I went to Tokushima City via Awaji Island to celebrate the day before my wife's birthday.
Since we came here at an opportune moment, we had a chance to try Tokushima's local sake.
I have been drinking only junmai sake recently, but this is the first honjozo sake I have had in a long time.
It has a sweet and delicious taste with a slight aftertaste.
Fried scallops were served with it.
Good evening, soumacho.
Happy birthday eve to your wife 🎉.
I used to get Yoshimizu about 10 years ago at a local sushi restaurant 🍣.
I remember it went well with the meal 🎵
Enjoy Kochi tomorrow 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-.
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
I have not had much luck with Tokushima sake,
The full swing and clean aftertaste of Hosui was new to me personally.
I've only recently become swamped with sake, so I feel like I'm missing out 😵.
I drank a local Tokushima sake, Hosui!
It has a clear, clean, slightly melon-like taste, with a great balance of acidity, sweetness, and flavor, and is extremely delicious!
It's no surprise, but I was surprised that the taste was completely different from the honjozo sake my grandfather often drank!
First time writing from outside only
Late summer vacation in Tokushima
Ginjo aroma is not so long
Soft and dry
Refreshing and soft
As for snacks, fried food, sashimi, yubiki (boiled fish)...
It goes well with any kind of food.
A perfect sake for a mid-meal drink without being overbearing.
8 points (wife: 8 points)
Alcohol content : 18.5
Sake meter : 5.3
Acidity: 1.7
Amino Acid : 0.9
Rice Polishing Ratio : 60

Shu when opened
Almost no gas
Slight banana and melon-like top notes
The same subdued aroma, gentle sweetness and firm rice flavor spreads with a crisp acidity, and the wine finishes with a moderate bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness.
It is not too spicy for its alcohol content and goes well with a meal or on its own.
It goes well with cornbread and bean bread from Biei Seisenkatsu.

The second cup is Hangsui Tokujun.
This one has a slightly old-fashioned taste.
It may be dry, but the taste is not refreshing, but rather full-bodied.
The mountain cuisine is too good to be matched with sake!
This is a refreshing "summer-oriented" Houmizu. The aftertaste is as refreshing as ever, but the initial feeling of alcohol on the palate is much less, which is good on a hot day. Wishing for the success of the Awaodori Festival starting today.
When you first sip it, you may think the alcohol taste is strong for a moment, but then it clears up and the aftertaste is refreshing. Nice aftertaste. I like it again.
