Concept sake on the rocks.
As recommended 🧊 in a wine glass with ice
Mellow, classic sake aroma
Soft and smooth texture
Powerful alcohol taste comes later, but becomes milder as the ice melts.
Crisp and clear, almost like Korean shochu...
Comparison of classic summer sake
First, straight up, it was rich and full-bodied with a slightly matured aroma.
Next, on the rocks, it is much lighter and easier to drink, but the Tamagawa character is still there, and both are delicious!
It is good to drink it straight with stamina food, but on a hot day, it is also good to drink it on the rocks with a light snack, enjoying the sound of the ice and the clinking of the glass.
KINOSHITA SHUZOH KYOTO Prefecture
Junmai Ginjo ICE BREAKER Unfiltered Nama-shu
Alcohol content: 17 or more, less than 18
Aroma: Fresh aroma, pear, rum, lime.
Taste, spicy, dark and strong flavor with acidity and citrus like lime.
The aroma changed a little and I felt a freshness and a cheese-like flavor. The aroma changed slightly and I felt a freshness and a cheese-like flavor.
The flavor is lighter and fresher, the umami is less intense, and the acidity and citrus are more easily recognizable.
It is easy to drink on the rocks, but it depends on what you like. The acidity is good for summer and goes well with fried or grilled food. It would be good to enjoy it with tin-like sake cups.
Degree of preference 7/10
The sweetness is quite firm. The bitterness comes at the same time, so there is no unpleasant feeling.
It does not have the thin or light taste that summer sake tends to have, but rather has a robust flavor.
I was a bit surprised at the difference from the image of the name.
It is said to have a cool, refreshing aroma and a gentle, rich taste with moderate rice flavor and beautiful acidity on the palate.
Sake rice is Nihonbare produced in Shiga Prefecture, rice polishing ratio is 60%, and yeast is undisclosed.
It was served well chilled.
The taste of rice is strong and deep, with a rich rice flavor that hits you hard at first ✨As you drink it, the acidity comes out and the bitterness remains at the end 😆.
It is a sake with a strong dry taste and a strong character👍.
There is also a tingling sensation on the tongue due to the raw sake!

This is my second bottle of Icebreaker this year! It has a clean, slightly dry taste with a firm lingering finish.
The rocks soak into your tired body.
It looks light and dry, but when drunk straight, it tastes mellow and dry. It has a stronger flavor than its appearance suggests.
When drunk on the rocks, the strong taste is reduced and the sake is light and refreshing.
It is an interesting sake that can be enjoyed twice at once!
🧊+🍶
It says to drink it with ice, so I did just that 🍹.
Hmmm...cold, slightly diluted Tamagawa flavor?
It's delicious, but I'm not sure if it's called sake by another name? 🤔
...but it says Tamagawa Unfiltered Nama Sake. So does that mean it has a regular label Tamagawa in it?
Well, the other day at a sake tasting, I got a hot Tamagawa.
Even hot, the flavor didn't jump out at me, and the richness stood out and was delicious.
And it tastes great on the rocks, too.
It's all-mighty, isn't it?
