I finally got it!
Unlike the gorgeous fruity stuff we've been getting lately, this feels like a real classic sake!
It goes down smoothly, leaves a slight irritation in the throat, and is both light and full-bodied.
I can understand why many people say they like it better than Tobiroki!
I think I prefer Tobiroki.
I can't get it these days, and I've almost forgotten what it tastes like.
This one is also at an oden shop!
Funakuchi was drunk at the end of the year, so it is much less complicated than that lol.
It looked like it had been quite a while since the bottle was opened!
The sharpness or alcohol taste? It's too good to leave it, so I just split it with dashi soup stock.
I'll try the Funakuchi at home next time.
3.3/5
Not for sale in stores.
Beautiful dry taste.
A soft sweetness comes at first.
The dryness comes in a big thud on the tongue.
The aftertaste is slightly bitter.
When heated, it has a grain flavor.
Strong acidity! A strong sourness that hits the nose.
A bit of bitterness.
It is a bit bitter and lingers in the mouth for a long time.

Izumikawa's Funakuchi.
It is a slightly orizumi (orizumi is a slightly cloudy, raw sake), so the first thing to drink is the top clear liquid. The aroma is still young and melon-like, with a soft sweetness and a tangy, spicy bitterness. The balance of sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness gradually improves.
When mixed with ori, it becomes slightly cloudy. The spiciness subsides and the sweetness increases, creating a mellow mouthfeel that keeps you coming back for more.
It is a very fresh and delicious sake that can only be drunk at this time of the year.

Round sweetness. The sweetness is beautiful and delicious. The sweetness is followed by umami and then dryness. The aftertaste is dry. Freshness is also good. 86 points

Sorry for the same picture.
💦 on the menu screen as it is served in a tokkuri rather than brought in a bottle.
Izumigawa's Funakuchi is slightly more carbonated than Kasumi-shu and has a stronger and more profound flavor!
I wonder if there is more nigori in the Izumikawa...
I quite like Izumigawa's Daiginjo, but when comparing Kasumishu and Funakuchi, I prefer Kasumishu lol.
My senior who went drinking with me said he likes Funakuchi!
I'll open a bottle over New Year's and compare 💦.
