Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (1)
The day after Harukas, we had a tasting of Aizu Homare at the nearby Ikoma Sake Shop!
I didn't take notes, so I'm going to split this post into two parts because there were so many kinds of sake 😅.
I drank
Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Kitakata Yamadanishiki
I think they called it Utsukushima Yume Yeast.
It's pretty sweet and fresh tasting.
Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki
I think they said 1801 yeast.
Fruity and quite sweet.
Sold out when I was there.
Aizu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki from Banshu
It tastes like a richer version of Junmai Ginjo.
Kitakata Terroir Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu Yume no Kaori
Fire-brewed but raw and muscat-like
Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yume no Kaori
This is also fresh and sweet. I think it tastes similar to Karahashi. Yamadanishiki is the same, but the label is a bit similar too 🤔.
Aizu Homare Yamadanishiki and Yume no Aroma are available only at two stores, a sake store in Saitama and Ikoma Sake Shop, since they were just released.
