The third drink outside is Honkin😆. Dry Taichi Clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness. It was perfect as a sake for a meal with a nice sharp taste.

Honkin Normal Sake Yellow Label 1,800ml Alcohol added sake, koji rice 60%, kake rice 70%. This was purchased when we tasted it at the brewery last November. After six months had passed, the umami flavor seemed to have taken over. I think it was more smooth when it was first shipped. It was stored in a hallway with a refrigerator pan, so we will enjoy it before it gets too hot. I think I like it better when it returns to room temperature than when it is cold.

As the name suggests, it is characterized by its clear acidity. From the moment you put it in your mouth to the last lingering taste, it has a beautiful sourness and freshness, and the sweetness does not interfere with the taste, which is very delicious. You can't go wrong with any of Nagano's sakes, so you can't help but want to buy it.

I chose Honkin from the Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, a sake I had never tried before, which I was taken to the Saito Sake Shop when I visited the Nasu area. The production date was 0707. The rice used is 100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture. Rice polishing ratio is 55%. Alcohol level is 16 degrees Celsius Heated in a bottle Sake strength is +3 with a slightly dry taste and a clean finish. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gentle and calm, with citrusy tones like lime and tangerine, and a slight floral coolness. After a while, the sweetness of steamed rice, typical of Omachi, wafts softly through the air. When poured into the sake cup, it has a very light golden color and is light and refreshing. When you take a sip, you will feel a soft sweetness with a calm mouthfeel. The richness and fullness of Omachi's typical umami spreads out gradually. It has a good balance between a grain-like puffiness and a hint of sweetness, and the lingering aftertaste of calm acidity and bitterness makes it a perfect food sake.

I love Honkin Junmai sake. I first drank it in 2023 and became a fan! However, last year and this year it seems to be a bit sweeter than then (maybe because it has lost most of its gassiness?). As for the aroma, the melon-like aroma has diminished, and there is a slight mirin-like aroma, or a little bit of the normal sake-like aroma that you can find in supermarkets. Still, the characteristics are still there, so I continue to drink it. I am new to sake, so I would like to hear an explanation from someone who knows more about it!

Thank you for participating in the kurabiraki 🙏1️⃣ 9️⃣ We receive 3-4 bottles every month, including one recommended by Miyajima Sake Shop, which is sent with the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, and one more if there are any other recommendations. The one that caught everyone's eye was Honkin's Yumeshinano from the Shinshu brewing tank😇. I often get Honkin at the store I frequent in Osaka, but this sake was very special, both in terms of the label and the taste 😇.

The Yasube family's brewery opening party⑳⑳ The other Nagano sake we will drink is Honkin no Nama-shu. The other Nagano sake that we will drink is Honkin's "Yume-Shinano", which is made from rice cultivated with reduced agricultural chemicals and unfiltered raw sake. It is fruity, sweet and juicy. Beautiful throughout. According to the internet, Shinshu Sour Hot Tank is a limited edition sake available at only three liquor stores in Nagano Prefecture. I think this might be my favorite of all the Honkin I've had so far.

The YASUBAE family's wine cellar opening party (19⑲) I know it's a little late, but I'm posting the photos in the order I took them, so the order may be different from the actual drinking order 🙄. The intercom rang while everyone was drunk and excited! The first thing to do is to take a look at the photos of the two of you. We open a bottle of the just-arrived sakes ♥♥. Honkin Limited Hanpukai Sake😻 The rice polishing ratio is undisclosed and edible rice, Yumeshina, is used. It was made last December and shipped this August, so it's a freshly ripened sake! I've had it a few times since I had Honkin Omachi, but I wasn't really into it and stayed away from it, but this one is sweet and juicy and I thought it was delicious after drinking Honkin for the first time in a while 😅.

Good morning, bouken! It's too funny that you receive your sake in real time during the offline meeting, and you open it immediately 🤣 it's also a "brewing heat tank" ✨️ I had ordered it myself, so this review makes me excited to open it 🥰.

Good evening, Mr. Gyves. I was surprised when I heard the ding-dong and thought, "Did you get the sake? I was surprised to see "Miyajima" written on the cardboard 🤣I see you are in the hanpukai 😁. I was surprised to see Miyajima on the cardboard 🤣I see you're on the hanpukai 😁😁 This is really good so please look forward to it🤗.

Honkin Shinshu Souze Tank 2025, reduced pesticide cultivated rice, Yumeshinano, unfiltered, raw, undiluted sake. Shinshu Sake Heat Tank 2025, presented by Honkin, winner of the grand prize of the 2023 Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai, is made from Yumeshinano, an edible rice born in Nagano Prefecture. It has an upfront aroma of pear and muscat, and a pleasantly chili sensation in the back of the throat. The soft mouthfeel, refreshing sweetness, and full-bodied flavor fill the mouth and color the extended aftertaste.
