From the slightly sweet aroma, the sourness and sweetness of the rice spreads gorgeously throughout the mouth.
The sweetness continues for a long time, and the aftertaste is pleasantly deep with umami and a crisp ginjo flavor.
You can enjoy it without any snacks, but if you include cream cheese, you can enjoy the harmony of this bottle.

This year our Nanko Ume🔴 tree bore a lot of fruit thanks to our usual aphid control measures 🤲´- Today we finished pickling ume work‼️We opened this bottle tonight because we did a great job preparing the ume.
Today's snacks are okonomiyaki and bonito tataki🐟.
Toyobai is a special sake in our house‼️
The aroma is a deep, dark ginjo aroma💜It's been a while since I've had such a strong aroma, and the initial attack is sweet and spicy with a touch of astringency, but they mix early on and are really good 😋Nice match for the bonito tataki👍And then the boiled white shrimp came in the pot and we roasted them on a delicious teppan while drinking‼️ What a ‼️ delicious 😋!
This is a gift from the Miura Sake Brewery in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture. It is a limited edition sake that is sold only at the sake brewery's direct sales outlets.
It was produced in October 2024, so it has been laid down for about half a year.
Toyobai is the first time🍶.
The first Toyobai is a limited edition only at the brewery...it's a luxurious taste.
The rice used is "unknown".
Polishing ratio is 49%.
Alcohol level is 15-16 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is discreet, with a faint, light sweet smell.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a clear, slightly thickened texture.
The sweetness has a coherent sweetness that spreads in a soft mouthfeel, and the umami has a simple but coarse impression, with 70% sweetness and 30% umami. The sweet aroma that accompanies swallowing is sweet, with a slight hint of sourness and astringency that tightens the overall flavor. The sweet flavor lingers until the end.
The taste is crisp and clean, while thickening on the tongue.
Personally, it is a delicious 🍶 that can be savored on its own 😊.

This sake was bought from a sake shop in Aomori that always comes to the Antenna Shop to hold events, and was the same shop that helped us at the second Rainbow event. This time, we regretted the closure of the antenna shop, and drank some of the sake. Let's go!
Aomori's local sake tends to have a mild aroma, and this is one of them. It has the aroma of fluffy cooked rice. The mouthfeel is as soft and sweet as ever, but because it is a nama-zake, it also has the pleasant crispness that only a freshly brewed sake can have. The supernatant clearness alone is dry and sharp, but when the silky soft turbidity is added, the umami, richness and slight sweetness typical of Kame-no-o help to make it easy to drink.
We are grateful to the sake shop owner who came all the way from Owani to serve us tonight!
P.S.
Personally, I have yet to find nigori sake good, so if you have any recommendations for nigori sake, please let me know.
Good morning, Uppion ☀Aside from the three major muddy ones, my personal recommendations are Shichida's green label nigori, Hanaizumi's active nigori, and Urasato's light nigori 2nd!
Hi Uppion 😃
The Toyobai in combination with the name is a sight to behold 😳
I can feel your love for Toyobai ❤️ from your review 🥰.
I recommend the nigori from Hirotogawa, Hakuba no knight from Tate no Kawa, and Sairai no usugiri ❗️
Good evening, Uppion!
It's a bit expensive in Aomori, but I recommend Hato Masamune's White Pigeon 🕊️ and Hachisen's Summer Doburokku.
I personally love Chochin's Usu Nikkori, which is full of flavor.
Good evening, Hiro-san!
The name may sound tough, but we have a wide range of products from modern sweet and savory to classic, so please give us a try next time you are in the area!
Drinkable size of 300 ml.
It's a pity that I can't taste any change in flavor, but the crispness, moderate sweetness, and a little bit of spiciness that lingers at the back of the tongue emphasize the deliciousness of the drink.
It is a great level of a category that I never get tired of drinking👍.
Toyobai never disappoints 😋.
