This is delicious 🤤.
It's the most affordable sake I've had since going Junmai-shu-only with a base of North Sea.
But it's usually delicious, cosy, and I'm totally fine with paying a little more for it, and if it's there, I'll ask for it.

This is my second submission for this brand.
It's well balanced and still delicious ❗️
They were at an event at Hanshin Department Store, so I went out of my way to buy some 😊.
We purchased this sake at a liquor store as the summer sake lineup was on sale!
The store staff recommended this junmai daiginjo as a good value for 1900 yen.
The aroma is mild, but in the mouth it has a gorgeous rice flavor, and the acidity and bitterness give it a sharp, habitual taste.
The other day, I was hoping to get a bottle of HONAMI because it was so good, and I found this one at Otsuki Sake Shop. Hokuyo, the main brand of Uozu Shuzo, the brewer of Hohanami. It's a miraculous encounter.
In addition to the softness of the water, which is characteristic of Toyama, it has a pleasant acidity and sweetness of rice. It has something in common with Honami. It has a profound taste, so the cups are also overlapping.
According to Otsuki Sake Brewery, Uozu Shuzo donated an extraordinary amount of money at the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. And this time, they are donating to the Noto Peninsula earthquake. They are now selling this sake to repay the kindness they received at the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Both the brewer and the sake store are amazing.
I feel the connection between people.
Toyama food tour in spring without using any Hokuriku Ouenwari (tearful) 🌸 Following Toyama city and Toga village, the third day was in Uozu. The fifth one is Sushi Daimon, which is the most famous restaurant in Uozu 🍶.
The last sake at Daimon was a Daimon limited edition sake from Hokuyo. Junmai Daiginjo Fukuro-hari. It has a gorgeous aroma and a flavorful taste without any clutter. This is delicious. I have a feeling that it is sold on the market, but I wonder what is different about the Daimon limited edition ❓I should have asked 😆.
It is clear with yellowish tints and has aromas of soy sauce, cooked rice, Japanese pear, honeysuckle, and the sea. The attack is rather strong, with mild acidity, moderate sweetness, and a rather long finish.
