Today I bought a bottle at Sake-no-Osaka-ya the other day!
Houken Junmai-shu Retro by Houken Shuzo!
The aroma is mild.
The taste is made from Hachitan-Nishiki.
The first taste is sweet and the second is clear.
It is delicious!
In fact, the most popular brand recently is Glorious Regent's. I heard that they use local rice, but I wonder if it's the water that makes it so special. I feel a sense of depth and sophistication in this beer. It's so good!
Sharp and smooth entry. There is acidity.
The dry rice flavor is followed by a supple and firm umami.
The texture is light for a hoken.
It has a moderate bitterness and is sharp and clean.
It is beautiful and deliciously spicy.
Taste 3.5/5
A souvenir for my return trip to my parents' home. Since all I had was sweet sake, I got a bottle of the Junmai-shu super-harsh sake from Hoho that was featured in dancyu! It goes well with meals! Although it is super dry, it also has a moderate sweetness that makes it very tasty!
