Purchased at Aizu Shurakukan Watanabe Sota Shoten.
After a trip to Aizu last fall, I was not in good health and had to abstain from drinking until February, so I kept this item in the refrigerator.
This is the first time I have tasted Toyokuni Shuzo's Ippou-self. Hizoku" means a shallow green color like the skin of celadon porcelain, and it was given the color name "Hizoku" because of its mysterious beauty.
The raw material rice is 100% Fukunoka produced in Fukushima Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 50%.
Alcohol content is 14 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, there is a pleasant popping sound, and the aroma is fresh. The aroma is fresh, but not too sweet.
Taking a sip, the mouthfeel is faintly sweet. The sweetness is quickly followed by a freshly flavored acidity that spreads across the palate. The acidity is fresh, but it is not outstanding.
The acidity also finishes cleanly, leaving a slight astringency as a lingering aftertaste.
This astringency brings together the flavor structure, which can be lacking in some cases.
This is the first time I've had Ippo Ichi, and my impression is that it is easy to drink and can be enjoyed over and over again without getting tired.
The flavor is not gorgeous, but calm and reserved, making it easy to drink.
