Tsunagu Ishikawa no Sake" is a sake for the victims of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake and the affected breweries. Nineteen brands are participating in the event under the auspices of the Ishikawa Federation of Sake Brewers' Associations.
Coincidentally, this was my first Tetorigawa.
According to the introduction by the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association, "Tetorigawa is characterized by its fresh aroma, elegant sweetness, and the three-dimensionality and freshness of the original sake. This is exactly what we found when we actually drank it.
This is exactly what we found when we actually tried it. The aroma is fruity and gorgeous, just like a daiginjo. The aroma is refreshing, like that of muscat.
In the mouth, it has an elegant sweetness, but it is not heavy, and it cuts through easily. Although the texture is a little thick, as is typical of the original sake, the refreshing aroma and sharpness make it go down the throat smoothly. It is sweet, but rather than being juicy due to its acidity, it is a type that lets you taste the umami of the rice.
This bottle sparked my interest in Yoshida Shuzoten's other sake and other Ishikawa sake as well.
Just thinking about which one to try next will keep me busy for a while.
