I don't often buy sake from Hiroshima...
But I was encouraged to try it and bought it!
It's made with that Sake Mirai!
I have the impression that Houken is dry and has little umami, but I was surprised to see how much the taste changes when the rice is different.
Fruity, but with a sharpness that is typical of Houken.
It was good during a meal!
I thought I would drink it after a while to see if the taste changes.

It was the last order, and we chose the last drink to be consumed slowly over the next 30 minutes.
◉寳剱 Junmai-shu with a retro label
The retro label is a straight forward and very striking one. The refreshing mouthfeel is followed by a pleasantly complex taste that spreads with a bitter acidity and umami flavor. The three-dimensionality of the flavor is a delight to the palate.
I was quite drunk, but I think I was able to finish the last glass with a deep sake.
I drank a lot and got drunk a lot throughout the day 🙏.
It's getting colder these days, but here is Houken's autumn harvest. The orange label is probably just my imagination, but I bought it on my way home from a business trip and stopped by Inamaya in Ginza to pick it up. I stopped by Imameya in Ginza on my way home from a business trip and got it.
Even after the fall season, the fascinating world of Houken is still there, and the freshness and richness are added. Delicious....
Woohoo! I just noticed that I can now choose the app, even if I'm far away from the place of purchase! Great! Thank you developer ✨
I don't choose this alcohol because it was given to me.
Houken from Hiroshima!
Junmai sake with a retro label.
On the sake lid, the words "Ippodo irumon" are written.
Based on the standard junmai sake, it is a blend of "Junmai Ginjo Hachitan Nishiki" and "Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki".
Sweet and fruity, like a yellow peach,
Slightly tart and smooth.
Rich sweetness and soft umami,
The acidity and a bit of astringent bitterness linger on the palate, leaving a somewhat gentle aftertaste.
and disappears leaving a slightly gentle aftertaste,
It is a delicious sake.
Delicious!
It's also delicious warmed up!
This is also very good heated!
