A special junmai of Zanso Horai using white malted rice.
Transparent with a slight yellow tint. When it is cold from the snow, you can hardly feel the scent of the top of the bottle.
In the mouth, the refreshing acidity from the white malted rice spreads easily with a fine bubbling sensation. It also has a slightly yogurt-like flavor. The lingering aroma is apple-like.
Ah, it has been a long time since I have tasted Zanzou. I've been drinking mostly Tokyo sake for a while now. If I have more chances to visit Tanzawa or Odawara, my fever for Kanagawa will be rekindled...
It has a good balance of umami, spiciness, and acidity, so it is the type that goes well with meals. It is a little too weak for the current season, but I think you will probably discover more of its charms if it is served lukewarm.
I think this is a good bottle to keep on hand.
Soft and classical sake aroma.
Clear and glossy texture despite being highly polished in the bottle.
Fresh aroma of young grapes,
The sweetness and umami are very voluptuous.
The spiciness comes through with a gusto. Sharp bitterness and a quick cut.
It goes well with simmered vegetables and shabu-shabu pork with bean sprouts.
Degree of liking ☆3.5/5
Nice to meet you series🍶This time it's Zanzou Hourai from Oyataka Shuzo🍎This subtitle has a lot of "O" in it🍎Don't have any preconceptions just because I said apple 🍶.
The top aroma is not so high citrus impression 💨, if you ask me which one it is, it's apple 🍎Without lees, it has sourness, sweetness and bitterness, which makes it a refreshing drink 😋, but I don't feel the acidity as much as the number 🤔With lees, the impression from the top aroma changed 😳It has sweet aroma and candy apples 🍬. The sweetness in the mouth also stands out and balances out the acidity☺️If you expect too much apple, you'll be disappointed, but it's definitely delicious💕Doesn't go well with sashimi, but went well with a little darker western food✨.
Good evening, Nao888😄.
Another rarity! The Kanagawa sake 🍶 naming brainwashes the apple🍎 ❣️ I wonder if that had the opposite effect 🤣This post made me think again that labels and naming are important ☺️
Good evening, Nao888!
I see the new warehouse series is coming along nicely 🎵
The naming is also interesting 😁.
I've never actually seen this brand before, but I get the impression that it's a bit dark, sweet and sour, but it seems easy to drink 😋.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 🌞I was totally pulled in by the naming 😅I put it in the sun and it got a little sweeter, so you might want to put it in the sun 🍎 They say looks determine taste 🤤.
Good morning, ma-ki-, 🌞I'm trying a little bit more ✨It's a delicious drink with a sweet and sour taste that is easy to drink, but it didn't exceed the impact of the naming 🤣.
Hi Nao888!
I have an image that Zanso Yomogina has a lot of Chinese character labels 🧐 but you have such a cute one 😊What about fruit labels? I know sometimes it's different from ⁉️ 😅
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛There are so many "o "s 🤣I didn't know which warehouse you were from when I first saw it 💦Everyone has their own way of perceiving fruity, so even if it's different, delicious is justice. ✨️

Zanko Hourai Junmai Ginjo Queeen Nama Shu
Low alcohol. Tastes like grated apple!
We visited two days in a row 😊.
Location: Naha City, Okinawa "Wakamatsu.
It is not that I have drunk many Zanso Horai and Shoryu Horai, but I like them very much. Among them, I especially like the dry green label. I could not forget the impression I had when I drank it before, and I kept it carefully for two years.
It's a pity that it doesn't have that rummy taste that I imagined when I drank it the last time! That's a shame!
The aroma is weak and there is not much sweetness. I personally think it is easy to drink, but I don't know why. Is it simply because I like dry sake, or is this umami flavor connected to its drinkability, or is it because it does not have that strange sake-like taste that is often associated with the negative image people have of dry sake...?
Personally, I like to drink it cold because it has too much harshness or the outline of the sake becomes too firm when it is at room temperature.
It goes well with Japanese-style noodles such as soba or somen, and I think it is even better when the flavor is not too strong.
