These are 3 different sake that I brought back to my hometown, Atlanta, Georgia from Tokyo. They are Iwanoii, from Chiba Prefecture (my favorite sake), Chitosetsuru, from Sapporo in Hokkaido, and Yamasenmasamune from Shimane Prefecture. All 3 sakes have their own unique characteristics and I will attempt to explain the different flavors or each brew.
To start with, Iwanoii has soft fruity impact with hints of vanila and cream soda, but ever so slight. Not nearly as sweet as the real thing. Next, Chitosetsuru is a rather dry sake with a pear or parsimon like flavor. Lastly, Yamasen masamune is a high impact sake with considerable body, due to its higher alcohol content. The sake contains hints of apple juce in it's flavor profile.
Nice first blog. What about the furoshiki in the background of the last to pictures. You forgot to mention that they came with the bottle of Chitosetsuru (千歳tsuru)
