Itzumi Shuzo is a small brewery on Sado Island. I heard it is somewhat of a hot topic, so I was curious to purchase a bottle.
The taste is that of a moderately strong sake. It has a strong flavor of rice and a slightly melon-like fruity taste. The richness is stronger when drunk chilled. It tastes better when drunk slightly warmed, as the sweetness increases.
It is said to be delicious with sashimi. It has a strong umami taste of rice, so dishes with a soy sauce-like flavor may go well with it. It is surprisingly good with meat and potatoes.
I had a rare Sado sake that I used to drink a long time ago. It has been a long time since I drank it, but I wanted to see what it tasted like.
It tasted clear and slightly fruity when drunk cold, but it also had a strong and spicy taste.
The spiciness was even more pronounced when heated, so I would recommend drinking it cold or at room temperature.
It has a strong hit, so it would be good with deep fried foods such as tempura, or foods with strong flavors.

The fourth kind is the best!
This is also my first time to drink
Clear and crisp!
I guess it's a light, refreshing type?
Of course, I'm getting very drunk as usual.
The first two drinks are sweet, so the impression afterwards becomes refreshing 🤣.
Kawahagi no kimo with rice,
This was also delicious 😋.
Finally, another glass of sangen no tsuki (a treat even though it was expensive!)
Another fun and tasty drink 😄.
