No longer a taco high
Very light and easy to drink, but there is no sake-like sensation until the fizz subsides.
If you taste it properly, you can taste the sweetness of rice on the back end...
Light, even with the ori...
A little too light, but too strongly carbonated to go with a meal, not the right direction...
Still, the fact that it's 9% is horrible.

Moved to Sendai from Kyoto💦.
Tonight I'll be with my local colleagues 😁.
I guess we'll start with the summer sake 🤔.
It's a sweet and tasty sake like "Toyobai" 🤔.
Fairly moderate sweetness. Mild for a sake.
The rice flavor is quite strong, but the sake has been polished considerably and is easy to drink with little harshness.
Delicious.
A high school girl sitting next to me on the train leans on me intensely & fiercely in a "I didn't sleep a wink last night" kind of way, and I'm thinking about yesterday's drink, thinking that I shouldn't do to a complete stranger what I wouldn't do to my father at home.

The Miura Sake Brewery, located in Hirosaki City, is famous for its representative brand, Toyobai. It is famous for its trademarked Toyobai rice, and this is the only brewery that uses it. The Miura brothers are the chief brewers.
The person who helped me was from the Toyobai brewery, and he told me about Toyobai rice.
◉Toyobai Junmai Ginjo
The balance of sweetness and umami in this sake is very nice and refreshing.
◉Toyobai Special Junmai
The first sake I had was a very clear but well balanced Junmai Junmai. The balance between sweetness and umami is very well balanced.
Not all Toyobai sake is made exclusively from Toyobai rice, but other rice is used as well. Toyobai rice is a relatively easy variety to grow, but since there is no producer and they grow it themselves, they can't make all of their sake with Toyobai rice.
He said that the recent rice riots have reduced the number of sake rice growers, so next year's harvest and prices will be tough, so the price of sake will probably go up as well.
Hi Nemuchi, ☀️
The rice situation these days is quite difficult 🥲I saw on the news that they are planning to use the stockpiled rice for processing sake and other products... but I thought that would be difficult since each brewery is probably very particular about the sake rice they use 😖.
Kotaro-san, good evening 🌇It seems that due to the rice riot in Ordawa, more farmers are going to make rice than sake rice 😓It's a tough situation for both farmers and breweries and sake prices will go up 😱I would love to try some old, old rice sake, just to see what it's like 😅.
Sake made with Toyobai rice, which is highly suited for sake brewing.
A slightly light-flavored sake with a gorgeous aroma and delicious rice flavor!
Slightly sweet and easy to drink, it is the perfect sake for a mealtime drink.
Like the "Houhai Junmai Daiginjo" uploaded earlier, this was a gift from the end of last year. It is brewed by Miura Shuzo in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture.
The rice used is domestic rice, specially cultivated Yamadanishiki produced in Nishiwaki, Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 39%.
Sake degree is +1
Alcohol level is 15
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is mild and sweet like muscat.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a clear, slightly thickened texture.
The first sip is smooth, and the fresh, full flavor spreads quickly. The sweetness is subtle and less pronounced than that of Toyobai's limited edition. The umami is stronger than the sweetness. Later, the acidity spreads in the mouth and a slight astringency is felt.
The sweet aroma that accompanies swallowing rises to the surface. The lingering sweet umami lingers heavily on the palate, thickening on the tongue while remaining crisp and clean.
Personally, I have the impression that Toyobai is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own.
Thanks again, Takel Papa😃Congratulations on your 100 check-ins🎊Congratulations on your delicious looking Toyokai Junmai Daiginjo, it's good to be a Kiri number 😋.
Masaki Sapporo, thank you so much for the comment that got me the number 😊I had forgotten about it until I saw your comment. I've been thinking that it's time for me to try some of Hokkaido's 🍶.
Hi, Takel Papa 😃.
Congratulations on your 100 check-in ㊗️ 🎉
Toyobai is delicious 😋, I think it looks like it would go well with warmed sake 🤗.
We'd love to see you at the next Kenmin-kai 👋
Thank you, Jay & Nobby, for your Kiri Komei 😭
We've finally reached 100 check-ins 😄Aiming for 200 check-ins nationwide...
I've uploaded the Toyobai...as you pointed out, it has a thick flavor, so it looks like it would be good to warm sake.
