The same fruity aroma as the first sip, the rounded sweetness and umami of rice spread out with a refreshing acidity, and it finishes quickly with a slight bitterness and a faint aroma of koji malt.
The pleasant aroma and slightly viscous sweet umami spread in the first half of the bottle, and then the acidity and slight bitterness are neatly integrated, leaving a pleasant koji lingering aftertaste.
It is easy to match with meals, and of course it is delicious on its own.
It goes well with dried octopus, soymilk sundubu, and kombu-marinated kaiware.
Third cup.
From this point on, my memory of the flavors becomes increasingly fuzzy 🤭.
Please refer to the drinking report of the lady and the owner. 🤣

Itzumi Shuzo is a small brewery on Sado Island. I heard it is somewhat of a hot topic, so I was curious to purchase a bottle.
The taste is that of a moderately strong sake. It has a strong flavor of rice and a slightly melon-like fruity taste. The richness is stronger when drunk chilled. It tastes better when drunk slightly warmed, as the sweetness increases.
It is said to be delicious with sashimi. It has a strong umami taste of rice, so dishes with a soy sauce-like flavor may go well with it. It is surprisingly good with meat and potatoes.
