Slightly cloudy and fluffy, this is the first pressing in March of this year.
It was soft and fruity with the flavor of rice.
The container was also nice.
It goes well with roasted chestnuts and ricotta cheese.

The owner of the brewery told me that it was "like a melon," and it is exactly a melon.
It is a melon dominantly.

When I was in Maebashi, I used to drink this sake every year as a tradition during this season. After I left Gunma, I haven't had it for a while...but now that I'm back in my hometown, I get it every year again👍.
This sake arrived yesterday and I'm ready to drink it 💦 I opened it yesterday. As usual, it is a fast brewing sake, which is rare for Gunma Izumi.
There is no fruity topping, fresh rice and koji aroma. The supernatant is quite dry. Even when mixed with a small amount of lees, it seems much spicier than before. After mixing, there is a fizzy feeling. The sweetness and umami also increase. Still, it is tighter and harder than before. There seems to be no green apple flavor. The alcohol taste is also stronger in the second half 😋.
Hazy slightly dark crystal
Gorgeous pear and white peach aroma
Lime tree, chervil, mushroom, almond
The wine has a thick mouthfeel with gorgeous fruity aromas that spread as soon as you drink it.
Slightly long finish.
