It has a rich, mellow, sweet taste with a thick mouthfeel. The standing aroma is of koji mold and a slight vanilla nuance. As with freshly squeezed sake, it also has a fresh and chili pepper flavor. To be honest, I am not a fan of sake that is only sweet, and would like to see a balance achieved by adding acidity, bitterness, and sharpness, but this sake, with its 20% alcohol content, seems to have achieved that balance through the strength of its alcohol. It has a peculiar taste, and I don't dislike it. It was just the right size for home drinking, as I felt that a four-pack bottle size would be a bit tiring to drink. ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️+⭐️ Purchased at Ide Sake Brewery.

There is little or no top notes. The clear, flavorless taste, combined with the refreshing mouthfeel, was personally enjoyable, but there may be those who find it insufficient or too thin. It is good to drink it cold, but I think it is better to drink it slowly and enjoy the aroma that spreads on the palate after drinking it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Ide Sake Brewery. The name Horohoro reminds me of the Yumemakura Vague's Onmyoji, where Seimei and Hiromasa were drinking Horohoro sake while feeling the seasons at the wet edge.

The nose has a slightly refreshing green apple-like aroma. When you drink it, you can feel the round rice flavor and complexity, while the lingering aftertaste is crisp and clean. Is it a rich, dry sake? I didn't detect much of a grain smell, and it was a very satisfying sake for a freshly stored sake. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Ureshino Onsen Ryokan on a trip to Kyushu and drank it to completion on the trip.
