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.

It was delicious, slightly sweet and refreshing! My favorite😍! This brewery was founded in the Azuchi-Momoyama period! It is said that the brewery was a purveyor to the Uesugi family. I enjoyed the sake with a sense of history!

Beautiful rummy and green apple aroma🍏. When you put it in your mouth, the aroma floods your mouth at once, and the beautiful sweetness spreads out and flows with a little acidity, leaving a good sweetness in your mouth. ☺️☺️ delicious 😋✨ The brewery was founded in the Azuchi-Momoyama period 💦That's too good to be true!

Purchased at the sake corner of Inageya. When I saw the label, I thought it looked vaguely familiar...I had drunk it three years ago..! A very refreshing and easy-to-drink mid-palate sake. Cold sake is good, but room temperature is also good. It was a luxurious drinking time on a weekday 🍶.
