First time drinking Iwano-Ii at home. Strawberry? Grapes? The aroma is mellow, like strawberries or grapes.
Slightly thick texture on the tongue. It has a slightly fresh and deep flavor with a juicy grape-like flavor. It has a firmness, perhaps because of the hard water or because it is a 17°C sake, and it finishes with a hint of acidity.
Alcohol content: 17%.
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki
The 3rd Iwanoi
Open the seal
The aroma is very gorgeous
Transparent ginjo aroma
Juicy on the palate
Fresh pear before ripening
Watery sweet grated daikon
Pleasant balance of moderate spiciness and sweetness
A strong sense of rice flavor
After slipping down the throat
A slight sourness stimulates the tongue
and a slight sourness stimulates the tongue.
The aftertaste is full of alcohol.
Fresh and powerful overall due to the unfiltered sake.
It is delicious!
But it has the image of a good sake
In terms of water hardness, which is a characteristic of this brewery
the junmai sake I drank before was more characteristic of this brewery.
Also, in comparison with Gohyakumangoku
Ihyakumangoku was more characteristic of hardness.
Yamada-nishiki has too strong flavor of rice
the characteristics of water might be diluted.
By comparing the two, I was able to reconfirm the fun of sake.
Alcohol content 16%.
Polishing ratio 70%.
The second Iwanoi
Opening the bottle
The aroma is light with a hint of rice sweetness.
Sip
The mouthfeel is like water.
The sweetness is only slightly perceptible.
However, it is not dry.
Alcoholic and bitter taste that gradually asserts itself.
The umami and bitterness on the tongue are quickly cut off
The lingering aftertaste disappears leaving a hard impression.
The umami of the rice and the hardness of the water are more than enough to be felt.
It is said that this sake is brewed with super-hard water rich in minerals.
I wonder if the difference in water has such a big impact on the impression of sake.
Very interesting sake!
The mouthfeel is sharp and gassy, a delicious sake for summer 😄🍶It has a sharpness compared to the Haginodew that I drank earlier. Chiba Prefecture also has a lot of good sake 😄🍶.
