Isojiman大吟醸純米

柴田 直人This was given to me as a gift for my labor by a senior at work. Originally, it was a thank-you for sending him some local ramen, but it was obviously of a different rank (laughs). As for the taste, it has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, as one would expect from Isozumo. I also like the aftertaste and the aroma that leaves the nose. I am going to share it with the people at work who are indebted to me, but since it is so delicious, I think I will reduce the amount I can share (sweat).

柴田 直人Bought it because it was cheap at the supermarket. Maybe it's because it's old, but it gives the impression of water with a sourness that is unique to sake. I guess it would have a different impression if I drank it earlier in the season, but at the moment, I prefer the original sake (laugh).

柴田 直人I bought this at a local supermarket because it was also at a discount. To be honest, I thought it would be better to enjoy Hakkaisan honestly.... After all, Suzune is the best (laugh).

柴田 直人I bought this again at a supermarket because it was on sale at a discount. Since the brewery is close to my current address, I was curious and decided immediately! It started with a sour smell, and the mouthfeel was a bit harsh. I wonder if it is because it has been bottled for a long time. I wonder if this is called dry... (laugh)

柴田 直人For some reason, it was cheaper at the supermarket, so I bought it. The sashimi was also cheap, so I bought it as well. It tasted the same as usual, but it had been too long since I had had it. I wondered if the taste was getting worse since it was cheaper...

柴田 直人At a friend's house The original production date was 2014, but the impression I got from drinking it was perfectly fine. The taste was mellow and easy to drink.

柴田 直人Sake Brewery Evaluation Taste→Refreshing Aroma→Mellow Aroma→Mellow I still don't know about the aroma (sweat). The taste is refreshing, but I can taste the sweetness and umami of the rice, which I like the most. It is not a bad match with the "Ate", but I think I would rather drink it by itself.

柴田 直人Sake Brewery Evaluation Taste→Clear Aroma→Fruity Aroma→Fruity The third bottle for comparison I honestly don't know about the aroma. The taste is close to the image I have of junmai sake. It tastes more robust than refreshing (lol). I wonder if my sense of taste and smell are different...

柴田 直人Sake Brewery Evaluation Taste→Mellow Aroma→Fresh Mild flavor and refreshing aroma. Second bottle for comparison I couldn't tell the aroma from the first bottle, but the taste was more rice-like than before, and it seemed to assert its sake character. I think it would go well with the sashimi.

柴田 直人Sake Brewery Evaluation Taste→Elegant Aroma→Mild The brewery's evaluation was "gentle". The first bottle for comparison The aroma is not so great, but the taste is very rich (I wonder if this expression is possible for sake). The best match is short-sightedly for sashimi, but as the description says, it is not a choice of dish (although I said above that it is rich...).

柴田 直人The initial aroma is normal, the mouthfeel is dry with a sweet rice taste, and the aroma at the end of the drink is good. It is easy to drink, but you can taste it well.

柴田 直人I bought it at a discount price at my local Max Valu. For me, Suzune was the start of foam sake, and it was a drink that changed my sense of value in a good way. In my opinion, it's a good combination of the goodness of sake and the drinkability of beer and other carbonated drinks.
