It's been a long time since I've had an evening drink. p
When I drank it before, I didn't think it was very tasty with a sticky sweet taste, but this Honjozo has a clean and refreshing taste without any peculiarities.
It is a moderately tasty sake. p
It is named after a waterfall in the local town of Yoshioka.
It is a spicy sake with an astringent taste. You can feel the richness and umami in the back of your throat.
It is a sake with a lot of umami.
Don't worry, I'm equipped with a "plastic cup" when I go on a trip, so I don't need a cup.
My wife's parents' home.
After visiting the grave, we picked up this evening's sake at a nearby supermarket
Polishing ratio 60%, 19% alcohol
Mild nutty aroma.
The taste is very strong, with a slight sourness and bitterness. There is a slight sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste, which gives it a nice sharpness.

It is one of the fun of every year to develop a new spring Maikaze series 😌.
This year, following "Yu" will come "Funao Taki"!
When opened and poured, it has a crisp aroma of lime and mint.
The mouthfeel is rounded with a full-bodied sweet and sour taste. It tastes young and mild, like a banana that still has a green tinge!
The sweetness without any spines or habits is Maikaze's typical taste. I can feel how well it goes with not only refreshing sake, but also moist sake ✨.
The astringency of the aftertaste creates a melon taste and tightens the sweetness, so it is gentle yet elegant 👍.
The next bottle will be the last in the Maikaze series that we have acquired this year.
The summer of Gunma sake is finally approaching..!
After a few drinks, it was quite late, so I headed home while eating a golden dharma bento commemorating the 140th anniversary of Takasaki Station.
I will close my Gunma trip with "Akagisan" and "Funao Taki"!
Sweet and sugary aroma like sugar.
The taste is smooth and silky, and while it has a Gunma sake-like quality, it tastes more like a sweet sake derived from brewer's alcohol.
There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a perfect match for ekiben (boxed lunches), with its unobtrusiveness, slight sweetness, and crispness!
