Iwa・Five!
It was our first meeting.
I heard that they have more than 10 different brands of sake from Toyama.
The taste is of another dimension.
It has a strong sharpness in its mellowness.
I had a chance to drink it at an antenna store in Toyama.
The taste expands from the light mouthfeel. I think it is a common perception that the flavor changes as the temperature changes, but I got the impression that the flavor of IWA5 changes with each sip rather than with the temperature. I wondered if the wine's method of assemblage (combining the original wines) made it possible to taste a variety of flavors.
I also enjoyed it with pickled firefly squid, which was easy to drink but had a character that was not overpowered by the flavors of the dish.
Oh, it's coming down rather well!
I thought it was champagne, more fruity! I imagined it to be a Shichiken type, but...!
I thought it would be sweet without acidity. So it stays under (or along?) the tongue! It stays!
Like a sports car on the tongue, licking smooth... but not as sharp as a sports car!
Coming back from champagne, it feels quite sweet!
Minus sake level...? Would it be more like a red rice?
I think it could be a bit more acidic!
I wonder if it will change when it grows?
It gets sweeter and sweeter!
I've been chilling it for a while.
I think it gets more bitter when the temperature goes up (which I don't like), but I'm not sure if this is the case when it's cooled down!
The other day, I visited a brewery in Toyama for the second time since last year. I have been drinking this sake since the first generation, and it is the most mellow and gentle on the tongue.
I have been drinking it since the first generation, and it is the most mellow and gentle on the tongue. I think it goes well with meat, fish, Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes.
I want to drink it when the occasion calls for it.
