I let it lie for six months, but ended up opening it on my birthday (not a happy age at all). It was a lucky bottle that I happened to hunt for just stocked at the liquor store. It has a fluffy ginjo aroma that is not too loud. It has a clean, refreshing mouthfeel with no cloying flavors typical of junodai. It was a perfect match for my favorite pattern of slightly sweet, fruity, low acidity, mildly bitter, and sharp, and I was able to drink it easily. The balance is perfect without being heavy, and it is beautifully delicious. Tobiroki is often reviewed as a mediocre sake that doesn't match its rarity or price, not a trend, not as good as one might expect... I personally feel that I have found a good match! Although there is some bias due to the brand's strength, I still think it is worth drinking if you consider it to be a strength as well. Well, everyone's tastes are different. According to the wholesaler, Jun-Dai is more readily available at retailers than Jun-Gin or Toku-Jun. From a restaurant's point of view, jun-dai is a bit expensive in relation to the purchase price, so it is more likely to flow to retailers. At about 3,000 yen, it's hard to make it a daily drink, but I'd probably buy it again if I could find it in the store. Thanks to my iPhone for the predictive conversion of "Tobiroki". LOL!

Mr. Manachy. Thank you! 😄 I remember that at first I had to convert one letter at a time and then it seemed to remember. I wonder if this is another learning function of the AI? Fingers crossed you get to meet Hiroki!
