Almost water. The mouthfeel is almost watery. It has a strong flavor, but it is not too assertive. It is more suitable for everyday drinking than for special occasions.

Tasted and purchased at the 2024 Autumn Gokuraku Kai @ Iida Sake Shop.
Kin-kin cold 🧊 and very pleasant sake. Sweet and gentle to the body. It also has a nice umami taste. My wife says it goes well with food. The taste of rice is strong. At 50°, the umami and sweetness become more intense, but the spiciness is a little stronger. 60°, the aroma is strong, but it seems to come together. The sweetness becomes stronger. My wife prefers 50 degrees.
Serve with yam, ume plum, okaka seaweed, bean sprout namul, pork strips with yakiniku sauce, and bean sprouts.

Entering the second half, we start with a seasonal one here 🍶.
ICHIHONYOSHI HIYAOROSHI Autumn Junmai Sake
The aroma is serene and slightly acidic with a hint of ginjo, the mouthfeel is united with a calm sweetness and umami, a little bitter bitterness, and then it finishes gently with a sweet aftertaste.
Ippongi" will soon be the first sake to be served in the prefecture at the time of its new release.
If you have a chance, please enjoy "Ippongi Hatsushibori" 🙇.
A flier at a local liquor store said it was a limited edition sake made only once every few years, so as a lover of sake, I had no choice but to buy it! I got a bottle for the upcoming sake season. I am looking forward to drinking it 😊.
Fresh and fruity aroma for a moment.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness and deliciousness of the fresh aroma that passes through your nose, followed by a rich aroma.
The soft sweetness lingers in the mouth for a while.
It is very drinkable but easy to drink.
Here is a bottle to accompany this evening. When you open the bottle, the aroma is a little organic. When you put it in your mouth, it is spicy as the name suggests! When you look for it, you can feel the sweetness and it is quite refreshing. I think this type of wine can be a good accompaniment. The cabbage and maitake mushrooms stir-fried in Chinese style has a bitter taste that mellows out the aftertaste of the sake. Vinegared lettuce sweetens the sake. After the potato salad with chicken and pickled turnip, it is tremendously refreshing. The spiciness is reduced and it is like water. I don't know what it is, but when I combined it with dried fish, it was sweet for a moment, but the bitterness was amazing. I don't like it. But when I added grated daikon radish, the bitter taste disappeared. Marriage is so difficult!
It was a difficult sake to control.
Purchased at a supermarket during a trip to Fukui. Every supermarket I went to always had a pack of this type of sake. It must be a major brand in Fukui. It is interesting that "jizake" seen in other prefectures and "jizake" seen locally are totally different.
There was no unpleasant sake smell, and it was drinkable as usual. It is even easier to drink when it is warmed up. Maybe it is better to drink it warmed than chilled.
