After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️

Sake purchased at the Icoma tasting All of them were delicious, but the reason why I bought them was that I couldn't seem to find them anywhere else. Yeast is Utsukushima dream yeast, Sake strength +3 It's fire-brewed, but it's fresh, sweet, fruity, and delicious! It seems a little hard, so I wonder if it would be better to let it sit for a few days. When I drink it again, it tastes like melon and it's really good. I thought it was rare to find this sake at Yodobashi😅.

EPISODE II is a sake made from "Yume no Kaori" produced in Kitakata and kept at 70% low-pasteurized. It has a mild aroma, a light fruity sweetness and acidity that reminds one of Riesling, a white wine! As the temperature approaches room temperature, the flavor of French Brie cheese also comes out. Great cost performance and delicious!

Sake strength +1.0 Alcohol content 16%. Acidity 1.4 Amino acidity 0.9 Yeast used: Kyokai 1801 Rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Banshu Polishing ratio 39 This is one of the bottles we purchased at the Homare Sake Brewery during our trip to Kitakata. The moment I put it in my mouth, I was amazed! Delicious! I love it! I was enraptured. The sourness appeared just before I swallowed it, as if following the tropical sweetness that spread across my mouth, and the bitterness was far away and disappeared quickly. It has a beautiful, calm and mature impression at the end of the bottle.

First impression is of a white Riesling, with acidity and pleasant bitterness reminiscent of Chablis. The nice and refreshing rice flavor is exquisite in ensemble with sweetness and acidity! Finito with a clear and crisp taste ^_^Cold sake is the basic, as the temperature rises, the sweetness increases, mellowness, and after the clear feeling of sake, it finishes cleanly. The taste of the strongest art of COSPA!

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (2) Continued from ①. We drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Gohyakumangoku The atmosphere is similar to what we have had so far, but a little spicier. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Fukunoka This one is also quite sweet and tasty. I've never seen this label before and thought it looked unusual. Aizu Homare Yozakura Junmai Ginjo This is said to be a spring sake. It has a classic flavor among the ones we drank this time. Classic but light! Lychee nigori sake The lychee flavor is in full bloom. I thought it would be hard to sell it because I think lychee is not to be liked or disliked. I like lychee myself 😘. Strawberry nigori sake I liked this one the best out of all the liqueurs. It's more strawberry than sake-like, and it's delicious! Chocolate Nigori It is very chocolatey, but it also has a strong alcoholic taste. I was so confused because there were so many sweet ones, but I bought the Fuku-no-Ka. I wondered if the brewer was from Fukushima, but it seems he is a resident of Tokyo. It seems that it was planned to coincide with an event at a department store in the Kansai region.

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (1) The day after Harukas, we had a tasting of Aizu Homare at the nearby Ikoma Sake Shop! I didn't take notes, so I'm going to split this post into two parts because there were so many kinds of sake 😅. I drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Kitakata Yamadanishiki I think they called it Utsukushima Yume Yeast. It's pretty sweet and fresh tasting. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki I think they said 1801 yeast. Fruity and quite sweet. Sold out when I was there. Aizu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki from Banshu It tastes like a richer version of Junmai Ginjo. Kitakata Terroir Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu Yume no Kaori Fire-brewed but raw and muscat-like Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yume no Kaori This is also fresh and sweet. I think it tastes similar to Karahashi. Yamadanishiki is the same, but the label is a bit similar too 🤔. Aizu Homare Yamadanishiki and Yume no Aroma are available only at two stores, a sake store in Saitama and Ikoma Sake Shop, since they were just released.
