The first sip of this sake has a refreshing fruitiness that continues to be delicious. An enjoyable sake.
A nice fruity Sake that has a mild peach flavor and a good level of umami. A fine Sake to drink on its own or with food.

A bit sweeter than I expected for a +3 Nihonshu-do but still has a tangy acidic finish.
As it warms, more umami and full flavor flavors come out.
Good, easy to drink sake. Paired well with unagi and also soft umeboshi

Iono Karakuchi Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Genshu
精米歩合 55% Seimaibuai
アルコール 17％ alcohol
日本酒度 +7 Nihonshudo
酸度 1.5 Acidity
Has a smooth Karakuchi flavor.
If the label didn’t tell me, I would never guess that it’s a Yamahai or Junmai or even a Genshu. This Iono avoids the extreme flavors from each of those categories
It DOES NOT have a chewy full flavor of a yamahai or Junmai. It does not have an overly sharp alcohol flavor like some Genshus
It’s very well balanced!
Delicious

A good companion with sushi and a leafy green salad.

Surprisingly it brings out a mild peppery flavor from olive oil that we happen to eat with it.
Chrisbrz
Oh! Really tasty with Royce chocolates!
Hmm, not so good with Coffee Beat.

Omg we finished the bottle already! I was supposed to last the rest of the week!

This is a perfect example of deliciousness. It has a slight uneasiness in the mouth, but it also has a stable feeling as it goes down the throat. Sourness, bitterness, umami, and a somewhat elegant taste. Tonight, I had it with sesame soba noodles.

This sake is so good that you don't have to choose the pairing. I guess you could say it brings out the best in food. I'll have it.
Sampled over two nights
Initial flavor is slightly bitter and medium dry. A tangy finish with a mild sweetness that coats your mouth.
Paired nicely with lemon butter salmon foil Yaki, pork & gyoja garlic but not as well with soft cheeses.

They have their “house labeled” Otaru Shimakage Junmai Ginjo Brewed by Kaganoi Shuzo In Nigata.

Tangy and fruity
Pairing with oyster brings out a flash of umami from the oyster that is then washed over with a wave of sweetness from the Sake.
Same with Nisshin tataki
The first bite reminds you of your old home, as if you are being told "welcome home". A sense of stability and security abounds. I had it with salted herring tataki.
