It is mellow and gorgeous, but not too sweet.
As the name suggests, it has a noble taste.
I am so happy that it is now available in Fukushima 😃.

For the first time in a while, I was able to have a drink at Kagobo, a small restaurant nearby.
It is so rare to find it at liquor stores, and is so valuable that you can buy it with a purchase coupon after one year!
It is not as rich or floral, but it has a great mouthfeel that goes down smoothly. It's not as rich as the others, but it has a great mouthfeel that comes in easily.
I would love to drink it at home 🍶.

I finally got it!
Unlike the gorgeous fruity stuff we've been getting lately, this feels like a real classic sake!
It goes down smoothly, leaves a slight irritation in the throat, and is both light and full-bodied.
I can understand why many people say they like it better than Tobiroki!
I think I prefer Tobiroki.
I can't get it these days, and I've almost forgotten what it tastes like.

I rarely drink honjozo, but this is exceptional!
It exudes a sharpness.
At 13 degrees, it is as refreshing as a white wine and goes down your throat nicely.
I am surprised that it costs less than 3,000 yen. ‼️

Cospa is the best 😀
I didn't know you could buy Daiginjo at this price!
It's full-bodied without being habitual.
I used to drink it a lot when I was in Yamagata.

White wine at first, like a cocktail🍸.
Light on the palate.
Great as an aperitif 😀.
With the passage of time, it also develops a sense of deliciousness!
I enjoyed it as a food wine as well: ‼️

It's been a while since I've had it, but it didn't disappoint.
It was fruity like a white wine, a little sweet when opened, but the next day it became more refreshing and to my liking.
It would be perfect as an aperitif.
Before posting on this site, I had a marker in Matsubu. I bought it in 1990 at a sake brewer's cooperative in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
I think the number of sake breweries has decreased considerably since then.
In a move, the eastern edition, which I drink a lot of, was torn and lost somewhere. I have a copy, but it's a big shock!

I have been drinking sake for 38 years, and I have never had such a cosy sake. It has an unbelievable flavor and sharpness for a sake made with brewer's alcohol and 70% polished rice, and it doesn't linger even the next day.
Yamagata won first place in Japan in the New Sake Competition. Seven years ago, I heard a seminar by Mr. Koseki, a special advisor to the prefectural sake brewers' association, who said that Yamagata has been working on sake brewing by researching water, sake rice, and technology in cooperation with industry, academia, and government. This must be the result of steady efforts.
Having lived in Fukushima for 17 years, I am disappointed to have missed the 10 consecutive championships, but I will celebrate Yamagata's victory with sake, which I have enjoyed living there for 3 years 🥹.

Sake level of 10% and alcohol level of 18% were new to me, but as one would expect from Toyokai, it is easy to drink 🍶.
It is easy to drink 🍶 It has a slightly spicy and umami taste.
I drank it on the rocks as a food sake, but it is a dangerous sake that I could drink as much as I wanted.

In both Iwate and Fukushima, even the top liquor stores with the best selection of sake continue to limit the number of bottles, such as one bottle per household.
It is such a valuable flavor that I enjoy it regularly.
This sake rice is mellow and soft on the palate, yet crisp and dry!
Whether you are a sake connoisseur or a beginner, it will not disappoint.
The sake rice is changed depending on the season, so you can enjoy it each time.
It is sometimes out of stock depending on the timing, so buy it as soon as you find it.
Is it at a premium in Tokyo?

Yes, my wife stood in line to buy Izumikawa.
I found this brand to be more delicious than Tobiroki!

It would be impossible to have this lineup at a fixed price in the future.
The Nanyo Shuzo factory, Tobiroki was ordered months in advance, and 100-nen no solitude was secretly sold to me by a regular liquor store customer.
Regardless of the circumstances, these brands are simply delicious.
In particular, the Hanahayo is as gorgeous as its name suggests, but has a sharpness that is not too sweet. I would recommend it even to those who do not like sake.
I had no idea that there were such excellent sake breweries in Saitama until I moved here for work. I was surprised to find that there are many sake breweries in Saitama.

Since Tobiroki is hard to find, I lined up to get Izumikawa on a specific day!
The feeling of gusto after the first sip is no less than that of Tobiroki.
