It was my first visit to a sake shop, and I wanted to buy a sake that could only be found here. Then I noticed a sake that is only available at four stores in Japan, and it was a kijozo-shu (a sake made with alcohol)! Everything was too chaotic, and I wanted to try this sake! What would it taste like? Let's go!
The aroma is surprisingly mild, with a freshness derived from the aluzoe flavor and a faint sweet aroma like that of murayuke. The slightly viscous sweet brewing water... Is this sake? This one brings a deep, rich sweetness like port wine. If I had to say more, I would say it is like Murayusuke, but a kijoshu with honjozo is really a sake that shatters the concept of kijoshu. The astringency and acidity pleasantly muffles the palate. This one is thicker than Shinmasa's Yonotori. However, by adjusting the aroma with aloso sake, the brewer has created a sake that is wonderfully easy to drink. I think raisins would be a good accompaniment. I will visit Fukuhara Sake Shop again! Thanks again for the food tonight!
Formosan sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana)

Shuho" gives the impression of sweetness.
Kame-no-o" in Yamahai. The acidity of Yamahai and the graininess and ripeness of Kame-no-o are balanced with the sweetness of Shuho.
It is refreshing, but also has a mild taste.
I purchased it at Motosakaya Sake Shop in Yamagata Prefecture.
According to online information, it is available at only 5 special stores in Japan.
It was a versatile sake that could be served with any snacks 😋.

The aroma is sweet and not too gorgeous😊The mouthfeel is light and the taste is also light and light. It is light on the palate and the taste is also light and light 🤔I can enjoy the light flavor of the rice and it has a nice sharpness so I am not tired of drinking it 😚👍✨.
Koi Omachi was one of Shuho's most refreshing 🥳.
