It is described as mellow and dry, but it is indeed mellow and yet has a great sharpness. It is an interesting combination of two extremes.
Honestly speaking, I wasn't sure what to pair it with because of its sharpness, but I think it would taste even better if it were loosely warmed up.
This is a type of sake that I have not encountered in a long time. It has a robust yet crisp and clear dry taste. The kiriboshi-daikon, shirataki, sweet potato pattern, and dried shiitake mushrooms are very tasty, and the two flavors seem to be at odds, so I might try drinking it lukewarm next time. ★★★☆
Very fruity and gorgeous with a clean aftertaste!
Slightly carbonated
Umaiyumai!

It's very cold today, so I had it heated. I had it chilled before heating it up, and it was very refreshing yet full of flavor, and very tasty even when chilled. It is easy to drink heated, with no alcohol taste that makes you swallowed. It is delicious. Price: 1,200 yen without tax. Cospa😅.
One day standing drinking.
It has been a long time since Chuin has been here.
On this day, we drank three sakes.
We started with "Tomonori" by Yoshida Shuzo, which brews Gassan.
Tomonori is a sake named after the brewer of Yoshida Shuzo, Mr. Tomonori Yoshida.
In the brewing stage, it is not decided which tank will become Tomonori, and the best tank from which the junmai ginjo is brewed becomes Tomonori.
Moreover, it is a limited distribution sake, so the brewery does not sell it in reverse.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%, and although there is no mention of the sake rice, it is said to be Sakonishiki.
If so, it is the same as the Izumo Fuji Yukigumo we drank the other day!
It is a Junmai Ginjo-shu, a Nakadori (raw sake), orikarami.
It is all drunken words!
The appearance is a yellow-white orikagara that leaves a clear impression with a hint of tailings floating in the air.
The aroma is calm and gorgeous, with pear and melon ginjo aroma and soft rice aroma.
In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness and a gentle but present acidity.
The softness of the tailings and the firm, full flavor flow with a slight bitterness and finish with a sharp edge.
Super delicious!
I heard there was also a petit gas feeling right after opening the bottle, which I imagine made it even more delicious 🤤.
I like Gassan to begin with, but I would like to drink Tomonori at home at least once in a while.
Good morning, Aladdin 😃
Mr. Tsukiyama! I'd like to take you out for a series of J&N drinks I've never had 🤗I think I'll start with Tsukiyama first 😅Tomonori-san! I'm curious about the Izumo style sake 😄.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Gassan can also be fruity, and some of them are very sweet and tasty, so I would recommend you to pick up one that is more dry and refreshing if you can 😄.
The stock of Izumo sake has risen from Snow Cloud 😁.
Good evening, Aladdin. Jiichiro! I see that you had the sake you wanted to try, CHUIN. Aladdin-san's delicious comments make me want to drink more and more! I'd love to take you home for a drink sometime 🍶✨.
Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Tomonori, it's one of the selected junmai ginjos from Gassan, and the taste was irresistible.
I would like to try this sake at home too, but I have never seen Tomonori even though I have Gassan 😌.
