If you come on a trip to Shizuoka, today, February 23, happens to be the day of Mt. Fuji 🗻.
Fuji, which was beautifully visible from the morning ✨.
We got our evening drinks at a local liquor store. On a day like this, I thought I might buy a high spec of Isoboast. I was a little bit enthusiastic, but they only had a super high spec sake that cost over 10,000 yen for a 4-ounce bottle, so I gave up...
But then, there was a very tempting freshly brewed sake on the bottom shelf! I hesitated for about 10 seconds before buying it and opened the bottle at the hotel.
I had the impression that Isobojiman was clean and refreshing, but this one had a gorgeous aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth and mineral, with a moderate sweetness. The middle part of the bottle has a strong umami flavor, but it is rounded and not cloying, and it also contains sweetness here.
Despite the alcohol content of 16-17%, the wine was not tiring to drink, nor did it have a harsh alcoholic taste, and it was enjoyable to continue drinking.
My first Isobojiman draft sake was even better than I expected when I bought it😊It was such a nice sake that I even dared to come to Shizuoka at this time of the year to buy it, even if it is cold!
