This sake is so clear and fresh that you would think you were drinking straight from the spring water of Mt. It has an excellent sharpness and a typical dry taste. The aroma is of rice. There is no sweetness, acidity, or bitterness, but there is a strong umami flavor.
Firmly dry. The clarity of the water and the soft umami of the rice. The sharpness is as expected. The aftertaste is mild. Hachitan Nishiki. Sukiyaki and
Founded in 1871 in Nigata-cho, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, surrounded by mountains and the sea.
The name "Houken" comes from the fact that Nigata-cho has long been Japan's largest producer of files, and there were many sword smiths in the area. The brewery uses "Houken Meisui" (famous water of Houken), which gushes out in the brewery, as its brewing water, and uses Hachitan-Nishiki rice produced in Hiroshima Prefecture as its main ingredient, to brew a food-friendly sake that goes well with all kinds of food.
Houken was introduced in Sake danchu.
Come to think of it, I had never had it before, so I tried this super dry one as a trial.
It is indeed dry, and the taste itself is on the lighter side.
However, it has a gentle fullness and a lingering aftertaste that seems to soak into the body.
It is a bottle that goes well with meals.
This is the dry sake that has left the greatest impression on my brain! It does not have a strong impact, but it has no peculiarities and may be my favorite of all dry sake. It has a soft mouthfeel, though I am not sure if "sharp" is the right word to describe it. It also has a slightly bitter taste. Although it is claimed to be super dry, the acidity is gentle! I bought it after reading about it in dancyu, and I am glad I did. É I like neutral to slightly sweet tastes, so it is not exactly in the middle of my strike zone, but it is a bottle that made me think it is delicious!
