Natsu
Iwashimizu MARS 2023. 50% koji rice.
Stable enough to understand why it is often picked up for drinking alone.
The fresh fruity sweetness that is typical of Iwashimizu rises up in a straightforward manner, and the mouthfeel is smooth. The sweetness alone does not push it over the edge, but the clear acidity and slight bitterness that appears in the middle of the bottle keeps the whole structure tight and does not let you down as you continue drinking.
The balance between gorgeousness, transparency, and drinkability is very good, and while it can be enjoyed without hesitation, it is a bottle that gives a strong sense of the Iwashimizu character.
