しんたろ
This is my first Tamagawa, my first Ice Breaker, and my first Kyoto sake. When served on the rocks, the aroma is refreshing, like rumney, with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of sugar cane. In the mouth, a cool citrus acidity spreads, and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. The sharpness of the wine is well suited to the light flavor of long pickled vegetables and kamaboko (fish cake), and when paired with duck meat, a soft sweetness rises up, creating an interesting transition. This is a bottle that can be fully enjoyed on the rocks for its coolness and lightness. When drunk straight, the umami of the rice spreads and the taste is completely different. A very interesting sake. I felt the reason why Tamagawa is said to have the best taste at different temperatures.
Ice Breaker was developed by the current head brewer, Philip Harper.
