First time for Isobojiman. Purchased at Tokyo Station Hasegawa Sake Shop. It is light and dry. The moment it enters the mouth, there is a slight spiciness, followed by a slight bitterness. No fruity aroma. The mild umami of rice spreads from there. The umami is strong. However, the aftertaste is short and sharp at the end. A manly sake. I was surprised because I thought Isobojiman was a fruity and mellow type of sake. It was delicious, but I felt a slight alcohol taste consistently, and it didn't have a clear feeling in the mouth. I did not like the taste in this area. So, it's not that famous brands are universally tasty. For the same price, I would definitely prefer Katsuyama Sen.
