Sake Trip, purchased in Hirosaki 🍶.
(These are my impressions from my stupid tongue...)
It's a bit sweet and fruity with a spicy aftertaste that goes down the throat nicely 😳.
It's delicious! I had the impression that it was 🍶.
As the day went on, it became more mellow and fruity, another delicious sake 😋.
Have fun with various heated drinks.
Enjoy the changes in aroma and taste as you warm up the sake
30°C: "Hyuhan-kan" (warmed in the sun), with a pleasant aroma and a smooth taste.
35°C: "Jinhada" (warmed to human skin) - enjoy the aroma and a smooth taste.
40°C: "Nuru-kan" (lukewarm): Aromatic and full-bodied
45°C: "Top warming": aroma, taste and flavor soften and tighten.
50°C: "Atsu-kan" (hot), dry with a sharp taste
55°C: "very hot": dry with a strong aroma

The first Toyobai!
There are only two sake stores in Hokkaido where you can buy Toyobai, so this is the long-awaited Toyobai.
I asked the store owner what he would like to drink first. I asked the shop owner what he would drink first, and he said "Tokujun! So I did!
Not much of an aroma.
In the mouth, it is slightly fruity and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
Easy to drink, maybe too much!
Icchauzobacayaro!
Gorgeous drinks continue 💖.
Banquet with a couple of drinking friends, the second ‼️
And thank you chika for the series, Toyobai Rainbow 🏳️🌈✨
What a delicious taste 🤩We were all impressed again 🥹Light acidity, subtle sweetness, and a smooth and gentle taste that is hard to believe it's 15% 🥰.
We welcomed Toyobai-sama with garlic toast, our special fried chicken, and salad 💖.
We all looked at the sake label book we collected this year and drank while reminiscing about the feast so far and talking about the delicious memories and the saga of the difficulties we faced in getting our hands on the sake✨.
And there's a third one 🥰!
Thank you chika for your ❣️豊盃thank you 🙏🥰.
I really got my own sake seal book 😆 The labels brought back a lot of memories for me 🙌 I will put them up again next year 💪.
Yesterday, after drinking Toyobai, I was curious about another Toyobai. So I decided to have the Junmai Ginjo. The aroma was coming out of the sake cup. Today's sake is also a Toyo Sakai rice. It is crisp with good acidity and umami, and has a pleasant lingering aftertaste. It was a little less floral than the Rainbow, but it was very robust. It went perfectly with miso soup with sea bream. Toyobai rice is the blood of Gohyakumangoku rice. It was a precious rice used only at this brewery.
Rice polishing ratio: 39
Yeast used: In-house yeast
Alcohol percentage: 15-16
Sake meter: -1 to +2
Acidity: 1.3-1.4
Rice used: Toyobai rice
You may say, "You haven't had Toyobai for a while. Good evening, Uppion. Tonight, as the end of the year comes to a close and the 300th check-in, I have brought a sake that is appropriate for the occasion! This year, orange back! I bring you Toyobai Rainbow!
It has a sweet apple aroma and a gorgeous rose-like fragrance, but the aroma is not too strong and is a good balance. I like the feeling of not relying on the aroma. When the slightly sweet, soft, smooth brewing water is included, a slightly tart, apple-like fruity sweetness clings to it. The juicy flavor and the saltiness of the bitterness are also really wonderful. The mouth is in a festive state with just a hint of chili! And the slight sharpness is wonderful. How about my favorite Junmai Daiginjo, how about you? I will continue to drink and review sake in the future, so please stay tuned!
Thanks again for the food tonight!
Good morning, Uppion 😃I found Rainbow 🌈 yesterday at the liquor store but it was too expensive and I was put off. It's still a delicious review 😁I got Junmai Shiboritate instead after worrying about direct pumping: ☺️
Hello, Uppion!
Congratulations on your 300th check-in 🎉!
My #1 favorite Junmai Daiginjo & Toyobai for the milestone sake - it's the best 😍.
Your review looks great too 🤤.
Let's continue to enjoy the sake activities with both Toyobai and non-Toyobai sake 😋.
Hi there, studying!
You can't go wrong with any of Toyobai's draft sake, so please pick up a variety and have a look! Personally, I prefer the direct pumped sake!
First Toyobai and Rainbow Namaeshu Naturally, this is the first time for Toyobai rice to be used. It has a full-bodied flavor and a hint of fragrance, and is soft and smooth on the palate. We are having it with aji (horse mackerel) and cheap natural sea bream sashimi. I have a feeling I will become addicted to it. It goes down a treat. We are very grateful to Ms. Chika for selecting this wine for us.
