The week after the holidays has been too hard on my body and mind 😂To relieve such fatigue, I bought a bottle of "Isojiman" which won the first prize in the Junmai category of this year's salmon competition 😍.
Isojiman is so rare in Hiroshima that you can't find it anywhere. I'm opening a bottle now 🍶.
The aroma is not that strong 🤔. I guess 🤔.
When poured into a glass, it tastes like fruity melon🍈 or pineapple🍈. Pineapple? A moderate aroma like pineapple 👌.
When you take a sip, the balance between umami and spiciness makes it a perfect food wine 🤔.
The spiciness in the first half and the sharpness of the aftertaste make it easy to match with any food. ⭕️
It's more like... you should drink it with food 😓.
I'm drinking it by itself, but it may taste a little like a square of sake.
It's just my personal opinion, but I prefer the special junmai from Ohbai that I had a while ago 😅.
By the way, that sake was excellent cosmetically (see previous reviews for details) ✨.
I like dry sake as well, but I'm still concerned about the cosiness... 😢.
If I were to drink it as a food sake...I would have to say Hakurakusei, Hokusetsu and Kamerei (just my personal opinion...).
However, I can't drink Isoboast very often, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow's taste change✨.
Day 2: 🗒️
No change in taste...it's a stable food sake 🤔.
Hmmm, no repeat for this one personally 😓.
Junmai and junmai ginjo sake won 1st and 7th place in 2025 sake competition
The sake was used for the toast at the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit? It is said to have been used as a toast at the Toyako Summit.
Slightly tasty and full-bodied
