I opened a bottle of "Aki-agari" from "Houken" that I had been curious about.
The mouthfeel is clean and goes down the throat easily. It is gentle and has a strong umami flavor. It gives the impression of a food sake that is versatile enough to be matched with autumn flavors.
As the hot weather gradually calms down, you can enjoy the pleasure of autumn sake. Delicious: ❗️
A very good autumn sake as a food sake! The astringency and acidity, including bitterness, give it a nice crispness. It also has a refreshing coolness. After that, the umami taste spreads, though not strongly. The flavor increases as the temperature approaches room temperature. It is as if the umami has been added to Houken, which is easy to drink without getting tired of it, and the depth has been added to it.
It wasn't great when we opened it, but it was consistently delicious.
It's also freshly-packaged, so it's the hiyaoroshi of our house.
Houken is not sweet, but delicious!
I love that sake like this is winning awards.
Purchased at a liquor store in Tokyo Station.
I chose a sake from Hiroshima Prefecture, which I had never tasted before.
It has a slightly fruity flavor, but the sweetness disappears quickly and easily without leaving a sweet taste in the mouth.
I don't like fruity sake, but this one has just the right amount of sweetness!
Personal Satisfaction:★★★★*
