Slightly effervescent.
The sweet aroma is followed by the soft sweetness of rice.
But then, the alcohol hits you hard.
It's sharp and very drinkable.
I should have bought a bigger bottle.
Delicious!
Transparent acidity.
Clear sweetness.
The umami of rice also comes later.
The alcohol taste that goes through the nose is pleasant because it is a pure sake.
It has a good sharpness.
When served on the rocks, the lingering sweetness can be easily felt, which is also delicious.
Purchased directly from the sake brewery.
A sake brewery in summer surrounded by rice paddies.
It fits the scenery perfectly.
Very satisfying.
This was my second time 2️⃣
It's a pretty powerful drink 🍶.
a great source of information

Izumibashi Summer Yago sparkling🫧.
Slightly effervescent and light. Very easy to drink.
I'm going to try a non-foamed Izumihashi next time and see what kind of characteristics it has.
Practicing integrated sake brewing from rice cultivation, rice milling, to brewing in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Yago, the child of dragonflies, grows up in the rice fields in summer. The message of healthy farming that nurtures such yago is wonderful.
Izumihashi Junmai sake that goes well with meat. I bought it at Super Lopia because it was 2022 and cheap. It has a strong yellowish color and high acidity but it was delicious with the fatty taste of meat ✨.
