I drank Gunma Izumi the other day to celebrate Maebashi Ikuei's ⚽️ victory ㊗️🎉.
Ota is a long way from Maebashi...
I've had this sake every year in recent years since I was a student in Gunma ✨They specialize in Yamahai, but this one is a fast brew 🌾.
I think it used to have more lees🤔.
Koji, lactic acid, cream stew... and fruity aroma of apple, pear, etc. in it 🍏.
Slightly effervescent, fresh, pear-like fruitiness.
Good rice flavor, strong bitterness in the second half, alcoholic 😋.
It's a crisp, wintery, windy taste: ❄️
I have felt in recent years that it is gentler or smoother to drink than before 😌.
Next time, I'll have a hot sake 😁.
I tried Gunma Izumi ☝️
This sake is labeled Junmai, but looking at the degree of rice polishing, it's Junmai Daiginjo specs...wow😳!
The taste has a sense of maturity, but with a gentle sweetness, moderate acidity, and dryness, but all in a gentle and pleasant way 😆.
Dusty and delicious...just like that 😁.
In Sendai
Ikeda Sake Shop has an excellent selection of heated sake
But this is what you'll find at this store!
The heater was shipped to Sendai.
This sake also seems to be made with brewer's yeast!
It's a classic yellowish sake with a hint of cinnamon.
When heated, the strong character fades, but the sweetness and riceiness of the sake is pushed out.

The sweetness and rice taste of the sake is pushed out, and the umami is superb!
It's not limited to this sake, but heated sake is very useful this season.

Jay & Nobby, that's right! The Nohbei Yokocho is a big hit with my wife and my drinking buddies!
The other day we both drank a bottle of heated sake, but the next day we were fine!
That's what heated sake is all about!
Purchased from a warehouse
It is quite yellow.
It has a slightly sour aroma and a sour taste. It has a heavy rice flavor, which is what you would expect from a Japanese sake.
