The first Hoshiichi, R2BY, was drunk in a sake cup whose color was difficult to distinguish, but it was yellowish.
It has a clear and refreshing taste, which is hard to believe for a matured Yamahai sake. When I saw the specs, I thought it might be suitable for warming up, but I think it would be better at room temperature, where the moderate umami flavor would spread.

This is alcohol.
Slight aroma of rice, soft attack. Taste clear and dry, goes in quickly and has a dry aftertaste.
It's like scooping up a spring in the forest and finding sake.

Purchased at Nakamura Sake Shop in Mukomotomachi. It's about a 20-30 minute walk from Mukonosou Station. You need a bus or a car to get there. It's a liquor store in a shopping district that was built for a public housing project, but it seems to specialize in local sake.
They do have an Instagram, but they don't update it often, so it's better to check it out in person.
They seem to have chosen the brands they carry so that they don't compete with other stores nearby. Amanoato, Tenka, Gayama-ryu, Matsu no Kotobuki, Sasakazu, Sugi Nishiki, Shitaizumi, Hoshi Ichi, Kurouemon Jurokuyo, Hanagaki, Katano Sakura, Kazuhiro, Hyakurakumon, Hanaboe, Miyako Bijin, Banshu Ikken, Chushingura, Jukishin, Benten Musume, Taketsuru, Sanboshiku, Bunkajin, Harada, Asahi Kiku, etc. There may be more?
The aroma is melon-like. It has a strong alcoholic taste, but it is sweet and refreshing. In the second half, the alcohol and astringency converge. This is a unique type of flavor that you won't find anywhere else.

I thought it would be sweeter and easier to drink if I took it out of the fridge and let it sit for a while.

Harueichichi-san, good evening 🌃
The pop-up at the liquor store said "First time in Kansai! I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to a store that doesn't have a social networking service because you don't know the brand name 😅.
