Last weekend was a hard schedule with a big on-site job that I spent the past month or so preparing for, and the next day my second daughter's 75th birthday party 🏃.
I even dressed my eldest daughter, who is just 5 years old, in a kimono and we visited a local shrine as a family ⛩️
Recently, she has started to tackle dressing by herself, and I realized that she is growing up well 🥰.
However, I felt a bit tired from the overloaded schedule, so let's have a refreshment.
Here's what I opened this time 🍶 Toyoko-Tennyo no Shizuku Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course
[Glass.]
Aromatic aroma, smooth flavor, and a soft mineral aftertaste with a slight bitterness.
[Mokkiri]
The aroma is like wet concrete, the mouthfeel is gentle and penetrating, and the taste is pleasantly sharp and lingers gently.
The gentle taste and lingering aftertaste are especially soothing after a long day of work or an event.
The name "Toyooka" comes from "Toyooka-no-Mikoto" who was worshipped because the sake brewed by a heavenly maiden who descended to earth was effective against all illnesses 🤔.
It was the perfect sake to heal my tired body✨.
Good morning, Jive!
Thank you for your work & family event🍀.
Your children look gorgeous in their kimonos😍!
I'm looking forward to seeing them grow up 🤗.
A nice, mild sake is a soothing and healing time for a tired body 😋.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Last weekend was a beautiful day for Shichi-Go-San with nice weather. ☺️ sisters in kimonos, wasn't Dad a delirious photo crew 📸? No? 🤣
We have two daughters at home too, so I missed the similarities ✨
Good evening Mr. Jive 🌝.
Oh my, she is adorable 🥰.
I guess seeing your daughter so beautifully dressed up for her Shichi-Go-San makes you feel like a dad 😍.
I'm a father of one myself, but it makes me happy too 😊.
Hi Gyve 😃
I see it's the "Ka" one! Since I bought "Ka" by mistake😅I was able to take Toyoga for the first time on my recent Nagano sake trip🚙🤗She's so cute with her 753 😍It feels like it happened a long time ago 😌.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I'm going to be slammed with work and family events full of weekends until the end of the school year😅.
My mom and sister (grandmother and aunt from my daughters' point of view) dressed me up adorably 🥰.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
The weather turned out to be a beautiful day for a visit 🥰.
My sister (my aunt from my daughters' point of view) who came with me took more pictures than I did 📸.
Good morning, Chirsta ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
You are so cute that it really doesn't hurt to put it in your eyes 🥰 (complete parental stupidity 🤣)
I see that you have a child at your place too, I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of each other.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I was also confused with "Toyoka" until I wrote my review😅.
I drank it before, didn't I? I think I drank it before 🤣. I feel like 🤣.
I have to keep good records like this 🥰.
Jive, congratulations on your daughter's 75th 🎉👘.
It made me smile with a smile to see your daughter grow up while you were busy 😊The drinks were a good choice as they seemed to have a soothing taste 😉.
This is Toyoga Aki-agari from Takazawa Shuzo.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, there is a slight acidity and a good umami flavor.
It has a nice acidity and a good umami flavor.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
The fourth picture is of the Takazawa Sake Brewery, about a 15 minute walk from Obuse Station on the Nagano Electric Railway Nagano Line.
Toyoga Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course.
The second sake from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai for October is Toyoga from a very small brewery brewed by a female toji, Kayoko Takazawa, in Obuse.
The first attack is a mellow, fruity sweetness that is like biting into a grape. The finish is clean and crisp with a beautiful acidity.
Compared to last year's wine, it has a much stronger flavor and is outstandingly delicious!

Rating 4.4-4.5
The rice produced is Miyamanishiki. The nose has hints of green apple and white peach. It also has strawberry and lychee aroma. Convergence is dry with a touch of acidity.

We had this bottle at Takazawa Sake Shop last month. The day after tomorrow, the day after the Joetsu Sake Festival, I will be in the Shinshu area, but it looks like they are closed on Sundays, so I regret that I will not be able to visit again. I missed buying some sake the last time I was there😅.
Well, the sake is delicious, with a light sweet acidity and a slight umami flavor 😋.
I would like to have a bottle of this sake at all times 🍶.
Tennyo no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo
A strike in the middle for a long time!
Moderate liveliness and gorgeousness, excellent balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami.
The sharpness is also good!
Really delicious!

After Obuse, we had Tempura Zaru Soba for lunch at Matsubaya Soba Restaurant in Suzaka. We then went in search of Toyoga's brother's liquor store.
After Yakitori Bancho, we were going to have a drink at the izakaya below the inn, but to our surprise it was closed😭.
We had no choice but to take out Toyoga from the cooler box 🧰 in the car and drink it in the room with my senpai. Tennyo no shizuku, it was delicious!
Hello @Mizuhashi 😃
Mr. Takazawa Sake Shop ❗️ I went to Masamune Hunt the other day myself. A nice man who seemed to be a good person served me. From the sign on the storefront, it seems like things are getting more difficult, but I hope they can keep it going as long as possible 🥺.
Hi Hiro, Good evening 🌇.
Somehow I felt it too.
I wonder if you have been ill.
I wanted to buy all the bottles of Daishinshu that were on sale, but I had to give up because they were raw sake. I will definitely revisit 🫡.
Toyoga Black Label Miyamanishiki 49% Junmai Daiginjo
Rating 4.4
Alcohol: 15°, Sake: ±0, Acidity: 1.6, Nagano D yeast, Bottle warmed, Nama-zume 2024 [out of warehouse in September 2025].
It has an elegant aroma reminiscent of wasanbon. The acidity is also effective and coordinates the sweetness. Convergence feels a bit heavy. I think it is because it is a hiyaoroshi spec. It may be easy to match with relatively heavy dishes such as meat and saury.
This is a drink comparison from a souvenir store that my friend and I stopped by on our pilgrimage to Conan's sacred sites.
Slightly sweet and easy to drink!
