Traveled to Aomori Prefecture ✈️
Unfortunately, the weather was unfavorable, but we had a good time!
We started our shopping at Jizakean Sato in Aomori city.
I was disappointed that they didn't have Tasake, but I got Toyobai! I've been longing to visit this brewery!
Aromas of sweet and sour citrus and lychee. It has a very fruity aroma.
When I put it in my mouth, wow!
There is no gassy feeling, but the aroma and sweet-sourness that spreads quickly in the mouth will become addictive.
The texture on the tongue is smooth and clean. The finish is also excellent.
The end result is an aroma that lingers slightly on the nose.
The taste and aroma make it hard to believe that it is made only from rice and koji!
Toyobai, I should have bought another bottle 😢.
Natural yellowtail looked so good I had to buy some 😄I have to drink this 😅.
Let's start with the standing aroma. The moment I smelled it, it was sweet and gorgeous, as if a flower had opened.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a fresh and fruity aroma with a pleasant acidity and a refreshing taste. Delicious. ❗️😋
I had it with yellowtail sashimi and Tororo konbu jime.
Both are tasty, but the yam kelp flavor brings out the best balance of this sake, as the flavor of the kelp suppresses the unique aroma of the blue fish👍.

Toyobai's hiyaoroshi, Gekkushu.

Aged, mellow flavor, pleasant sharpness✨.
It was a superb cup 🙌!

For a sake with your account name, haven't you been drinking Toyobai at all?
I've been wondering why I haven't been drinking Toyobai at all despite your account name.
Well, this year, too, we have a new sake that is full of the elements that I love, such as directly pumped, unfiltered, raw sake! What do you think of this year's new sake? Let's go!
The sweet and sour apple aroma as usual, as well as the freshness and lushness, this year is a lot more refreshing!
Clear brewing water that sloshes in that feels sweeter than usual, and of course the sweet and sour taste of apples and Japanese pears comes in with a bang, and it's delicious. However, after drinking this after having experienced many things, I think that the key to this is the complex bitterness that accompanies the sweet and sour, the freshness that can only be achieved by direct pumping, and the slight hint of rose-like aroma, all of which harmonize to make Toyobai too delicious. I will probably buy another bottle of this year's delicious and beloved Toyobai Naokumi. Gentlemen, the nokkumi that you can normally buy at liquor stores is surprisingly valuable! What are you doing! Please buy it. We would like to express our gratitude to the Miura Sake Brewery for brewing nao kumi-nama sake again this year, and we thank you for your hospitality tonight, too!
Good morning, Uppion. Great turnout👍I found this 💡 yesterday at a liquor store in Osaka station, but I didn't go through with it. I wish I had seen this article first 😅Next time I see it, I'd like to take you there!
Forgot to take a picture! It's the one with the dark green label.
Young peach, a little green.
The rice flavor is clear from the refreshing acidity in the bottle.
Sweet acidity with a little fruity.
Soft aftertaste like cotton candy.
Stable, sweet, and refreshing, this is the kind of wine you can drink without hesitation.
Taste level ☆3.5/5
Opened to compare with Kameizumi
The snacks were potato butter and
salted squid
The smell is extremely fruity.
Is it similar to "Takachiyo" or "Kangiku"?
When you put it in your mouth
It is very easy to drink and well-balanced.
When you taste it thoroughly, you can feel the slight bitterness of alcohol.
Not too sweet, but well balanced.
And there is no feeling of lingering in the back of the throat.
It is a sake that can be drunk mildly and deliciously.
If I had to pick a favorite, I would say Kameizumi.
If I see it again, I will bring it to you again!
