🐶
I went to Tanba Sasayama last month.
Autumn flavors everywhere!
Roasted chestnuts, sweet potato sweets, black bean bread, white azuki bean pudding, grilled tamba beef skewers, it's already great! 🐶.
Since I was there, I only had one bottle of sake.
It tastes like a thick oooooooo plum wine 😂.
Junmai Ginjo from Tanba Sasayama.
It has almost no top-fragrance aroma.
Unlike sake from Nada, which is also from Hyogo Prefecture, this sake is made with soft water from this region, so it has a very smooth texture in the mouth.
The flavor of the rice is brought out well and the taste is robust and enjoyable.
Thank you very much.
It is dry, as it is called "karakuchi", and a little dry for my taste.
Alcohol rushes through the nostrils, and the aroma of straw has not been present for a long time.
Houmai, after 9 years, a single bottle.
I happened to learn from the news that "the factory that used to make the bottles will stop making sake bottles at the end of 2022, so sales of this product will be discontinued as soon as the stock runs out", and I happened to be near Sasayama, so I went to the "Hororo-ai Jyokagura" to buy some.
It is a very clear, plain sake with a hint of alcohol. It has a slight sweetness and a slightly bitter aftertaste.
It is said to be a music vibration brewed by converting music into vibrations and brewing it while directly vibrating the yeast in the sake. I don't know how it works, but it tasted light and delicious.
Sake purchased at the HYOGO SAKE EXPO.
The rice is Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku.
I thought it was my first time drinking this sake, but I've already had a similar sake with a different label. It's a sweet, sour, and bitter sake. The sourness has a nutty taste to it. It has a character that other sakes don't have.
It doesn't feel as spicy as the +8 sake.
The aftertaste is spicy and the nutty feeling lingers in the mouth for a long time.
It is quite dry, but it has a unique charm.
I stopped by the supermarket on my way home from work and bought a local junmai ginjo nama-zake for the first time in a while.
For some reason, I rarely buy local sake because I don't like it, but it's very spicy.
I thought local sake was sweet, but....
Not bad.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023" ⑬
Homei Shuzo "Homei" ・Tanba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture
Founded in 1797.
Brewed with classical music and musical vibrations.
This is the second time I have had this sake, as I also drank it at the Japanese Sake Festival.
I was watching the BS program "A Journey to Meet Beautiful Japan" broadcast on 10/18 and was surprised to see Houmei Sake Brewery on the program😳.
I heard that they brew not only Mozart, but also Beethoven and Decansho Bushi.
Sasanodrop Daiginjo Hiyoroshi.
It has a sake-like feel and is well balanced, but still robust.
Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi (bottle warmed)
Mature but mellow.
Yume no Tobira Junmai Ginjo Mozart
It has a slight mature taste, perhaps because it was drunk after hiyaoroshi. The flavor is smooth and refreshing.
Homenari Kijoshu]
It has been aged for 3-4 years, so it has a strong old sake taste.
Marron de Kiss
It has a strong taste of marron and sweetpotato.
OURAN
The sweetness is moderate, and there is little black soybean taste.
Houmei also makes a good sake.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023⑥
This is the first Homenari I have had since I bought it at Yamaya about 4 years ago.
I tasted the following
Inakazake Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-genshu
Junmai Ginjyo Unfinished Nama-zake
Junmai Ginjo Hiyahoroshi
Kijoshu (noble brewed sake)
The Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Nama are both gassy and more modern than the labels suggest. The Junmai Ginjo is more acidic, which I prefer.
The hiyaoroshi is a hiyaoroshi version of the junmai ginjo nama-zake. It is the same sake but has a completely different atmosphere.
I was a little bothered by the smell of the kijoshu...
I bought the Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake, which made a good impression on me.
I forgot to try the sake with Mozart music 🎵.
Today my son and I drove to Sasayama.
We met up with an old friend who used to be in the rhythm section as a support musician with us, and it was a trip for three guys.
I am 200 million% biased, but a town with a sake brewery is a good town.
The first sip, hmmm? I thought it wasn't really to my liking, but as it approached room temperature, it gradually mellowed out.
Delicious.
This is my Another Sky!
