At Masuhan, Koriyama City
I never thought I would be able to drink Asahitaka in Fukushima!
Attack is normal, sweet,
Maybe a little melon-like.
Sourness is a little, but bitterness spreads later.
Takagi Shuzo's Honjozo is very good!
I would like to have it again if I have a chance!
I didn't expect to be able to drink it in Kanagawa Prefecture, where I couldn't even drink it in Yamagata Prefecture...I should drink it in my hometown! But since I couldn't drink it even in Yamagata, it's a good thing.
Now, the first taste...
It has a fresh aroma like freshly pressed sake, and a slightly sweet and fresh mouthfeel. While it is clear, the umami of the rice spreads slowly and fades away with a sharp aftertaste. It has a sense of stability that blends easily into the meal, and is a true masterpiece.
Well, I must visit Yamagata again. ❗️
Dr. Jay & Nobby It was a liquor store that had Asahi Taka🦅 in stock, but they said they only get it in once a month. Well, it was in Zao Onsen. Also, they dumped me at the airport 😭I think there are some places in the city where you can buy it.
This is one that is rarely seen in Hokkaido.
The aroma is milder than that of Jyushiyo, and it is immediately apparent that the freshness will be enjoyed from now on.
The taste does not betray our expectations, and we can easily and honestly say "delicious" with a slight sweetness and fullness reminiscent of melon or muscat. What is a honjozo sake?
Asahi Hawk is a sake that I have always hoped to eventually drink. I had been bracing myself so as not to be seduced by expectations and information, but the sake was so delicious that I felt I should have expected more. I want to drink it every day.
