I heard a voice actor say that the sake of Yamaguchi Prefecture is delicious ottersai, but Toyo Bijin! So I bought it. It's very dry, and the first sip is so spicy that it's hard to believe, but the aftertaste disappears quickly. Yes, it is indeed delicious. I want to drink the other ones too. This is good. I also got some sake for the new year, but I'll post more about that in the New Year.

Japanese>English

I'm not going to let anything stop me. Lightly crisp, fruity, sweet and sour aroma. Melon Horseback or Pear Because it is origari, it is light white. The aftertaste is moderately sour and refreshing. It is easy to drink and is perfect for when you want to lift your spirits.

Japanese>English

This is my first Toyo Bijin. I had drunk Yachiyo Shuzo's Room twice and wondered what kind of Toyo Bijin was in its class, but I happened to find it at a store I had been visiting for a while, so I bought it on the spur of the moment! The standing aroma is tropical and a bit gorgeous with pineapple and melon fruits. Is this the sweetness of Oriental Beauty? The sweetness is firm but moist and not stinging! There is also an impression of peach in addition to the fruits mentioned earlier. It is sweet, but not unpleasantly so, and has a very elegant bitterness, so it can be paired with appetizers, such as salads and cheese. This is the taste of Miyamanishiki of Hanahayo and Junodai of Hachitanishiki, right? This is delicious! Speaking of fruity sweet sake without any corners, Ding was great, but Toyo Bijin is also great!

White peaches, strawberry gum, and a nice smell of sake lees on the sales floor. I have a feeling it's already delicious. Juicy syrup with a fruity taste, sweet sourness runs when you try to swallow. Once the taste fades, there is a slight effervescence, a light but not persistent sweetness, and a numbing sensation at the back of the tongue. Occasional bitterness. Overall, it is an elegant sweet sake with a sense of transparency. It is better to drink it in small sips rather than gulping it down.

Japanese>English

Smells of peach, sake lees, and cream. Slightly effervescent, with a tangy, popping acidity, a slight sweetness and bitterness, it has a unique flavor and is clear to drink. It is a dangerous drink that can be drunk like water, as if the tongue becomes numb. My legs are dizzy. Delicious.

v (*) 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Kamo Nishiki was sitting in my fridge after I bought it last fall. It was a delicious sake with good balance.

June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drinking sake. The last and seventh drink of the day was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori. It is a mellow, sweet and delicious sake, easy to drink easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. It is easy to drink without feeling alcohol content. It was delicious with grilled sea eel and I enjoyed it with grilled sea eel and tanzaku yam.

I worked hard, so I opened a bottle of Snoclet followed by this one. Sweet, good, a little sourness, bitterness, and a bit of gusto there. Awesome ‼️ I like it better than Snoclet. I'm honored Chrysanthemum, I'll keep chasing it, even if it costs more for shipping: ‼️

Japanese>English

When the bottle is opened, bam! As expected...it's a fresh and fruity aroma...and the mouthfeel is fresh, sweet, and bitter...with a hint of sourness. I'm sipping it with seared sea bream, sea bream, and seared Spanish mackerel as snacks...a little...sweet...but delicious...(^^)

A lightly nigori, lightly sparkling sake made from black koji. It claims to be an "aperitif". But when you open the bottle, it has a good acidity. It can also be used as an aperitif. As the day goes by As the day goes on, it becomes more mellow and sweet.

Japanese>English

The first time I drank it, it didn't make much of an impact, but as I drank it, it became more flavorful and robust... so good!

Japanese>English

The second drink was a Mutsu Hachisen Midori label‼️. Is this the one Manachi was drinking? A slightly different one? I'm not sure 😆. Well, I only remember that this one tastes just as good 😋🤣.

Translated from original in Japanese: 🍶🍶🍶🍶 This year I got the 33rd batch of Jr. Aizan, which I failed to buy last year 😀 The Banshu Aizan is polished to 33 and is a luxury product. The aroma is gorgeous, the taste is sweet and delicious, and the nose is refreshing. The aroma is gorgeous and the taste is sweet and delicious.

I wish I could have been there 🍶🍶🍶🍶 We had the Jr. Series Juicy Dry 🙌. The aroma is mild, and when you put it in your mouth it changes from delicious to slightly dry and then disappears quickly. Kudokukidake has a strong umami taste to it, so this dry taste was fresh and tasty 😀.

Japanese>English

(**Ohmami*)🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today we had Kudoki-jote 😀 The aroma is slightly fresh muscat 🤔The drink is completely different from the previous Kudoku Ute 😙It's not a strong sweet and tasty sake but a refreshingly juicy and acidic sake 😚Jr. It was like a change of pace for Jr.

It has a melon feel, Fruity aroma though, yet it has a very mild sweetness. It is possible only by polishing rice, The taste is delicate and clean. The sake rice is Yamada-Nishiki, and the rice polishing ratio is 35%.

Transparent sweetness, The silky smooth mouthfeel. This is the best of the series. It is a very expensive limited edition sake, I am very satisfied with it.

Well, I like it. The moment you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads and it doesn't leave an unpleasant aftertaste, so you can't help but drink it. Be careful not to get drunk.

The aroma is subtle, and the flavor does not interfere with the food...! You can feel the deliciousness of the rice, but it has a good balance of humility 🍶 No wonder it's so popular...I'll be sipping it with a side of Hakata's specialty "sesame mackerel" and Chiba's specialty "sesame sardines"...sipping it with a sip!
