Sake in Saitama Prefecture, Igarashi. I am a big fan of Saitama Prefecture's sake. I especially like the fizziness of this Igarashi.
This Igarashi has a fizzy and muscat-like fruity taste that does not betray. The bitterness that can be felt is exactly like muscat.
It is a very nice sake with good cost performance. Thank you.
A friend recommended it to me as delicious, so I bought it thinking I had been tricked into buying it.
It is a Junmai-shu unfiltered, raw, direct-drafted, lemon-colored, vividly labeled Junmai-shu.
When I opened it, I heard a nice sound! A nice sound. The acidity and alcohol taste come first, then the umami of the rice and the thickness of the rice. I guess it is dry.
Yes, I rather like it.
A four-pack for 1,650 yen at Nippori-Yamauchiya is a bargain!

Igarashi jungin nikkumi.
It has a beautiful ginjo aroma that is relatively mild and milky. Slightly gassy and smoothly spreading acidity gives it a sweet and umami taste.
The sweetness is soft and restrained, and the overall balance is good, with a gentle hint of fragrance.
The sharpness is relatively good, and the acidity and bitterness are also slightly bitter.
Like the last time, it also feels like the type that opens when the bottle is opened.
Good evening, KazKaz 😃.
I drank Igarashi at an event in Saitama and was surprised to find that it was sweet and delicious despite its hardcore name😳I have since certified it as a hidden good sake😄.
Although thought to be refreshing, this is quite peculiar and surprising. It has a slightly hiney feel to it. It has umami and acidity. Is it because it is a pure sake? Rice polishing ratio 65%, alcohol content 17%.
I had a dinner at Kazu, a country house about 5 minutes walk from Kamifukuoka station in Fujimino-shi, Saitama, which I saw in Rui Yoshida's bar wanderings. I am glad that I can walk there from my house!
The first drink was Igarashi from Igarashi Sake Brewery in Hanno City, my hometown in Saitama Prefecture. Fruity and beautiful sake. I heard that Matsuzaki has started to carry it, so I want to buy some next time.
An authentic and beautiful sake.
Light sweetness and acidity, well-balanced without any cloying taste, high level of satisfaction.
Goes well with food.
Igarashi, the pride of Saitama: ‼️
The mouthfeel is from a piquant freshness,
The deep and voluminous umami of the sake's traditional sake yeast yeast is a nice touch 🤤.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the taste is very satisfying,
The taste is very satisfying at the moment you put it in your mouth, but the aftertaste is refreshing 🧐.
The pleasant bitterness that lingers afterwards is a wonderful design. ‼️
This is one you won't be able to stop drinking: ‼️ delicious 😋😋😋😋.
This summer sake was purchased at Echigoya in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture!
It tasted sweet yet refreshing, just like summer sake, and I couldn't stop drinking more. ✨️
