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.

Since it's summer, I've been drinking lemon sours all the time😅. It's refreshing and easy on the wallet, but I still miss good sake💕. This is a Yonezawa souvenir✨ I read in an article about someone who went to Buntokuzan by my beloved Hiromitsu Nozaki that he drank this one, and I wanted to try it 😊. I had given up on it when I couldn't find it at the sake brewery I went to, but I found it at the Uesugi Shrine store 😳✨I had already bought a bottle before that, but I got this one too 🥰. It's a little yellowish. I didn't smell it that much but my husband and daughter said it was melon🍈. Really? 🤔. When I put it in my mouth, it smells like ripeness or temple? I'm sorry I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, but it is a moist and sibilant aroma. It also has a core flavor, and the aftertaste is astringent, crisp and clean ✨. Mmmm, this is delicious💕 Good as a food sake 🥰. Toko is delicious, both this and this are not distributed outside of the prefecture 😭 I want to drink it again~! Description of the sake Aromatic, harmonious, and sharp taste due to long low-temperature fermentation. This sake is specially authorized by the Uesugi clan of Yonezawa to use the trademark of the Uesugi clan's military flag "navy blue ground sun flag".

Good morning, Mamio! I'm tempted to go for a lemon sour when it's hot like this 🥵😅 but now it's time for sake 🍶 as we head towards autumn 🤗. I'm curious about the sake that I finally found 🧘 temple smells 🛎️ with a lot of feelings!

Jay & Nobby, good evening ⭐I know it's an uninformed review 😅I found it to be an unlikely taste! I think it's a bit close to Yuho 🤔 it's a food sake after all ✨I can't wait to enjoy the autumn flavors and sake🎶.

Junmai Daiginjo with 50% polished rice. Sourness is the main taste, with a touch of sweetness and bitterness. It has a soft aroma and mouthfeel. The most important thing is that it is easy to drink. It goes in with a swoosh and disappears with a snap. The pleasant aftertaste also disappears quickly. The fact that it is not forcibly refreshing is also favorable. It is the most dangerous sake in my history. Without hesitation, sake cups are emptied one after another. I paired it with light snacks, A quick sip, and then another sip. Another round of sake.

I didn't have time to go to the liquor store this week, so I tried a cup of local sake from the supermarket. Fruity, smooth and moderately tasty.

Toko's sake brewery museum limited edition, limited time only sake. (but I hear it's also online?) And this is delicious. Really good. It has just the right amount of sake, just the right amount of spiciness, and just the right amount of sweetness. There is a pleasant lingering aftertaste, but it is not too strong. This is truly the best-balanced sake. You can clearly feel the care that has gone into this sake, It is a "good sake". I will definitely buy it again before it runs out. Good sake enriches the soul.
