Timeline
パーム農家This is the brewer's secret sake draft that I purchased on Thanksgiving Day at Ishikawa Brewery. The hi-ire was drunk sloppily during the Thanksgiving Day and I didn't keep a record of it.
Yogurt-like sour aroma. The rich sweetness fills the mouth. The mouthfeel is also a bit mellow, and when swallowed, it leaves a lingering aftertaste with astringency. I think the impression was similar to that of the fire-aged one. パーム農家Today is Ishikawa Brewery's Appreciation Day. The Kumagawa Ichiban of Taman Pride that we will be having there. Oops, this has the aroma of old sake. I would call it a yellow sake aroma...
The taste is like an old-fashioned junmai sake, but it has a sweetness that reminds me of honey. It has a very tasty sake-like flavor. It is even more delicious since we have recently had a series of sake with a lighter sake flavor. パーム農家Hot Junmai from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C purchased online from Ishikawa Brewery's direct sales outlet, Sake Sera.
Snow in Tokyo tonight. It's so cold that there's a light dusting of snow on the roof. On a day like this, I think it's time to heat up some sake. I drink sake every day for one reason or another.
The aroma of rice with a hint of sourness. Oh? I thought it would be sweeter, but it's a very refreshing junmai. The umami of the rice is well expressed. The sweetness and sourness spread gradually. This is a very relaxing and soothing experience. パーム農家Junmai Daiginjo Tama no Kei from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C purchased online from Ishikawa Sake Brewery's direct sales outlet, Sake Sera.
Hmmm, what is the aroma? I got the impression that there was a refreshing blue aroma like bamboo or bamboo grass mixed with a rice aroma that was different from a fruity aroma. The taste is also delicious, with a refreshing coolness like green bamboo and a firm astringency. After a while after swallowing, there is a faint...but definite sweetness that makes you think, ah, there was a little sweetness.
It takes my breath away...delicious...and happy. パーム農家Mature Yamahai Junmai Harusake from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C purchased online from Sake Sera, a direct sales outlet of Ishikawa Sake Brewery.
Sour aroma, typical of a yeast from the traditional sake brewing process. Wow, the flavor is well kneaded. The acidity of the Yamahai has been removed by letting it mature, and it is delicious. There is no sweetness, so it must have been quite dry in the first place. Maybe the sweetness is closed because it was made cold...
No, no, the Ishikawa brewery's set is really very satisfying. I drink too much.
My wife's face was drawn when she saw the six bottles of sake that arrived the day before we visited the brewery for their monthly appreciation day, but I'm really glad we bought them. パーム農家Yaegiku from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C purchased online from Ishikawa Sake Brewery's direct sales outlet, Sake Sera.
This is a reissue by Ishikawa Brewery of a brand that used to be made at another brewery, and is brewed with food rice.
It has a nice yellow color. The aroma is of rice. It has a complex flavor, which is a good thing because it is made from rice that has been polished at a low rice polishing rate. It is not a beautiful sake, but it is an attractive and delicious sake. パーム農家Mura from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C, purchased online from Sake Sera, a direct sales outlet of Ishikawa Sake Brewery.
Mellow aroma like whiskey with a hint of sweetness. It has a rich, mushroom-like overtone. The taste also has a Western-style sake feel, with a rich flavor and a mellow mushroom-like flavor. The color of the bottle made me think it would be lighter, but I was pleasantly surprised by its rich, umami, and robust flavor. パーム農家A standard unfiltered Junmai from the Winter Sake Fukufuku Set C purchased online from Sake Sera, a direct sales outlet of Ishikawa Sake Brewery.
This junmai sake has a clean rice aroma with a well-defined sweetness and umami. It is not fruity or glamorous, but it is a delicious sake for everyday wear that can be enjoyed unpretentiously. パーム農家Tarusake" purchased at Ishikawa Brewery's Appreciation Day.
It has a nice aroma of whiskey-like barrels. Well...it has a nice cedar aroma and flavor. The peppery, spicy flavor is addictive. It may not be pure sake, but I think Tarusake is a very interesting aspect of Japanese sake culture. パーム農家Today, February 22, is Ishikawa Shuzo's Appreciation Day. The Junmai Daiginjo Sasanigori Kei to be served there. It has a fruity melon-like aroma. The fresh and refreshing acidity is delicious. A bit of a tangy taste. Tamanjumo is the best sake to drink outdoors with a sprinkling of snow. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
