Sashimi is coming, so let's start a sashimi one 🐟 for Ishikawa sake 🏁.
Lightly sweet 😌.
Slight sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste.
Swelling sweetness and flashing sharpness when paired with sashimi ⚡️
This is the flash ✨
Hi Hiro 😃
It's fun to drink out and be able to change the sake to suit the Tsumami 🤗We sometimes leave the sashimi for the next bottle 😙 even when we drink at home!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
Yes, having a choice of beverages when drinking outside is an advantage 😆.
Choosing sake to go with the food is a lot of fun and new discoveries 🤗.
☀️
The rice is Ishikawa Mon, a sake brewing rice from Ishikawa Prefecture 🌾.
I like the name, it's very cool 😎.
It's sake 🍶.
It has a very slight amber color 🟡.
I don't know much about wine, but I thought the color was vaguely reminiscent of something you would find in wine 🍷.
The taste is a mixture of sweetness like ripe apples 🍎 and a good amount of umami.
The wine is very smooth with a slight acidity at the end 🤗.
Good morning, Hiro-san!
［I've never heard of Ishikawamon before ✨.
I'm curious to know the difference since I've had "Takeba" brewed with edible rice [Yumemizuho] by the same [Kazuma Sake Brewery] 🥰.
I wonder if the sharpness of the acidity expresses the [flash] 🤔.
Hi Gyve😄
I had never heard of Ishikawa-mon myself.
I thought it was lighter and easier to drink than my image (including memory correction) of the bamboo leaves I drank in the past 😄.
I'd like to drink Takeba again to see for sure 😆.
A special junmai sake with a clear taste.
It's a little more refined than I usually prefer.
In that sense, it may not be like a special junmai sake, or perhaps it is because it is a special junmai sake?
The aroma is nice too... 🤩.

Ishikawamon" produced in Ishikawa
55% polished rice.
Winner of the Gold Medal at IWC2023.
Gorgeous aroma, robust rice flavor, and a gentle, clean finish.
The flavor is gorgeous, the rice flavor is robust, and the aftertaste is gentle and refreshing.

Talking and inertia.
Authentic liquor feel.
Piquant alcohol.
Sharp impression that fits the word "spark".
It might be good with surume-ika (Japanese common squid) or some other food.
Takeba is the same, but I don't like it so much.
May 2019, at the usual Tiger's Restaurant in Shibuya. Enjoyed with chicken nanban and croquettes, as they say "it can be enjoyed with western food."
I drank "Sen" in April, and it was delicious, so I'm repeating it.
The brewer is Kazuma Shuzo Co. in Noto-machi, Ishikawa Prefecture.

April 2019, as the second drink of the day at Tiger's Bird in Shibuya. Accompanied by char-grilled Jidori chicken.
The brewery is "Kazuma Shuzo K.K." in Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Their main brand seems to be "Chikka" and "Sen" was not listed on their current website, but they seem to make a variety of other good sake.
