The rising aroma and mouthfeel is like pineapple. It is slightly sweet and has a strong umami taste. When cold, the bitterness and astringency come on strong and then become sharp. As the temperature rises, the bitterness and astringency become milder.
It has a soft taste with a firm sweet and umami flavor, but it is much lighter than other Toyobai jungin.
The umami taste lingers in the aftertaste, but it disappears gently and is not heavy at all.
The overall quality of the sake is quite beautiful, as is typical of the Shizukutori variety.
The aroma is peachy.
There is no label on the bottle, but some people on social networking sites say it is a pure sake, but I wonder if that is true.
There is a very slight sense of effervescence.

I want to drink Nakano's Bikini Musume next season!
Toyobai's autumn sake. The aroma is apple-like, with a hint of autumnal flavor. It has a well-crafted, deep flavor, just like an autumn sake. I knew that autumn sake is delicious. It has a deep flavor, and each sake has its own character. The combination of this strong, guttural flavor and the apple flavor typical of Toyobai made me very happy. The first autumn sake of the year was, without a doubt, Toyobai.
Still, I sincerely hope that the climate will catch up with the sake. It is probably still too hot. I want to enjoy autumnal delicacies and autumnal sake in a slightly chilly climate.

The first sake I bought from a mail-order store after getting into sake was Toyobai's Tsukiaki, and I can still vividly remember how good it tasted. I can still vividly remember how good it tasted!
The sweet and sour aroma of apples, typical of Toyobai, wafts gently through the air. When the smooth brewing water, which is slightly sweet as usual and you don't even notice it is flowing, is added, the sweet and sour apple aroma and taste overwhelm your taste buds. However, it is never overpowering, and instead, a bit of astringency and bitterness skillfully restrains the vigor of the sake, allowing it to settle in with the restrained sake. The sharpness of the sake cleanses the palate. There are not many sake that are so moderate and calm. I continue to love Toyobai for creating such sake. If my last day on earth approaches, I will drink Toyobai and wait for that time.
I thank Toyobai for the sake, and thank you again for the food tonight!
The aroma does not stand up.
When you drink it, it has a middle rice flavor with a slightly fruity feeling.
Bitter and spicy at the same time.
It is well-balanced and delicious.
But for a sake with the image of a "cosy" sake, it is not so cosy and has no surprises.
It is not so surprising and is a bit of a letdown for a sake with an image of a cosy sake.
Preference ☆3/5
I tasted it at my favorite liquor store in the spring and enjoyed it so much that I bought it.
It was a Junmai Daiginjo, so I was waiting for the right time to open the bottle while drinking other sakes, and I opened the bottle at the time of the Bon Festival.
It was very tasty with a rich aroma, a hint of sweetness, and a refreshing taste.
