My father, who was crazy about Jyushiyo, bought this sake to keep Jyushiyo off the dinner table.
Toyobai is my favorite standard sake, and I used to drink it a lot when I was in Tohoku.
This sake is brewed with the usual Toyobai rice and Kyokai No. 8 yeast.
Kyokai No. 8 yeast is a mutant strain of No. 6.
It was discontinued during the heyday of "light and dry" sake, but has recently been revived due to the popularity of the No. 6 yeast (in essence, Shinsei).
The bottle was a little dry when opened.
It is hard to say that it is aromatic.
It may have been compared to Jyushiyo.
It is rich and mellow with a strong sense of koji (malted rice).
It has a strong flavor and sweetness.
It is the best match when drunk with yakiniku (grilled meat) the next day.
It goes well with red meat.
It was a bottle that could play the leading role, not an atema of Jyushiyo.
