Purchased at a liquor store.
Ikegame is a local sake often seen in Fukuoka.
Outside of the prefecture, you may not see it so often.
The label with a goldfish, which is reminiscent of summer sake, is cute and makes you feel cool.
Serve it cold.
It has a fresh aroma like cucumber. Some people may have different tastes.
In the mouth, it has a crisp taste like a ginjo-shu, but gradually changes to a fuller, more complex flavor that is typical of junmai sake.
The aftertaste is slightly longer than normal.
At about 1,300 yen for 4 gou of sake, it is probably more cost-effective than other summer sakes.
Recommended for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
