Green label of Zanso Hourai. The aroma is almost imperceptible. Yes, yes, it is spicy. Firmly spicy. The faint glimmer of sweetness in the attack is also good. It is like a sake version of green gum. It's like taking a forest bath.
Recently, I have come to like the expression "dry" or "spicy" more and more. I interpret this to mean that it is not pungent. I think it means "dry" in a relative sense to sake with a strong sweet taste. Isn't it a wonderful and very Japanese expression when you think about it that way?
Good evening.
This is so delicious and I love it!
And I agree with the expressions "green gum" and "forest bathing", I love it!
I totally agree with you about the poetic expression of "dry" in sake!
Good morning, palm farmer 😃.
Drinking forest bath🌳this must be a refreshing bottle 😌.
I like to drink dry and refreshing after a long day of strong flavor 😋It's good to have a good balance 🤗.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. It was an attractive sake with a clear, refreshing dry taste with a hint of junmai-like umami and sweetness that made it hard to find the right moment to stop.
A little bit of two or three different kinds to keep the balance is ideal 😌.
Smilax china (species of sarsaparilla)
Refreshingly light and dry food sake with sourness and bitterness
The name "Zaruso" comes from the local name of the brewery, "Koaza Zaruso" (小字残草). The name "Zanzou" comes from "Koaza Zanzou," the local name for the small area where the brewery is located, and the prestigious "Yomogi" was added to it.
I was reading an article a little while ago.
The price of processed rice will be raised this fall and the price of rice may double. Agriculture is not going to do well even if a company like Uniqlo does it, and even now it is very hard when the sake drinking population continues to decline. I was wondering if the sake industry is becoming more and more like a domaine, or if they will decide to call even imported rice sake. Speaking of Kanagawa, Izumihashi is now a domaine, isn't it?
