I like Toyobai too much. I like it so much that I buy and drink two bottles a year. Now, let's see how it is!
Wow! I love green apples! How many people have been charmed by this fresh and sweet aroma! I really like the complexity of the sweet and sour apple flavor from the sweet brewing water, the freshness and bitterness of the freshness and astringency of the unpasteurized sake! A little tingling and sharpness is very pleasant! Take your time including it in your mouth? I hope you will try it as it should convey Toyobai's delicate taste and sweetness! You live in Tokyo, go to Koujiya Sake Shop in Jimbocho, Komae/Sengawa, Kagoya in Shimotakaido, or Sake Sho Yamada in Shinjuku. I hope you all fall into the Toyobai swamp. Thank you for the food and drink tonight!
P.S.
I was skeptical, but I heated it up. I was surprised at how much more concentrated and pure the sweetness of the apples and the umami of the rice became. Now that I've learned how to warm it up, I may have to do it a little more often in the future. 11/3
Good morning Uppion ☀I drank this year's one too. This direct pumping is very special among Toyobai... I forgot to take a picture of it 😭I think you are right about the taste comment 🌟👏.
Kosuke! After all, no matter how much sake you drink, you can't forget the devilish deliciousness of nama sake made from directly pumped sake! I am grateful to the Miura Sake Brewery for releasing nama sake every year as a matter of course!
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 😢.
