Izumikawa Daiginjo.
The last in the series of farewell gifts is the first Izumikawa. It is another brand of Hiroki Shuzo, which brews the well-known Tobiroki. A former colleague of mine from Fukushima bought this for me when he went back to his home country. We are very grateful!
We compared it with Tobiroki from the previous day.
The ginjo aroma is reminiscent of pear and muscat, and the mouthfeel is very smooth.
The mild sweetness, concentrated umami, beautiful acidity, and clear, uncluttered sake quality add to the crisp, clear taste. The balance of this sake is reminiscent of Tobiroki, but the umami is a little milder, giving the impression of being a versatile match.
