Toko純米吟醸原酒

It has a strong aroma and feels almost like a fragrant sake. I have tasted Kojima Sohonten's sake in the past with Toko Ginjo Umeshu, which won the Umeshu competition, and I could feel the same aroma in this sake as I did then. I was shocked to find that the fruity aroma I felt in the back of my nose was not from the plum wine, but from the sake. The aroma is not masked by the ume fragrance, but has a strong presence and is not too strong. I would like to drink it in a glass that allows me to enjoy its aroma, like a wine glass.

Toko's Junmai Ginjyo Genshu. This is the first time I have had it in an aluminum can. It has a rich flavor and moderate acidity, and I feel that the richness is conveyed more directly than in the bottle I drank last time. Somehow. When I hear the name Toko, I think of sake from Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture. I have been to Yonezawa for about half a month for a driver's license training camp when I was a student, and I have visited Yonezawa twice for other trips. The interesting atmosphere of the "castle town of Uesugi" is wonderful.

I bought this bottle at the direct store of the brewery at the Sake Brewery Museum Toko no Sake Brewery, which I stopped by during my trip to Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, in September. I had previously visited the brewery's exhibition, so this time I only visited the direct sales store. I took my time in making my selection. The rice used is 100% Yamagata rice. Rice polishing ratio is 55 Alcohol level is 15 Sake meter is -3, which is slightly sweet.  When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gentle and subdued, with a ginjo aroma of melon and pear that is more subdued than fruity. The aroma is mainly rounded and rice-derived due to aging, and the sweet and savory mature aroma derived from freshly cooked rice and koji is easy to detect.  When poured into a sake cup, it is clear with no lees and has a pale golden color. The viscosity is medium and when the glass is tilted, a light legginess remains.  When you take a sip, it is mild with a slight sweetness, like melon or white peach. In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity, and the fullness of the firm rice flavor and the thickness of the aging-derived umami. The sweetness and umami disappear quickly and smoothly at the same time, and the light astringency and bitterness provide a pleasant aftertaste that is not too long. It is umami-driven, mildly acidic, and mildly mellow, with a flavor that is soft and cohesive on the tongue and slowly fades away. The aftertaste is short, so it is good as a food sake 🤗.

★★★★☆ Loved the sense of the brand name and bought it They say left-handers are drinkers. As a drinker, I can't stop drinking. The sake was rated as rich, but it was refreshing and did not interfere with the meal, and it was delicious without any unpleasant taste! Is it unique to Dewa Sanzan? I think it's unique to Dewa Sanzan!
