Purchased as a gift from a relative who visited the brewery
Slightly apple-like top
The same subdued aroma as the top, soft sweetness and umami of rice spreads with crisp acidity and a slight bitterness that quickly fades.
It is a junmai sake with a classical feel, more suitable for a meal than as a stand-alone sake.
It went well with asparagus wrapped in meat, herring and Japanese butterbur stew.
Gentle mojito, semi-dried raisins in clusters, whey, paper, and malted rice aromas.
Mellow, heavy mouthfeel.
Quite dry. Concentrated, rich flavor and classic flavors swell. Slightly lactic sweetness and light acidity. The alcohol is strongly felt, yet strangely not dull.
Serve with Unohana (fried tofu with grated radish), Hirame sashimi, Caprese, and sautéed abalone.

After the rich umami of rice spreads
After the full-bodied flavor of the rice spreads out, a slightly bitter taste remains in the throat.
The aroma was soft and refreshing, reminiscent of green apple, pear, and a hint of peach.
In the mouth, a touch of bubbles and a gentle sweetness and sourness spread out, truly tickling all five senses.
The mildness typical of "light nigori" blends with a slight bitterness and umami, giving it a light yet deep flavor.
The finish is clean and easy to drink, but it also has a distinct "Toichi" flavor.
A modern form of Junmai sake from the "young Toichi.
This carefully brewed sake is sure to leave a lasting impression on those who know Toichi up to now, as well as those who will encounter it in the future.
