Izumikawa, another brand of Tobiroki: ‼️
Mainly distributed locally, but I got it for the first time 😊.
The aroma is fruity with a hint of acidity like an early harvest roadside melon 🍈.
The mouthfeel is smooth and light, with a pleasant dry sharpness that spreads quickly 😎.
Then the smooth umami spreads from the back, and it is also beautiful 🤤.
The slight bitterness in the aftertaste is accented by a lingering flavor 🤤.
Yum!
Store Drinking.
The handwriting on the label is masterful and cool 😎.
I envy people with good handwriting.
The color is slightly yellow. The color is a classic style.
The aroma is of rice 🌾.
The taste is sweet and tasty.
The taste is a bit like a peppermint.
There is a lingering astringent aftertaste.
Junmai-shu from ❗️ that plays on the umami of rice 🍶.
I got it at a ryokan in Inawashiro and loved it at first sight❤️
I got it safely at a liquor store in Aizuwakamatsu❗️
Hiroki Shuzo's Izumikawa
I had never heard of it.
Well, it's delicious ☺️
Once again I was reminded of the high level of sake in Fukushima: ‼️
Izumikawa Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire. The FUKU NO TORI Gathering is also an event where the manager tries to see what will happen if this sake is aged for a long time, so this Izumikawa has also been aged for about a year. It has become rounder, mellower, and calmer. However, in terms of change, it is not that much.
This was also purchased on a trip to Fukushima.
This is the first time I have had Junmai Ginjo from Izumikawa.
I was planning to buy this sake along with Yumeshin when I visited Fukushima. I was worried about whether or not I would be able to buy it, but I am glad I was able to do so.
When I drank it, the aroma was mild and I felt it was a little dry. It is smooth and well-balanced in flavor and good for eating.
It was delicious.
4.0 / 5.0
I prepared this sake for a client who comes to the Fukushima race because he is a sake lover.
Tobiroki is also delicious, but since it is from Fukushima, I thought Izumikawa would be the best choice.
Aruzoe Daiginjo is only released three times a year (March, July, and November), so the timing was perfect.
It is well-balanced, clear, and crisp. You can drink it like water.
It has a full-bodied flavor with a hint of rice sweetness.
An honorable type that can be drunk alone or with a glass of wine in the evening. You can drink it forever 😏.
Much delicious ❗
Update: May 13, 2024
This is the evaluation when the bottle has been open for about a month and the bottom of the bottle has been reached. It does not have the freshness of just after opening the bottle, but the taste has settled down and changed to a nice human body level.
We will drink it with yellowtail and yellowtail kama tonight.
