Haga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Tonoike Sake Brewery Co.
Mochi bo: Special Junmai Toji's Whimsical Recipe: Banana and American Cherry.
Love Tochigi💕🤗💕
Yes, it is Nozomu.
It seems to be a sake that the toji takes on a challenge every year.
So is it a one time sake?
The liquor store I'm familiar with only had 1 bottle of it, but I happened to find a 4-goupe bottle at another liquor store and bought it.
I had it cold.
There was no gas sound when the bottle was opened.
The nose says green banana and American cherry on the back label, but it doesn't smell like much.
The color is clear, with a very faint yellowish tinge.
The mouthfeel is a little bit tannic and a little bit hard minerality.
The taste is slightly sweet and acidic, and the acidity spreads after swallowing. The acidity is followed by a slightly astringent taste that lingers for a long time.
There is a bit of sweet and sour taste like American cherry 🤔I can't really tell the green banana and American cherry feeling...
It was a different type from what I always imagined when I drank it.
Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice Koji(domestic)
Rice used: 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Tochigi Prefecture

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛The usual hope is unquestionably delicious, so it doesn't matter how much you play with the others 😁Many breweries make fruit-fronted wines because it's easy to understand and easy to pick up 😊.
It tastes sweet and cute like a liqueur💕It's not just bananas and cherries❗️I can also taste flavors reminiscent of yellow peaches and mangoes😚The sweetness is accented by sourness. kyun❤️
Aroma: Slightly ricey? A fishy smell? A little raw? Is it a storage problem at the distributor? It seems that the warehouse ships in May, so it may be a storage problem, unfortunately.
It is delicious with a good flavor and slight carbonation, so it might be better with snacks to cover up the aroma.

Cuisine MIKE in Shinbashi
It is a small restaurant with a counter seating 5-6 people, so I made a reservation.
Here you can enjoy seasonal fruits and unusual pickled sake.
No matter which dish you order, you will not be disappointed!
They also have a small selection of sake.
I attended a class reunion during Golden Week this year!
Before that, I stopped by a sake brewery, Tonoike Sake Brewery.
We found their sake!

Otani's performance is amazing every single day 😇
I came home from work today and had a good time drinking while watching Otani's activities 😇.
By the way, I'll be working during this 3 consecutive weekends to attend the facility renovation 😅.
Next Saturday, I have to work as a tour guide for a big guy who is coming to visit the facility...12 consecutive days of work 😅.

While I was complaining about this, I had a cup of Nozomu's challenge sake today 😀 Delicious....
Delicious...as expected from Nozomu-san 😀.
At first there were only nuances of American cherries, but then bananas came at the end 😀.
It's not just a sweet fruity sensation, the fruit is present in a very robust sake flavor 😀.
Still
I have a week of work ahead of me, but I'm sure I'll be able to do my best with a good drink 😇.
Good evening, Yasube.
Thank you so much for working 12 straight days🍀.
Make sure you take a breather too 💧.
And here is Nozomu's! I am just amazed ⁉️ how you can get such a drink.
Good morning, Yasube 😃.
I like the fact that it's not a liqueur, but a special pure sake 🤗It's a tough job, but I'm sure you're doing a great job 💦working hard and drinking hard! I'm sure you'll have a great time with Otani's success!
Good morning, Yasbay🐥.
I know it's tough, even if it can't be helped 💦 Let the booze heal you😊.
As J&N said, it's not a liqueur 😳I'm also a CWS lover, so I'm interested 😁.
Hi, ma-ki-chan 😀
Thanks to the information provided by the members of the Kansai branch of SAKEWA, I have been able to find almost all the new sake stores, including this Hata Sake Shop😇.
Thanks to them, it's easier to get pre-sake and unusual sake 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
The store owner recommended it to me as an interesting sake and I bought it 😀.
It was a very pure and robust sake with fruits living in it 😇.
It's Tochigi love from Osaka: ❤️
Hi Pon 😀
Not as full of fruit as the liqueur, but it gave me a solid fruitiness in the sake😇.
Kaorin said she wanted this sake to be added to the regular menu, not on a whim 😀.
Yasbay, here we go too â
You've been working 12 days in a row 😳...💦.
As J&N said, please get over it by drinking good sake with Otani's success as a snack: 💪🏻
🍌&🍒 sake, I wonder if Dora will buy some on a whim 😄.
Good evening, Tsubu 😀
I have a feeling Dora would have bought this drink on sensor... 🤣.
I don't know if she will do the same whim next year 😅.
Kaorin said she wants to drink it every year 😀.
