A faint apple-like taste, maybe a little sour. The label is fantastic and nice. Commemorates my trip to Aomori. Rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆ Where to buy: Koyama Shoten (Tokyo) Price: 3,000 yen (excluding tax)

Hiroki Shuzo, the brewer of Tobiroki, distributes Izumikawa only in Fukushima Prefecture. Tobiroki is expensive because it is basically a raw sake with a premium price, but "Izumikawa" is a reasonably priced sake that has been fire-aged. I thought it was relatively dry right after opening the bottle, but after about a week, it became milder. It is a very high cost-per-serving sake. Place of purchase: Gonoi Sake Shop (Fukushima Prefecture) Price: 2,860 yen (tax included)

This sake is sold exclusively at the brewery store. It has a pleasant aroma with a hint of oak. There is a Braille-like pattern on the bottle. Is it "sake"?
