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.

Flat polished rice is clear, aromatic, and whiskey-like. The spherical polished rice may taste like a mess at worst, but it is a complex flavor that makes it enjoyable to drink!

This is a standard hi-iru junmai of Taketsuru, the last year of Mr. Ishikawa's career (probably), aged for 4 years. Normally, it is shipped after 2 to 3 years of aging, so it is more matured. Opened the bottle on the day of purchase and started drinking on the 6th day. First a little at room temperature. Brownish color, antiseptic-like alcohol when included. It tastes a little umami, but it becomes bitter and spicy with a sharp edge. It's also a bit bitter and spicy, but it's not too bad. 40℃. Not much has changed, but it is still very rich, caramelly, and nutty. We decided it would be better to raise the temperature higher, so we increased the temperature to 50℃. It has a strong Kamikame-like smell, but when you drink it, the rice flavor with carameliness comes out, and then it becomes spicy and slowly tingling, and it finishes with a sharp edge. At 60℃, the sharpness wanes a little, but the smell becomes milder, and this temperature is the best. The best snack is something with a peculiar taste, such as iburigakko (pickled ginger), and after the taste opens up on the fourth day, buri daikon is also good. It is a very heavy, fire-aged sake for heating up quickly, but it may be a little different when it is young and its original age (the liquor store said it is ready to drink at this point and can be aged longer). I would also like to drink Tsuki-no-i after Mr. Ishikawa joined the company.
