Again, we visited to greet the New Year. Again, I ordered heated sake for the first time. The picture shows only the sake bottle, but when I asked later what brand it was, I was told it was "Isobeki. This is an Aichi sake that is only sold at two other breweries in Kanda. He told me that he usually gets the honjozo sake cold, but he uses junmai for the heated sake. This sake has no bitterness and the umami can be felt slowly, and it is a taste that sinks in. We had two bottles.
The biggest cold wave of the year is coming. It is very cold and snowing in Aichi Owari area. I'm sure it's cold 🥶.
I guess it's time to warm up some sake. Here's a warming party of Isobeki, a recommended heated sake from my hometown in Aichi. It's good at room temperature, but it's also good at room temperature.
It is good at room temperature, but really delicious warmed up. The warmth of the sake fills your mouth. The sake itself is not too assertive and complements winter meals. Delicious 😋😋😋😋😋

a gift from a friend
It's a Junmai Daiginjo, so soft, moist, elegant and sweet ☺️
I can't get enough of the softness ^ ^.
I want to taste every molecule of it 😋.
It's a great sake 🍶!
I bought this bottle at a local brewery open house.
12k from my house.I always jog there. I always jog there 🏃.
This is the first pressing of the year and is fresh and unpressurized.
Isun Heki is often thought of as a classical sake, but it is a soft and gentle sake brewery. 😋😋😋😋😋
Local sake from Aichi.
The sake shop was not open yet, so I got it at Mitsukoshi Hoshigaoka in person. 17% alcohol by volume.
Fruity but
It's fruity, but it's very rich. It's also good on the rocks.
Even for the same unfiltered sake, this one has a strong peculiar density and a strong presence on the palate. We strongly feel the difference in quality.
It is just so rich, and the umami flavor is brewed out of it. It has a strong throat and is very satisfying to drink, and seems to go well with many different kinds of meals.
