tomy
On a trip to Sado, I stopped by a warehouse. I was completely unfamiliar with the brewery, so I changed into sandals and bought the products in what looked like a corner of the office. I wondered if it was a small place in Sado, but when I looked at the shelves, I found "Itaru". There is a "Itaru" store in my prefecture, and I have bought it before. So this is where they make it.
Itsuki is a modern sake, but I bought it because it seemed to be the main product of Maryo.
The aroma smelled like sake, which is typical of Japanese sake. There is no bitterness, but rather a sweetness or a richness from the rice, and this tendency seems to intensify when the sake is warmed up a little. It's not modern, but it's also not the watery, characterless, and unrefined smell that is sometimes found in junmai level local sake. It has a thicker feel. It's orthodox, but I could drink it, even though I don't usually drink that type of sake.
1590 including tax.
