Purchased at a sake shop.
It is a Shiga's Tadai no Akizake, which has never been seen even in Osaka, much less in Fukuoka.
It is very rare.
Drink it cold.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma.
Medium mouthfeel, neither heavy nor light.
It has a fresh taste typical of summer sake, but also has a calmness somewhat typical of autumn sake. Moderately mature taste.
The aftertaste was long at first, but as you drink it, the aftertaste becomes shorter and sharper.
We had it with fried horse mackerel and salad. It seems to go well with a variety of dishes as a food sake.
Suitable for intermediate to advanced drinkers of sake.

Ikegame is a local sake often seen in Fukuoka.
Outside of the prefecture, you may not see it so often.
The label with a goldfish, which is reminiscent of summer sake, is cute and makes you feel cool.
Serve it cold.
It has a fresh aroma like cucumber. Some people may have different tastes.
In the mouth, it has a crisp taste like a ginjo-shu, but gradually changes to a fuller, more complex flavor that is typical of junmai sake.
The aftertaste is slightly longer than normal.
At about 1,300 yen for 4 gou of sake, it is probably more cost-effective than other summer sakes.
Recommended for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
