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.

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.

Sake from Yamagata, received as a gift at the Christmas party of the local residents' association, Yonezawa Kojima Sohonten, founded in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, Toko Junmai. Refreshing aroma, Light and smooth. from a firm acidity. It has a full flavor and a slight astringency from the firm acidity, and a little bitterness before disappearing, Delicious. It is a good sake to be warmed up. The world's first carbon-neutral sake brewery that brews with sake lees! What? How is that possible? It seems that sakekasu is used as one of the raw materials for power generation at the Nagameyama Biogas Power Plant. But the brewery's electricity is entirely supplied by the said power plant. Amazing! === Ingredients Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice: Yamagata rice Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15 Sake degree: +4.0 Acidity: 1.4 1,298 yen for 720ml ★★★★☆☆☆

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 🙇.
