Purchased at Yamagata Antenna Shop in Ginza. I have drunk a lot of Toko, but this may be the first time I have had a fresh bottle. The ginjo aroma is sharp and clean. Toko has an image of light and dry, but this one has a light sweetness. However, it still has Toko's character, and it has a spiciness and a gentle sweetness. Maybe it is because it is freshly bottled. It was delicious.

At a straw grill shop. Since I finished one of my holiday jobs. It has a very fresh and sweet aroma. It is a special junmai sake, but it has a melon-like fruity aroma like a ginjo. It has a melon-like fruity aroma like a ginjo, but at the same time it has the umami of rice. It is light and dry, but also sweet. I paired it with bonito tataki, but I think bonito would go better with something like Funaka Hachisaku.

Souvenir of Nikko trip. Nikko's local sake. Following Nikko Honor, it is quite dry. The acidity is quite strong and aromatic. The aftertaste is broad and fruity. It has a strong, robust flavor with plenty of alcohol. Tochigi is known for its Houou Mita, but there are many other delicious varieties.

Purchased at a souvenir shop as a souvenir of a trip to Nikko. It is a local sake of Nikko. After returning home to Tokyo, I soaked up the aftermath of my trip. On the second day, I visited Toshogu Shrine and other shrines and temples. I drank it well chilled. The aroma is subdued. It is slightly aromatic and dry, with a long aftertaste and good acidity. Well balanced and delicious.

Thank you, Jay & Nobby. I hadn't been to Nikko since my elementary school excursion, and it was great. As you become an adult, you can enjoy a wider range of things. Sake is one of them.
