Itaru越淡麗 純米吟醸 生原酒
Joker
I'll make love to a small sake brewery on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture.
This time we will be drinking Itsuki Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo 😊.
Itsumi Shuzo also has another brand called Shinryo, which is made with local rice and water 🌾.
Let's get started 🍶.
Quite a gorgeous, fruity aroma ✨.
The mouthfeel is soft, with a delicious rice flavor and a mellow richness 😋.
It has a strong alcohol taste on the back palate as is typical of Niigata sake, but it doesn't linger and has a nice sharpness ♬.
It's a little high in alcohol content at 17%, but the crispness makes it easy to drink 😋 It's a little on the dry side, but it's still quite tasty✨.
By the way, right after opening the bottle, I felt the alcohol taste was rather strong, but after a few days, the taste became more coherent 🍶.
