Izumikawa純米吟醸 ふな口本生
酔nosuke
Izumikawa's Funakuchi.
It is a slightly orizumi (orizumi is a slightly cloudy, raw sake), so the first thing to drink is the top clear liquid. The aroma is still young and melon-like, with a soft sweetness and a tangy, spicy bitterness. The balance of sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness gradually improves.
When mixed with ori, it becomes slightly cloudy. The spiciness subsides and the sweetness increases, creating a mellow mouthfeel that keeps you coming back for more.
It is a very fresh and delicious sake that can only be drunk at this time of the year.
