The third sake of the day is also from Kanagawa. This sake is very strong, so I drank it with an inokuchi (cup).
It has a rich, mellow, sweet taste.
A rich and thick texture on the tongue
Aroma of rice with increased umami.
It has a sweetness with a caramelized taste, but the acidity comes quickly.
There is almost no sharpness in the aftertaste, and it is very cloying.
Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol 16%.
Sake meter -5, acidity 3.1
100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Niigata Prefecture
Unusual for Oya? It is a very rich and umami-guchi type.
It is a so-called "kijozo-shu," a type of sake in which sake is used instead of water in the final stage of the three-stage brewing process, which makes the umami taste thicker.
I think it would be delicious with carbonated water!
First, a sense of gas.
Next, a clean sweetness.
I have always been curious about this Kanagawa sake, but I have not been able to buy it.
Kanagawa does not have an image of sake, but Zanzo-Hourai is delicious. It is easy to drink.
It's a local, Kanagawa Prefecture sake 😊I've had it at izakaya, but this is the first time I've welcomed it to my home for drinking ✌.
We had a bottle of Zanzou Hourai Junmai Ginjo Queen, a delicious ♥Hi-ire Hara-sake.
The aroma on the nose is a mild ginjo aroma.
In the mouth, it has an apple-like aroma and a moderate sweetness that fills the mouth, followed by a slight astringency and a lingering finish.
Yes, it is delicious!
The standing aroma is weak, but the aroma expands in the mouth and the moderate sweetness makes it a good mid-meal sake 😊.
Maybe I should drink some more of the local prefectural sake...
Good morning, enoshima 😃
Zanso Hourai! I'd like to try it, but I haven't come across it at a liquor store yet 🥲I'll look for it next time I'm in Tokyo 🤔.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
I often see it in liquor stores in Kanagawa Prefecture, but I don't see it in other parts of Japan.
Well, in Kanagawa Prefecture, we don't have that famous sake 😢I envy Northern Kanto and Tohoku 😊.
I was attracted by the name "Oringo Please".
It certainly has an apple flavor!
It tastes clean and fruity, like something a woman would like!
The label on the back is cute too🍎🍎🍎.
On a holiday, drinking at home from noon. It's been a long time since I've had a drink from Kanagawa.
I bought this one after tasting some at a liquor store.
It was a delicious bottle with apple-like fruity juiciness and gassy taste. 🙆♂️
Zancho Hourai (photo left) drunk at Odawara Kamaboko Dori Vitalization Council [Autumn Sake Ajiwai Tour - Junmai Sake from all 13 breweries]. The details of the sake are unknown. It is delicious with a sweet and sour taste that is typical of Zancho.
3.55 Among all the sparkling sake I've had so far, I think this might be my favorite. Refreshing acidity with a subtle apple aroma (no apple in it). It has a hint of apple aroma (there is no apple in it) and a refreshing acidity. It might be good to drink it with a glass of champagne at a café where girls like to drink.
Sometimes, I think about drinking a local Kanagawa sake because I have to. This time, it was Zanso Hourai. I thought I'd buy a bottle of Zanzou Hourai, but I saw Shoryu Hourai next to it at the liquor store, so I suddenly decided to buy both to compare them 🧐 and bought it.
First, Zanzo-Hourai Hiyoshi Oroshi.
It's a light and dry type?
It's refreshing, with a slight bitterness.
The refreshing taste is more noticeable when the sake is cold, and you can taste the rice flavor more when it is at room temperature.
But in any case, "refreshing" is the most fitting word!
Basically, Zanzou Horai is a fast brewer, while Shoryu Horai is a sake brewer.
Next, let's go to Shoryu Horai!
Extreme personal preference ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4.1/5
I live in Kanagawa and would like to contribute to Kanagawa sake 😂.
Sweet and sour tasty!
apricot type
It's like a mix of plum wine and apricot.
The aftertaste is nice and sour, it's like something, but I can't remember what it is.
I like it, though it may be a food choice.
Please give me an apple from Zanso Hourai. It smells like apples mixed with a little yogurt. It is delicious with a sweet and sour taste. But this time it tastes more like yogurt than apple. But I am glad it tastes so good.
