Honjozo Unfiltered Nama Sake 2021 vintage
Dry, slightly strong aroma (floral), slightly strong attack, crisp, sharp, slightly thick, clear bitterness, somewhat simple, still a good balance, mellow sake even for a fresh sake
ABV.19 Ihyakumangoku
The color is a cloudy, muddy yellow. This seems to be the color of freshly squeezed sake. It seems that the color can be described as "freshly pressed" as it is.
The aroma is not strong, but there is a hint of ginjo aroma. Is it apple-like?
This is the second bottle from Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory, and all of them have a soft taste with no hint of alcohol. This spring Shiboritate has a bitterness in the aftertaste, which is strange. I have never felt bitterness in sake so much.
On a recent trip to Kobe,
I bought it at Daimaru.
Fruity aroma,
Light taste with a fruity aroma,
Aftertaste is very sharp.
But the alcohol content is high.
In short, be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️
Very sweet and delicious! It is incredibly sweet both at room temperature and warmed up! But it's not bad! It's delicious!
The recent trend for good chilled sake tastes the same no matter which way you drink it, but the warmer types with a strong sake quality are interesting because you can enjoy a wide range of flavors!
Sake for warming up
