うや
I went shopping at Aeon today and found this Toko on the shelf near the expiration date in the sake section. I've never had a sake from Yamagata before so I bought this one. It's a dry and robust sake ☺️. I like the taste. I thought I've never had a sake from Yamagata prefecture but I did. I had a hard time deciding between it and Nanbu Bijin but it didn't matter.

This sake was established in the Azuchi-Momoyama period and is made by Kojima Sohonten in Yonezawa. It has a melon-like fruity taste. It has a refreshing and delicious taste.

August 13, 2023 Dinner at home. In the latter half of the 9-day weekend, the family enjoys a gift from my sister. The first thing we did was to drink Toko sake as an aperitif. First, we opened a bottle of Toko's Ginjo Umeshu as an aperitif. The first thing I did was to open a bottle of Toko's Ginjo-Umeshu as an aperitif. It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma that spreads in the mouth. The aroma of ginjo spreads in the mouth. The ginjo aroma is quite strong and reminds us of Torikai, a rice shochu. It has a very strong ginjo aroma and a mouthfeel reminiscent of Torikai, a rice shochu (perhaps because it is based on Kastori shochu?). (Is it because it is based on a sake lees shochu?). It is very rich, so it can be drunk on the rocks or on the rocks. It has a very rich flavor, so it tastes very It has a strong flavor when drunk on the rocks. It is very easy to drink with soda. it is very easy to drink with soda. It is too much to drink I drank it on the rocks and drank it in small sips. but it was so good that I drank it all in one night. I finished it in one night because it was so delicious.

The Uesugi Family Imperial Sake Brewery is awesome! ⭐️ Rice polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 15%. Newly squeezed sake, carbon dioxide gas since fermentation. The smell of koji is fresh and slightly carbonated💕. Not too sweet, fruity and very easy to drink. It's a new sake that feels good and is very gentle. I can taste it in my mouth and savor it while savoring it 😋I'm careful not to drink too much, but it's good 😋Thank you ❣️ This one goes down a treat even the day after a night of drinking 🙇.

It starts with a fruity aroma A little sweetness and crisp spiciness I used to dislike spicy wine because it smells like alcohol, but the sweetness lingers until the last aftertaste, so it is easy to drink as a whole and even a man who does not like spicy wine can enjoy it. I tried it with Tuna & Cheese. It's not bad, but it's not the same.

Toko is the castle town of Yonezawa and Uesugi, Uesugi family's official sake brewery. I got it in August, but since it was a hiyaoroshi, I kept it at room temperature to enjoy it later in September, and today I decided to drink it. Mellow and delicious rice flavor. I had it as it was stored at room temperature, but I think it was probably the right choice to keep it at room temperature. It would be interesting to warm it up, but I have a feeling that it would be surprisingly sharp and dry rather than puffy.

Really dry! I had an image of Junmai Ginjo having sweetness. but the sweetness of the rice appears in the aftertaste. It's a non-habitual sweetness.
