is transparent and very cool.
Fresh ginjo aroma. Pear-like fruity flavor.
Refreshingly light and sweet, with a firm body.
It is easy to drink like a summer sake, but it also has a strong alcoholic taste.
The alcohol content is 16%, which is quite good.
A college junior came from Tokyo. Even though it's a weekday, I drank until late at night 😭 6am, will I be able to wake up?
The sake was this one from Kojima Sohonten. The Hana no Keiji I had before had a strong impact on me, but the Yumi was very easy to drink even though it claims to be dry 😋.
Purchased from Iwai Kotobuki Shoten in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The mere fact that it is a sake from Yamagata Prefecture is enough to make me feel that it is delicious.
The aroma is subdued, and the sweetness and umami spread in the mouth. It is a rich, crisp, and delicious sake.
