Here is a gift from my husband. I drank it for the first time.
Yum !!!!
At first it was sweet like melon, but it was spicy and refreshing! Too easy to drink. It's a dangerous drink. LOL!
I'll buy it next time I find it, I'll be a repeat customer!
It has a fruity taste with a rounded flavor.
I thought it was a hiyaoroshi like a draft sake, and that's exactly what it said on the back of the bottle.
It is not raw at all, but rather moderately calm, with a refreshing acidity that comes afterwards.
Good.
A gift from a friend. It is the first time to have a sake in a paulownia box.
It has a fruity ginjo aroma like strawberries. It has a concentrated sweetness and a good acidity. The slightly peculiar flavor that reminds me of shochu (Japanese liquor) comes from the black malted rice? (I don't know 😅). Such a delicious sake is hard to find ♥ Thank you, Mr. Fatty!

Rough and strong dryness, which is not noticeable when cold, but becomes more pronounced when warmed.
This is my first "Ikegame".
It is a junmai daiginjo, but it has a solid feel, probably because it is unpasteurized. It is very drinkable.
It is a limited edition, and the fact that I was able to enjoy it with a sense of superiority that I got it only adds to its deliciousness.
I want to drink it again.
Summer sake continues. Dry and crisp Ikegame. The label is a goldfish, which is a hit with the two girls next to me.
It has been a long time since we have had sake from Fukuoka.

First Fukuoka sake on my new account.
It is Ikegame from Kurume 🐢.
The label is a cute goldfish: ❤️
This is my first time drinking Ikegame, and while it is a junmai sake, it also has a bit of ginjo aroma, which gives it a nice cosiness 😙.
It has a refreshing and crisp summery taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and umami that won't interfere with your meal 😋.
It went well with meat, fish, and vegetables👍.
Thanks to the sake brewery and the store that recommended it to us 🙏!
Purchased at a liquor store.
Ikegame is a local sake often seen in Fukuoka.
Outside of the prefecture, you may not see it so often.
The label with a goldfish, which is reminiscent of summer sake, is cute and makes you feel cool.
Serve it cold.
It has a fresh aroma like cucumber. Some people may have different tastes.
In the mouth, it has a crisp taste like a ginjo-shu, but gradually changes to a fuller, more complex flavor that is typical of junmai sake.
The aftertaste is slightly longer than normal.
At about 1,300 yen for 4 gou of sake, it is probably more cost-effective than other summer sakes.
Recommended for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
First Ikegame. 20 years bottled, BY unknown.
Cheese-like aroma. There is no sense of maturity on the palate, and it has a smoothness that is typical of 50% polished aluzome. When it is cold, it is too refreshing, but as the temperature rises, the sweetness and deliciousness come out.
At Hakata Station,
I had it as a tasting.
It has the taste of summer.
The label is also cute,
The label is cute and makes you want to reach out for it.
