This is the third bottle I am receiving to support Ishikawa Prefecture, albeit a small one.
For this sake, which I picked up at the Ishikawa antenna store in front of Tokyo Station that has been featured on TV a lot lately, 100 yen will be donated to Ishikawa Prefecture and 100 yen will be donated to the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association 😊.
I think I saw somewhere that it is recommended to be heated or room temperature, so I had it lukewarm to top warm 😎.
When poured, it has a slight yellow tinge.
The aroma is like sweet and spicy.
The acidity jumps in.
As I gulp it down, I get a spicy taste 😳 at the back of my throat.
When I regained my composure and took my time to taste it, the weak sweet and sourness was followed by an astringent taste, which was then followed by a savory taste that spread out and the savory taste left my nose 😁 with a lingering astringent taste in the center of my tongue 😏.
On the second day, the acidity became more assertive, and both the savory and sweet flavors became clearer.
The sweetness is like thin ice sugar. The astringency appears in the center of the tongue when drinking slowly, and in the back of the throat when drinking in gulps.
The assertion is still more pronounced than on the first day.
