It is a light nigori 26BY of Iwo 🍶.
First, cold sake.
The top aroma is that of old chests 😂.
In the mouth it has a hint of sweetness, but the aroma of old chests is strong😅.
Next, warmed sake 🍶.
When warmed, it smells like wet wood 😌.
In the mouth it tastes a little acidic and the taste wasn't bad.
Like the Chiyomusubi I had two drinks ago, nigori-style sake is said to be unsuitable for aging because the nigori part of the sake is altered and causes off-flavors.
So well, it was interesting to experience that firsthand 😂✨️
Hello, Matsuchiyo-san ☀☀☀
Smells like an old chest 🤣.
The Iwao is closed for storage so it's precious 😆 I wonder if it will be revived 🤔.
Go drink some Gonohyu 98BY today 😁.
He said that Hasegawa and Sake Merchant Fatty are the root of all evil.
Well, they lose their individuality, don't they?
I've been thinking lately that Hasegawa has influenced Masamune and they've been forcing their products.
Souvenir sake from a trip to Gunma🍶.
It has a gorgeous, fruity aroma, and the taste has a strong first impression, with a flavor that spreads a delicious mouthfeel and a slight acidity that lingers in the aftertaste.

Delicious sake at room temperature.
Dry, umami, stable. +You can feel the sharpness at +5.
I like Iwao a lot. I've been to the Iwao brewery, or rather to the company, and I fell in love with the Showa-esque atmosphere of the place. Wai no Yao.

Purchased after being recommended by Takahashi Yo Shoten.
It is a blend of sake made by the previous toji that remained in Mr. Takai's brewery, known for its rocks.
Hot sake.
It can be drunk at room temperature, but a slight sense of maturity can be felt.
The sense of maturity is also noticeable, but when warmed up, the restrained flavor and aroma blooms and fills the mouth with a full flavor.
Very tasty!
