Summer only bottle.
Sweet taste. But a little heavy. It has a clean aftertaste and a dry feeling.
The alcohol content is high, so it is recommended to drink it with ice.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
Mr. Pekho was curious about this sake 😃.
This is my first time to try this sake!
According to the description
The concept is to enjoy it with ice.
A cool sound like a wind chime played when the ice touches the glass.
Aroma and flavor that changes richly as the ice melts until the end" 🧐.
It is said to be the first sake brewed by a foreigner, Mr. Philip Harper.
Delicious 😋.
Super Dry‼️🎐
That's the image I have of it.
It's not sweet and tasty, but it's not dry either.
It has a unique flavor that somehow reminds me of gin👍
It's not a lively summer, but a quiet summer enjoyment while enjoying the changing flavors as the ice melts.
I had such an impression 🍶.
I enjoyed it chilled with ice on top 😃.

Hello shinsaku3!
We are also interested in this one, but have not had it yet 🥲It looks like you can drink it on the rocks 🧊 and enjoy it in a relaxed way 🤗.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I recommend this drink for what it's worth😃.
It's like you can drink it in a bar while slowly passing around a glass with ice 🧊 floating 😅.
I bought it last summer, stored it to heat up in the winter and forgot about it 🤣.
I had it with warmed sake 🍶.
Overall, it's mellow 🥰.
It's good and delicious 👍
Tamagawa's sake should be heated!
Good evening, tomo 🦉.
I'm glad you remembered before it got too hot 😆👍and I'm also impressed that you bought it for warming up ✨I also prefer it sweeter when warmed up, but since it's a summer release, I either drink it or forget to buy it💦next year 💦.
Hi Pon 😃
Basically I leave Tamagawa at room temperature, but I forgot to put this one in the fridge 😅.
This is 500ml, so even if you buy it, you'll finish it soon 🤣.
I forgot to take a picture of the bottle...
I drank this sake at the first sake bar I went to.
It has a firm umami flavor and a good acidity!
Easy to drink!

Tamagawa Ice Breaker 2019BY
Aged 5 years
Slightly hazy dark yellow.
Banana, cloves, steamed straw, paulownia chest
Fairly strong impact, full sweetness, firm acidity, mellow impression with umami accompanied by bitterness, slightly long finish
When heated hot, the spread of the flavor is brought together.
I think I prefer this one if I want to drink it in a leisurely manner.
No, I like both.
When I tried it with mackerel sushi, the hotter version gave a better sense of unity.
I felt a bit of fishiness when it was hiya (room temperature).
I was once told by the toji (master brewer) of a brewery
Why is Tamagawa's sake so strong?
He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing.
He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing.
He replied, "Because Harper's sake is the real thing.
Hmmm, what is "real" and what is the opposite, "fake"?
I think I asked him what happened next since we were drinking, but I don't remember.
I will ask again.
