The first Isobojimai.
The gentle sweetness comes first, followed by a beautiful acidity and some bitterness, and then it finishes cleanly and neatly.
It is a light and dry sake, but the gentle sweetness covers the whole body from start to finish, and it is hard to believe that the sake is +5 to +7 on the sake scale 🤔🤔.
Prior to drinking this, I read "My Own Sake: The Work of Nobuo Tada, Touji of Nanbu" by Tomohiro Oikawa.
It was a very favorable book, centered on an interview with Mr. Tada, the toji of Isobojiman, and not too much or not enough written about his beliefs and the history of sake after the war.
I will probably read it again at some point.
