On a trip to Hiroshima, I chose something that is not often seen outside of the prefecture for drinking at home.
The brewery is located in the basement of a building in the city and is run by a single brewer and toji (master brewer), so the production is small and precious. The sake is made from Hiroshima rice and water.
I have never had any other Horaizuru sake, so I cannot compare it to this one, but it is fruity and easy to drink.
In Hiroshima, the destination of my trip.
Following lunch, the restaurant I was looking for was full and I couldn't get in at night 🫢.
The restaurant I had guessed at was full every time 😭.
But I found a very nice sake bar 🍸✨.
Before this, I stopped by Yamatoya, a sake shop, and bought some Hiroshima sake, but they recommended a sake that they make originally from Yamatoya that they said was fruity, so I gave it a try.
Lately, a lot of liquor stores are making original sake, but as expected, they are making delicious and easy to drink for everyone. ❗️
This one also has a soft sweet aroma 🐽 when you put your mouth to the glass.
It was fresh and fresh and easy to drink.
Yup, delicious✨
Daiginjo-shu made from "Senbon-Nishiki" sake rice from Hiroshima, a famous sake brewing area.
It is light and light on the palate, and the word "pleasant" fits it perfectly, but be careful not to drink too much, as the alcohol content is high at 17%.
The last of the Hiroshima local sake to be consumed is Horaizuru, brewed in the center of Hiroshima.
It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma.
On the other hand, the taste is light and refreshing.
It is a sake with no peculiarities that can be paired with any food while enjoying its fragrance.
It is a winter favorite, and we enjoyed it with oden.
This Horaizuru is made in Hakushima, Hiroshima City, where I used to live.
It is a special sake that is not sold on the market.
It was very tasty and everyone who drank it loved it!
Meeting drinks on the road.
I bought it on the way back from a visit to Itsukushima Shrine. They fill the bottles from the tank at the shop. What an exciting way to do it ❤️It was my kind of sake, a little sweet but with a sourness and a swooshiness.
I found Houraizuru's sake "Kanade" to be the best at the izakaya I visited for dinner last night. I didn't realize yesterday that the sake I was buying at the Haramoto store was from Horai Tsuru.
This trip to Hiroshima showed me that Horaitsu sake is my favorite.
I wonder which local sake I'll find next.
