Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had a cold and was very sick for the past week, so I had to stop drinking. If I were to drink for the first time in a while, I would choose Toyobai. So, here we go!
The rice polishing ratio is exactly the same as that of Toyobai's regular special junmai, and I wonder if all the brands have the calmness of special junmai as their theme.
The aroma is gorgeous, like pears and apples. The aroma is sweeter than the usual special junmai. The smooth and sweet brewing water, which is typical of Toyobai, brings a slight sweetness and astringency like red wine, and this lingering taste becomes a classic with its sharpness. It is best to drink it smoothly during a meal, or if it is spring, with wild vegetables. This special junmai was a little more modern than usual.
Due to the stock, we will not be able to introduce other Toyo Sakai until a little later, but please wait with warm eyes.
Thank you very much for your kind attention!
This sake reminds me that summer is approaching 🍶.
It has a strong acidity and maintains a robust flavor.
It is a sake that should be chilled to the perfect temperature.
Accompanied by sea grapes
A seasonal product of Toyobai. It was fermented while playing the song "Tsugaru no Urara" by Shinya Tama from Aomori. It was a dry sake with a spring-like appearance.
A Daiginjo limited to the brewery.
The mouthfeel is the usual dry Toyobai, but it has a thick sweet taste that even seems to thicken in the middle. Very delicious!

The term "Aomori Quattro Esperanza" means "Aomori's Four Breweries of Hope.
Such a team AQE gathers in Tokyo from Aomori!
On April 26, 2025, an event was held at the AOYAMA Grand Hall where you could talk with the four breweries.
This time, a special AQE-labeled model was introduced to commemorate the event!
The contents of the sake, which you may be interested in, is a special junmai spec, but one that is a get-together from each of the breweries.
Therefore, unlike last year, you can buy a bottle of your favorite brewer's sake, or you can compare the four brewers' sakes.
