Tomita__Junko
I drove to Aizu along the Tadami Line, so I ran into Hiroki Sake Brewery in Aizu Sakashita 10 minutes before closing. I was hoping to buy some Tobiroki, but they were sold out. I expected to be able to buy Tobiroki, but it was sold out, and even at a special distributor where I could make a reservation, I had to wait six months at the earliest.
However, I was able to buy Izumikawa, which is only available locally! There were junmai and honjozo, but I like junmai, so I went for the junmai without hesitation!
It was heavy, but I carefully brought it home and opened the bottle right away! I prefer it lukewarm rather than room temperature. It has a lot of umami, but it's still refreshing. Delicious!
But I think it would be even better if there was a Tobiroki, and I feel a sense of superiority that I can only enjoy in my hometown. I'm waiting for it to be chilled, hoping it will taste even better when it's chilled!
