The tososan made at the end of the year is filled with the seasons that occur in the mitosaya garden throughout the year.
Traditionally, tososan was made by steeping certain medicinal herbs in mirin or sake and enjoying it as New Year's toso, and there were rules regarding the herbs involved.
However, rather than reproducing the exact types, we have created our own original tososan, which changes year by year to include a lineup of medicinal herbs that is unique to mitosaya.
One bag is roughly the amount of sake, mirin, or wine bottle. It goes well with slightly sweet sake. If you put the plant whole or cut it into small pieces, it will absorb the aroma more easily. Place in a bottle that can be stored and pour in your favorite sake.
Leave it overnight and strain it before enjoying it as a New Year's gift.The flavor will become even stronger if you let it soak for a while after that, but once you have strained it, chill it in the fridge and enjoy it slowly.

Another great tip is to boil TOSO in milk, add sugar and make chai.
Have a happy new year.

The tokoso, made at the end of the year, is filled with the seasons of the mitosaya garden itself. Since ancient times, tokoso-sanso was made by soaking certain medicinal herbs in mirin (sweet sake) or sake and enjoying them as tokoso for the New Year, and there were rules about the herbs. However, instead of reproducing the types of herbs themselves, we have developed an original form of tokoso that has changed over the years to a lineup of herbs that is unique to mitosaya. Each bag contains approximately the same amount of sake, mirin, or a bottle of wine. A little sweet sake goes well with it. If you crush or tear the pieces into pieces, the aroma will be more easily absorbed. Pour the sake into a preservable bottle and pour in the sake of your choice. Leave it overnight and strain it before serving at the New Year's celebration. After that, the flavor will become more intense if you let it marinate, but once strained, refrigerate and serve slowly.

As a back-up, you can also boil TOSO with milk and add sugar to make chai. Have a happy New Year!
