Izumihashi 2025 Limited Edition Tonbo Label Extra
Yamadanishiki Junmai-shu, yeast-less, pure rice sake, raw yeast yeast
This is Izumihashi's limited brewery opening sake!
Purchased at a slightly off-timing.
The aroma is moderate, with a hint of acidity and umami more intense than sweetness.
The sharpness is good, and there is an astringent taste at the end.
It is a good sake that makes you think about what you want to taste.
Polishing ratio 65%, alcohol content 13%, 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Kanagawa Prefecture
Low alcohol but full of umami. It has a sharp taste typical of Izumihashi.
Izumibashi summer yago today.
It is relatively well colored and white wine-like, with a slightly rummy flavor and a dry taste with little sweetness, but with a fullness that is typical of rice. I thought it was best to drink it well chilled, but it can be enjoyed at various temperatures.
(Added note: If it is cooled more thoroughly, the sweetness seems to increase, and it tastes even better).
13 is the alcohol content. It is said to be related to the number of times a dragonfly molts before becoming a dragonfly.
Refreshing sake aroma.
When you drink it, the refreshing acidity is accompanied by the umami of rice.
Crisp and mineral mouthfeel.
Slightly lime and herbal flavors.
Taste 3.5/5

drinking at home
This sake is made by buying new sake and letting it sit at home for the winter.
It still has the sparkle of new sake and is a refreshing and tasty food sake.
It is not the floral aroma type, but fits perfectly with recent tastes.
First, there is a pleasant sweetness on the tongue, followed by bitterness. It is a sake that goes well with meals, as there is no sourness and the overall taste is round.
I enjoyed it with leftover chicken and coleslaw salad.
