Fukushima Prefecture, Ishikawa County. Toyokuni Sake Brewing Company.
Ippouki Unrefined Junmai Nama-zake
I couldn't choose one over the other, so I bought both.
I couldn't choose one or the other...
I couldn't choose one over the other... I will have it cold.
When I opened the bottle, there was a small opening sound.
The color is clear with a slight greenish tinge.
The nose is gentle, with a hint of green apple.
The mouthfeel is fresh and acidic.
The palate is juicy, but not cloyingly so, with sweetness, freshness of fresh acidity, creamy richness, and umami, which change sequentially, and the acidity stimulates the tongue with a chilli. The finish is smartly bitter and astringent.
The taste artistically changes from fresh sweetness and acidity to powerful richness and umami, and then to elegant bitterness.
It's so good!
The orikarami was good, but I think I prefer this one.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol Content:16%.
Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
Junmai by Ippoumi! It's so good 🤗 yes it is! I remember that kind of taste 😋😌.
We had heated sake 🍶 which was the winner 🏆 so please try again when it's cold 👋
I had always been curious about Ippou-self, but had never had a chance to try it, and this time I happened to purchase a rare draft sake.
The elegant and soft sweetness like Pione and the umami of rice spread on the palate, and then it quickly and easily fades away.
This is so delicious.
I regret that I should have drunk Ippou myself earlier.
5.0/5.0
Purchased at Aizu Shurakukan Watanabe Sota Shoten.
After a trip to Aizu last fall, I was not in good health and had to abstain from drinking until February, so I kept this item in the refrigerator.
This is the first time I have tasted Toyokuni Shuzo's Ippou-self. Hizoku" means a shallow green color like the skin of celadon porcelain, and it was given the color name "Hizoku" because of its mysterious beauty.
The raw material rice is 100% Fukunoka produced in Fukushima Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 50%.
Alcohol content is 14 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, there is a pleasant popping sound, and the aroma is fresh. The aroma is fresh, but not too sweet.
Taking a sip, the mouthfeel is faintly sweet. The sweetness is quickly followed by a freshly flavored acidity that spreads across the palate. The acidity is fresh, but it is not outstanding.
The acidity also finishes cleanly, leaving a slight astringency as a lingering aftertaste.
This astringency brings together the flavor structure, which can be lacking in some cases.
This is the first time I've had Ippo Ichi, and my impression is that it is easy to drink and can be enjoyed over and over again without getting tired.
The flavor is not gorgeous, but calm and reserved, making it easy to drink.
It has a refreshingly pleasant mouthfeel, a mellow, unctuous sweetness that spreads as it passes down the throat, and a refreshing aftertaste once again once you wait.
Three steps down.
What, a new product from Ippo-self?
That's the only way to drink at my daughter's graduation!
So I opened the bottle💕
Mmmm, it's pretty sweet, isn't it? It's like the fructose is concentrated. It might not be good even though it's just one step away from me!
But as you drink it, the aftertaste is refreshing. The more you drink, the more you feel refreshed.
And it evaporated in no time.
Thank you for the treat 🥰.
Good evening, Mamio!
Congratulations on your daughter's graduation 🎉.
I haven't had one myself, but I think I might be a big fan of sweetened drinks with concentrated fructose ✨.
I'm sure it must have been a soaking sake time for you to feel your child's growth 😊.
Good evening, Mamio. Congratulations on your daughter's graduation㊗️🎊It's a step worthy of your departure 🤣Is this a sweet evaporation type that continues the trend of last year's Jungin - I'd like to try this one💕.
Hi Mamio 😃
Congratulations on your daughter's graduation ㊗️ 🎉
Ippo Mio's new product is spectacular 🤗I'm curious to see if it evaporates even by J&N standards 😋 when I see your review.
Thank you so much, ma-ki-😊Great time ✨I usually get the impression that Ippo-self is mild and elegantly sweet, so this was a bit different! It was sweet but refreshing and delicious - if you see it 💕.
Thank you very much, Hirupeko 😊I thought last year's Jungin was sweet? 🤔I think I might not actually be able to drink it yet🤣Hirupeko you also said it was different from the previous ones. Maybe it's that type of evaporation!
Thank you so much Jay & Nobby😊I thought it might be too sweet when I took a sip! I thought it might be too sweet when I took a sip, but anyway it had a clean aftertaste and I didn't get tired of drinking it ✨I hope you give it a try and see if it evaporates 😁.
I had a bottle of Toyokuni Shuzo's Ippouki, which I had been wanting to drink for a long time.
It was sweet and the delicious taste of rice filled my mouth.
The nigori (nigori is a type of rice wine made from the same rice) was a nice addition to the sake.
