drinking at home (as opposed to going out)
My daughter came home from a business trip here over the weekend.
so I opened this one 😄.
It was a little sweet but had a smooth finish.
I could go on and on 😆 I almost drank the whole bottle.
I almost drank the whole bottle, but I left some to enjoy the change.
I'd like to enjoy the change. ☺️
I bought tuna and squid at Kadokami Gyorui.
Next we will have a sparring sake from Izumibashi. This one seems to be made with red yeast and is a smaller 250ml 🍶.
The aroma is sour like yogurt. On the palate, there is a sweet and sour taste like acerola and berries, and it disappears leaving a firm gassy feeling. It is good to drink as an aperitif or dessert sake.
It is carbonated like a cider or champagne, so it would go well with antipasta dishes such as pintxos. Delicious✨
At a nearby bar.
Summer sake already? That's fast!
I used to drink the autumn dragonfly label,
The Yago label, before it became a dragonfly, is cute.
The taste is quite robust, spicy, and has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
It's refreshing.
home brewed, received
Mango yogurt aroma💜
I feel like I'm just about right for low alcohol due to my age and the season.
It goes well with fried asparagus with butter.
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.
