Toyooka is the name of a sake brewery, Takazawa Shuzo. It has the same sound and name as Toshimaya's Hoka, and they are from the same prefecture, Nagano, but they are different.
Shimosuwa Onsen bulk purchase (4)
A slightly expensive bottle of my favorite Toyoka (when I say expensive, it's about 2,400 yen for a 4-goupe bottle, so it's not really expensive, but really a little expensive 😆)
The balance that is typical of Toyoka is more elegant. I tried pairing it with various tsumami at home, but fresh sea urchin didn't go with it, nor did cheese or olive oil Western-style side dishes, so what I ended up with was a side dish carefully cooked in dashi broth. Just fresh boiled vegetables with "walnut miso" bought in Shimosuwa fit the bill. It is a beautiful sake that is typical of Japanese sake that makes the most of quiet Japanese side dishes.
It is exquisite on the day of opening the bottle, and after a few days, a slightly sweet taste comes out in the front.
Ahh it was delicious ❗️ Thanks for the treat 😋.
Last batter is of course summer sake!
This one is also labeled as dry, but I think it's the most medium one today⁉
I like this kind of taste 🤗.
I finished well with this one: 👍️
I sipped something unnecessary again on the way back home😅.
The shinasoba from Chibakiya ❗🍜.
This will help to store nutrients around my stomach and get rid of the summer fatigue ✌🤣.
I like this one a lot!
A juicy sake with a firm sweetness.
The umami in the middle is also brought out well, leaving a tropical fruitiness and a long aftertaste!
I like mellow sweet sake.
Great value for money too...
5.00
The information was unusually close to the full specs, but this is not what I would call "dry". It is moderately sweet and tasty, with a bit of roughness and bitterness, and has a nice sharpness that I like.
Alc 16%, Sake Degree +1.5, Acidity 1.2, Amino Acid 1.0, Miyamanishiki, Polishing ratio 59%, Bottle fired, Yeast unknown
It was slightly carbonated, rich flavor that made you think it was sweet, and the feeling of it disappearing after the aroma made me feel like I was in the middle of summer.
Takane-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Unfiltered unpasteurized sake
The aroma is not that strong, but the moment it enters the mouth, it has a fresh aroma.
Slightly sour and sour taste.
Mild fruit aroma with a hint of sharpness as it passes down the throat.
The aftertaste does not leave that much of a residue on the palate.
Easy to drink
Asparagus tempura with green tea salt
The oiliness of the tempura is gone and the drink is crisp and refreshing.
