A drinking friend of mine wanted to drink a bottle of Takezuru by Toshi Ishikawa, who has moved to Tsuki no I. So I agreed to accompany him. We had it heated. The first aroma is like a matured Shaoxing sake. The first sip had a matured Shaoxing sake-like aroma, and the second had a mildly sweet taste with a Shaoxing sake-like acidity and umami. The sweetness is still there, but it's the kind of fully fermented sake that you can drink while eating snacks. It was delicious 🍶✨.

I've been saving it for over 2 years because it's my favorite brand, but I've decided to open it up. I'm going to enjoy changing the flavor slowly from here ✨. When you open the bottle and pour it in, the aroma is like sweet baked sweets like sponge cake or kawara senbei. The mouthfeel is round and robust. It is round and robust on the palate, with a punch of spiciness and a tangy sourness. It also has a rich, thick flavor and a sweetness that spreads gradually. The balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter is exquisite, not just strong and heavy, and the taste has a wide range of deep flavors, including a confectionery, grain, and rice feel! This is the second brand that has really caught my attention after "Akagisan," and I am very happy with it. It is a bit pricey, but I would like to try the sake made from the original sake yeast if I see it 😌.

☆☆☆☆☆ I would love to drink the whisky Takezuru, but the sake Takezuru. This is probably my first time. Unlike the aroma, the taste is strong and robust. But it is surprisingly easy to drink. It smells a little like alcohol, but it is delicious.

This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. This sake is here, but I find it strange that it tastes like a honjozo despite being junmai. I am very happy to be able to drink local sake. Cheers to good sake! Tonight I will have a cup of sake with a very tasty kinki fish stew!

Memorandum of Reminder 🙏. Drinking party in Yokogawa. We had a little drink at "Chobitto" at the end of the meeting. This time we had "Spherical (spherical polished rice)" which is good for warming up. Next time I would like to compare it with "Flat (flat polished rice)" 🤗.

2018BY. almost brown in color. At room temperature, it is very scruffy and has a strong sharpness. Warming up to 50-55℃ seems to be a good balance between the thick-bonedness typical of Taketsuru and the sharpness with acidity. There is a burnt aftertaste, but the sense of maturity is moderate for a BY.
