A faint apple-like taste, maybe a little sour.
The label is fantastic and nice.
Commemorates my trip to Aomori.

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"?
It is fresh and juice-like.
It has alcohol in it, so you will get drunk.
It seems to be available only in Niigata Prefecture.
Purchase price: 2,667 yen (excluding tax) 1.8L
