Chokki
Gunma Izumi Ginjo Tamaroku
50% 15-16% brewing alcohol 720ml 1460yen
The name "Awamori" means "light green" in Japanese.
It is made with Gunma Wakamizu and made with Yamahai. It is light and dry and quite to my liking.
The Gunma Izumi is very good when heated. The koji taste is fuller and juicier.
This is the kind of sake that I like to drink slowly, slowly, slowly.
When the sake boom of Shinmasa and Ottersai started, an earnest-looking but slow-talking shopkeeper opened a store in the drinking district of Nakanobu Ebara, but he didn't stock trendy sake and sold only very reluctant sake like Gunma Izumi.
He soon went out of business.
If it existed now, I would go there a lot.
