Since I drank the full moon type a few years ago 🌝.
It's been a while since I found it, so this time I bought the crescent type..!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was rich and full, like brown sugar and yogurt. At the same time, it has a clean and refreshing taste.
The mouthfeel is smooth, but the taste is calm and thick. However, the acidity and clean sake quality also give the impression of being deep, yet easy to enjoy.
The gentle sweetness of the rice after the acidity is like a candy and a whip, creating a good balance!
The aftertaste is like honey yogurt 🍯.
The impact of the flavor is less than that of Full Moon, but the balance between drinkability and flavor is perfect!
There were several other varieties, so I'll be trying more often ✨
Kaga-no-tsuki Hyakumangoku-no-shiro Junmai Daiginjo-genshu 720ml
Junmai Daiginjo-Genshu brewed from Ishikawa's original sake rice "Hyakumangoku no Shiro" and Kanazawa yeast. The subtle aroma of banana, the fruity flavor on the tongue, and the spicy aftertaste that only sake made from pure sake can produce will warm your body and soul.

It is probably a fast brewer, but it has a lactic acidity.
It has a certain "umami" taste and a certain "raitonato" carry.
When paired with marmalade, it is an explosion of citrus! Fushigi!
I'm not sure if it's the citrus element, but if you drink this after having sweet summer marmalade and liver paste, the citrus notes are more elevated.
I drank it cold. It is delicious. Well, a food sake.
It has a unique umami taste in the mouth and a crisp, dry taste that goes down the throat 🍶I had the strange impression that the umami changed every time I drank it, and I would like to drink several more glasses of sake ✨.

Also from the Ishikawa booth, this sake was too good to pass up.
Kaga no Tsuki Junmai Ginjo Reconstruction Assistance Sake: Ishikawa's Sake
The breweries that survived the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January were supporting the recovery efforts through the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association, and each brewery offered a version of "Kaga no Tsuki" as a relief sake.
The clear and delicious aroma of rice, the smooth taste on the palate, the lingering aftertaste, and the bitterness at the back of the throat that lingers at the end.
We hope for the earliest possible recovery and that you can return to your daily life with peace of mind ✨.
Support Ishikawa by drinking 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby, hello here too ☀.
I guess it's a daily practice that we could drink [sake of the month] here 😁.
Someone introduced "Tsunagu Ishikawa no Sake" from another brewery in Sake-no-wa, there seems to be quite a variety 😲.
Is there anything I can do to support Ishikawa Prefecture?
I bought a bottle of sake that was on sale temporarily at an antenna store of Ishikawa Prefecture at a transit station.
I will enjoy it while wishing for the reconstruction and restoration of the area.
When you open the bottle, it smells sweet and spicy 😉.
The color is clear and yellowish.
I will drink it.
After a dive of acidity, I thought the melon juice would spread, but at once my tongue was covered with astringent bitterness 😁.
Then sweetness appears and spreads 😋.
At the same time, the back of my throat is hot and spicy.
The aftertaste is like the aftertaste of eating melon. Even if you think it tastes like melon all the way through, it doesn't become a distinct melon taste.
As the temperature settled down, the sweetness and umami became more pronounced and the astringent bitterness faded 😎.
On the second day, when it is chilled to a crisp, you don't taste the astringent bitterness at all, it is as if you are tasting bonito broth after a light melon flavor 🤤.
