sharp and tasty
Slight aroma, sharp attack. The taste is light and umami. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
Izu Onsen (hot spring): I got this sake on my way home from Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is said to be named after Ieyasu's success in life, but the taste is light. I wonder if this is how it tastes when you look back on the time after his long rise to power 🤔.
Hamamatsu for the first time in four years.
Shizuoka is known by those in the know for its sake, such as Hana-no-Mai and Nihonto.
When we talked to him, he told us that the brewer of Hana-no-Mai has made Shizuoka's sake more popular.
This time, it was Izakaya Izakaya de Shijo.
Fresh shirasu (baby sardines) with no smell, and gyoza (dumplings) with sweet vegetables.
The sake is a perfect complement.
As the sake brewery is located near the sea, the sake is junmai (pure rice) but refreshing.
Even without any side dishes, it is easy to gobble down.
When paired with each meal, only the flavor of the sake is left in the mouth, and the taste of sake disappears quickly and easily.
It is a delicious sake.
[*3.0
The last time I drank it, it was given to me by a colleague at work, and this time it was given to me by a junior colleague at work.
I usually show off my love of sake, so I get sake from people who like to receive it but don't drink it lol.
I have the impression that it is somewhat difficult to drink, but I was grateful for the sake ^_^.

It was very easy to drink, so in a way it was a bit of a kike (laugh).
Sake I got on a business trip to Hamamatsu.
It has been a long time since I have been on a business trip, and it has been a long time since I have had a drink with people I have met, and I do not want the world to be a place where Corona gets in the way of meeting people.
The name of this sake, "Dezejo," is an alias of Hamamatsu Castle, named after the successive lords of the castle who succeeded Ieyasu, many of whom rose to important positions in the Edo Shogunate.
It is a traditional dry sake, that feeling of a hot throat.
Hamamatsu is also the setting for a major TV drama, and Hamamatsu is hot and exciting.
Sake No. 3 I bought in Shizuoka, where my grandmother is from.
I saw it in a supermarket and was curious to buy it.
It has a very strong alcoholic aroma.
When I drank it, it was smooth and very alcoholic.
However, it did not taste like Strong Zero, which I am not fond of, and the flavor of the rice was well conveyed. It also has a long aftertaste.
As you drink it, you will gradually get used to it.
