From Ishii Shuzo in Satte City, Saitama Prefecture, comes the second of the two Toyoake sake, Toyoake Junmai Ginjo-Ginjo Genshu.
This is the gold medal winning sake of the 2023 IWC (International Wine Challenge) 🎖️
The IWC, held every year in London, is an award that has attracted a lot of attention since the SAKE category was established in 2007, with the winning sake gaining attention and gaining a foothold in the international market.
For the 2023 IWC, 1,601 brands were entered and 98 were awarded gold medals. 🎖️
The appearance is crystal with a golden hue.
When the temperature is low, the aroma is of spices with a sour koji aroma and a volatile feeling of alcohol typical of sake derived from nama sake.
As the temperature approaches room temperature, a sweet fruity ginjo aroma emerges.
The taste is mainly umami with a touch of acidity, and the acidity spreads and finishes with a slightly stimulating sensation that is typical of nama sake.
The lingering finish is medium with a light astringency on the tongue.
The IWC tasting comments were,
Lovely, elegant plum, melon, and citrus aromas on the nose with a hint of citrus on the upper nose. The finish is fresh and appetizing" (Aladdin translation).
It was a refreshing food wine: ☺️
Thanks for the treat 🍶.

Good morning, Aladdin🌞.
Ishii Sake Brewery is a brand I would like to try if I could come across it since I used to do YOUTUVE, but I have never seen it even in Tokyo. It's a sake like HANA-YOUVE 😘.

3KAN4ON, good morning 😄I unfortunately have never had Hana-yoso 😅Toyoake's version of this sake was in a different direction, so I can't say for sure, but the G East one was extremely tasty! The brewery still has some in stock, so please do! I'm sure you'll love it 🍶.
