Tanzan drinking comparison. Next is Shuho. The three photos were taken at Yoneju.
Warmed up to 60°C, it has a firm flavor and sharpness without any peculiarities. It softens a bit with air and shows some sweetness, but it does not have the bitter chocolate flavor of Reiho, so it does not seem to be a good match for any meal.
Personally, I prefer Shuho and keep it on hand at home for warming.
Tanzan comparison. First, Reiho.
At room temperature, it was sharp but not very smooth and not very drinkable.
At 60°C (60°F) warmed, it has a core of umami with a soft bitter-chocolate sweetness, but it also has the elegance of 60% polished rice. At 70℃, the temperature is too high.
As a heavyweight sake lover, I have always wanted to try this brand.
I had no idea it was available at a liquor store directly connected to Osaka Station. I had to make a detour.
It was easy to drink. Shuho is an introductory series, right?
It smells like a rugged, hard sake with a moderate flavor.
A little less is just right. The bottle was warmed up from room temperature, and the 4-gou bottle was emptied in one day.
