The first sake I bought from a mail-order store after getting into sake was Toyobai's Tsukiaki, and I can still vividly remember how good it tasted. I can still vividly remember how good it tasted!
The sweet and sour aroma of apples, typical of Toyobai, wafts gently through the air. When the smooth brewing water, which is slightly sweet as usual and you don't even notice it is flowing, is added, the sweet and sour apple aroma and taste overwhelm your taste buds. However, it is never overpowering, and instead, a bit of astringency and bitterness skillfully restrains the vigor of the sake, allowing it to settle in with the restrained sake. The sharpness of the sake cleanses the palate. There are not many sake that are so moderate and calm. I continue to love Toyobai for creating such sake. If my last day on earth approaches, I will drink Toyobai and wait for that time.
I thank Toyobai for the sake, and thank you again for the food tonight!
