bouken
After the tasting of Taga, I was given a bottle of Isobeki, which the store owner bought for drinking at home but brought to the store since I don't drink much at home.
I thought I was drinking it for the first time, but I had already bought it 3 years ago😅.
The review I had read said it was sweet and tasty like grapes, but the sweetness was subdued and the umami was strong and dark.
It tastes like it's from the Heki era.
I think the reason I couldn't taste the sweetness was because Taga's sake is generally sweet 🤔.
I was also given a sample of Kibotsuru Shiboritate. It was Sagabiyori until last year, but the rice seems to have changed this year.
I didn't notice a big difference in taste, but it's the first time I've heard of this newly developed rice and I plan to buy it later 😁.
