A new type of sake with a cocoa-like sweetness from one year of aging, but still fizzy.
Japanese>English
ポンちゃん
The third brewery was Sake Nunoya Honkin Brewery.
A mother and her son explained to us in detail about sake!
Including this sake!
Junmai-shu (junmai-shu) with the sky after the rain
Jungin Suwa
Junmai Yamae-Nishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu, juicy sweetness and acidity, my favorite ❣️
I went back to the hotel and asked my husband what was the best sake of the day, and he said it was this sake.
I bought it at Shinanoya, a local sake shop (4th picture)
100% Miyamanishiki produced in Suwa, Nagano
Rice polishing ratio 59
Alcohol 14%.
Pitchy, this is already a white wine!
It is a full-bodied sweet white wine.
It is juicy and easy to drink with a good aftertaste.
It's a taste you want to gobble up 🎶.
The second day, the taste is all together and I liked it the best. ❣️
Day 3, half white wine and half sake!
5th day, sake predominant!

Ponchan Hello ☀️
Thank you for visiting the five Suwa breweries!

I missed the Suwa Gokura tour. It's interesting that the tastings are different. smooth! had a good reputation and I was curious about it, but I couldn't taste or buy it so I'm jealous 😅.

Hi shinsaku3 🐦.
When I was wondering what to drink, the owner of the brewery suggested that if we split it between us, we could drink it all 😆 but my husband said he would drink what he wanted to drink 🤣.
Please share with Pekho and enjoy 😊.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your time here 😊.

Good evening, Pon-chan 🐶.
When I toured five breweries last year, the most delicious one was Honkin's.
Ah, it reminds me of that. I was so exhausted from the heat and the half-full exposure to sake!
It's paradise 😂.

This year, I went to Shimosuwa-machi in Nagano Prefecture for a family vacation, or rather to visit a grave during Golden Week. As I was driving, I came across a mysterious area with a row of sake breweries, including Masumi and a few others! And among them was Honkin! I have not been able to drink much of it because there are not many stores that carry it, but it is one of the breweries that I have been secretly promoting. I had no choice but to buy it, so I stopped by in a hurry!
I'll leave the inside of the brewery for the review of the other bottle, but here is the tasting.
The aroma is more grapey than muscat. The aroma is like that of a sweet fresh wine, with a hint of alcohol and sweetness.
In fact, the sweetness is only gently perceptible along with the grape aroma. It is not too much, so it goes well with food. The acidity is also felt a little, perhaps because of the wine-like quality. However, the umami is strong and it is a true sake! It is delicious!
On the first day, it was similar to Eikun's Murasaki, but on the second day, it was a bit drier and went better with food. I eat nabe all year round, and it goes well with nabe!
I heard that the rice is drier this year because it's harder to dissolve, and that was my favorite flavor I've had in recent years. It's a little plain but too delicious to be super impressive!

I have a negative balance for the day in mahjong. Shocking. I guess I'm not good with powerful people.
And then, the main money. It was the first time for me to drink at home.
It's a light nigori.
It's a refreshing juice. You don't feel any alcohol. I drank it gulp gulp gulp gulp.
I was prepared for it because I heard that last year's was sour, but it wasn't. It was delicious.

I did minus my first entry of the season that day too 😞.

ルテルテミ
This sake was purchased in Kamisuwa.
It is a summer sake of honkin made with white malted rice.
It is a refreshing sake with soft acidity and umami flavor. The bottle was opened on ........
When I went shopping at Izumisano Fish Market in the evening because I wanted to eat hamo (pike conger), I bought a hamo (Japanese conger) and they gave me 12 freshly caught hamo (Japanese conger) for free.
I had never bought hamo before, so I tried boiling them, but there were so many small bones that it was difficult to eat them.
I marinated the rest in vinegar and after two days the taste had settled down and the bones had softened, I chose the honkin, which would go well with sushi or fillets.
It was delicious with a clean aftertaste.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 59
Rice: Miyamanishiki produced in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture

I've certainly never seen it sold in department stores or supermarkets near me. It took me a long time to get a good taste 😅 but I would like to try again 🤨.

Hello Luteltemi 😃.
Konoshiro! I remember in my hometown we used to eat it as sashimi without worrying about the small bones 😅.
It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned that it tastes better when it's vinegared without worrying about the small bones 😌.
Looks like it would go well with honkin gold 🤤.

Fresh konoshiro sashimi must be delicious 😊I was able to eat all of it after I finished it with vinegar. It was a good experience with sake 😄🐟.

It came after the rain! Made in Suwa, Miyamanishiki, 15 degrees. I don't like summer sake, but this is great. It is an umazake to match the summer with its acidity. The changes every year are also a delight. This year's is a little more nourishing. What should I match it with?
Japanese>English
ゆーへー
The umami of the rice can be felt well, and the bitterness and acidity come and go at the same time.
There was also a standard junmai sake on tap, so I compared it with Biseong ✨.
Is it fire-aged?
The freshness is a little less and the umami in this one is more robust.
Still, it was easy to drink because of the use of Hitogokochi, which makes it smooth and easy to drink👍.

Honkin 😊 which has become my favorite.
I also bought this sake on a trip to Nagano last month ❗️
It is a summer sake brewed with white malted rice ❗️
It smells a bit like muscat!
The acidity of the white malted rice and the clearness of Miyamanishiki make it easy to drink.
It is easy to drink.
The bitterness was strong until about the second day after opening the bottle.
But after that, it calmed down and became just right. ‼️
The sweetness is not that strong.
I think it is easy to match with various meals 🤔.

It starts with a clear and refreshing citrus aroma and sweetness, then fades out with a gentle aftertaste after enjoying a light umami. It is not flashy, but it is a sake you will want to drink again.

This is a cup of sake from Honkin. I tried it lukewarm.

We paired it with Shinshu soba noodles and simmered carp.
