Strange aroma that I have never smelled before.
The taste is light and sweet, with a hint of rice sweetness.
Maybe it is because I am not used to drinking it, but I don't like it very much.
Personal preference: ☆☆☆☆
I thought it was dry, but the acidity was more predominant and characteristic than the dryness.
The aroma is like raisins and grapes.
The flavor is rich and umami, but at the same time it is very sharp and very tasty.
(It is so delicious that it goes well with everything.)
With local squid and leatherfish
Purchased at Fresh Matsuya Ryotsu store
Fruity dry
Oaky aroma, thick attack. The taste is fruity and dry. Light on the palate, it goes in easily and is light and full-bodied.
It is as good as the accompanying tuna steak 🤣.
On a trip to Sado, I stopped by a warehouse. I was completely unfamiliar with the brewery, so I changed into sandals and bought the products in what looked like a corner of the office. I wondered if it was a small place in Sado, but when I looked at the shelves, I found "Itaru". There is a "Itaru" store in my prefecture, and I have bought it before. So this is where they make it.
Itsuki is a modern sake, but I bought it because it seemed to be the main product of Maryo.
The aroma smelled like sake, which is typical of Japanese sake. There is no bitterness, but rather a sweetness or a richness from the rice, and this tendency seems to intensify when the sake is warmed up a little. It's not modern, but it's also not the watery, characterless, and unrefined smell that is sometimes found in junmai level local sake. It has a thicker feel. It's orthodox, but I could drink it, even though I don't usually drink that type of sake.
1590 including tax.
