Brewing the time, reflecting the land. A new generation of sake - "itonami 2024
The Wakatsuru Brewery, which has a history of over 100 years in Tonami, Toyama, has made a new move to challenge the next generation and the world,
Itonami" is a new step for the next generation and the world.
✳︎
The new product to be released in 2024 is a revolutionary low-alcohol sake made from the raw materials of sake brewing.
Itonami utilizes the knowledge of wooden fermentation tanks and lactic acid bacteria cultivated through whiskey production,
For the fermentation, we used indigenous lactic acid bacteria derived from "kabura-zushi" and a new type of yeast developed by Toyama Prefecture.
The mellow aroma is reminiscent of melon or pear, and the taste is mildly sweet,
The deep aftertaste of sourness and umami creates a mellowness that is hard to imagine from the light 13% alcohol content.
Tradition and innovation, the land and people's activities come together in this sake.
This sake is the very "work" that will illuminate the future of sake.
It has a light ginjo aroma when the bottle is first opened, and a sweet attack as soon as it enters the mouth, with a refreshing finish in the latter half. It also has a sake yeast yeast yeast flavor, and can be drunk cold even if you are not a fan of sake. It has not only the usual Naekaya flavor, but also a fermented taste, and the changes are very enjoyable and delicious.
Toyama Nigori Sake Fair at KITTE? I had a drink at the Toyama Nigori Sake Fair at KITTE.
I've already had Naekaya, but this was my first time to try Wakatsuru!
It's refreshing, but also has a lot of floral and sweet flavors.
I don't know what the specs are except that it's fire-roasted 😅.
It has a strong sweet aroma. The taste is fresh and melon-like, just as the aroma suggests. However, it is a little too sweet...
It tastes sweet all the way through to the aftertaste, so there's no crispness to it. It is delicious, but personally, I would like to see a little more sourness or bitterness.
A bottle of sake recommended by the liquor store
My first Toyama sake 🔰.
It was described as "like a white peach".
It is not sweet, but a refreshing taste.
This is a sake made by Wakatsuru Sake Brewery, which is limited to the Kanto region, and it is very fruity with a strong sweet taste!
This is a must-try 🍶.
The flavor is refreshing and robust. Plus it has a juicy feel to it.
The words "Wakatsuru-shuzo" on the label are also a nice touch.
You can drink Gohyakumangoku sake at a reasonable price.
