Taken by my sons on Father's Day at Akashi kinomi (izakaya).
I had it on the rocks.
It has a good balance of umami and acidity. The flavor is rounded out by the gradual melting of the ice.
It was a modern type of sake with more of a sake feel than I expected.
I guess my expectations were high because it was recommended by the sakelabo.
It was delicious, but not my favorite.
This drink is here again this year ♫
It has a unique lactic acidity due to the sake's raw yeast structure, but being a semi-gin, it is well-balanced!
I also like to drink it on the rocks too: ✨️
It's starting to feel a bit like summer, so I had a glass of Tamagawa Icebreaker from the Kyoto Kinoshita Sake Brewery. The style of this sake, which is served on the rocks, is very easy to drink. It has a cool and refreshing taste with a strong aroma.
The first sip...the sweetness jumps in first. The alcohol content is high, so you can enjoy a slight tingling sensation in your mouth.
The second sip is served on the rocks with ice...the sweetness disappears and a pleasant bitterness appears...another sake with a different taste.
The sweetness, spiciness, and acidity each come with a bang. It has a slightly banana-like aroma.
It is too strong when drunk on its own, so it is just right when drunk on the rocks.
Personally, I felt it was a bit classic.
I think it would be good warmed up.
It's time for this drink again this year 😁.
Tamagawa Icebreaker🐧.
Many posts have already gone up on Sake no Wa 😊.
I bought it in a bottle this year!
Straight up on the first day of opening the bottle.
This year's flavor is less sweet and more pungent.
It also has a caramel-like bitterness that is typical of Tamagawa.
When drunk at room temperature, the sweetness and bitterness become more pronounced to my liking 🥰.
The thick backbone is the same as usual, so it definitely doesn't lose its flavor on the rocks 😋.
Hi tomo 😃
Here we are, drinking and drinking heron repeatedly 😆 I saw it at the liquor store the other day and went through it 😅.
This summer is the time! I think I will probably drink it.
When ice breakers are available, early summer has arrived! I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter, but this year's is not.
I had an image of it being a little sweeter, but this year's is not sweet and easy to drink.
