This is the fourth bottle I am receiving to support Ishikawa Prefecture, albeit in a small way. This sake was also picked up at the Ishikawa antenna store in front of Tokyo Station, where 100 yen will be donated to Ishikawa Prefecture and 100 yen to the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association 😊. When poured, it has a yellowish color. Like a pale gold! I'll take it 😉. The acidity jumps in first. Then the astringency, umami, and sweetness appear, and in the second half, the spiciness and sweetness dance 😊. A simple way to describe it is that there is a slight sweetness to the slight carbonation and the rice flavor appears at the end 😋. After opening the bottle, work gets busy and after five days or so, the sweetness increases and the astringent bitterness overlaps, followed by the freshness that makes it enjoyable. As the temperature settles down, the sweetness becomes sweet and spicy 😉. The color has deepened too 😎.
