I was going to drink at a hotel at night in Nagoya.
I bought it at Nagoya Takashimaya but missed drinking it and took it home.
We had it with eel from Mikawa.
The first time I drank Hoshi-Izumi, it had a sweet aroma and a strong citrus flavor in the mouth. It finishes refreshingly with a touch of umami and bitterness.
I felt less citrus flavor when paired with eel.
Hi Luteltemi 😃.
It's good to drink local sake on the trip, but it's also good to bring it back as a souvenir and drink it while remembering 🤗I guess I preferred to drink it and then finish with eel 😁.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby😄.
We had to cut short our plans to go home due to bad weather, so we also took home some eel, but it was delicious. But we had a lot of fun memories 😆.
With yuzu nabe from Kaldi's.
It is very tasty with the unique flavor of rice in the raw sake. However, it is sad that there will be no next one because the person who made this sake was taken over by another sake brewery.
Today is the year-end party with my friends from junior high school.
We all had a bottle of Hoshizumi's new sake.
Fresh, a little tangy, and delicious!
At a store in Sakae, I told them what I wanted...for some reason they recommended a very local sake and I bought it.
This is... delicious 😋.
Fruity, shwashy 😋.
Delicious.

Hoshi-izumi, I drank it for the first time.
It is unfiltered raw sake.
Super, super fruity! It's beyond fruity, like an apple or a pear.
I fell in love with this sake when I drank it at a corner bar in the summer and bought it. I chose this sake because I wanted to drink something tasty.

Recent series of small bottles.
The aroma is clean. Smooth and juicy, with a gentle sweetness and umami that permeates the palate. The latter half disappears neatly with a slight bitterness.
