A limited edition of "Ma-ya"? Ikegame is a special item only available at "Maya".
The one I go to doesn't have it, so I looked for it at several stores and finally got it 😁.
It has a firm sweetness with a touch of sourness, and an astringent taste in the second half. It tastes better than I expected, but I think the astringent taste lingers for a long time.
I think the astringent taste disappears and settles down nicely after a few days after opening.
Transparent with yellowish tints, it has aromas of melon, honeysuckle, and cooked rice. The attack is rather strong and refreshing.
The acidity is sour, the sweetness is moderate, and the aftertaste is rather short.
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.
