HonkinSmooth 生酒
massa
It smells like wine, and when I drank it, imagining it to be highly acidic, I found it to be "sweet" and easy to drink at a low alcohol content of 13 degrees.

HonkinSmooth! 純米生原酒
コタロー
I was scared to open the bottle, but it was perfectly fine and docile.
Aroma: sourness, sake lees, grapefruit?
When you drink it, it's not very lively, but there is a slight carbonation. It's deliciously schwashy.
The fresh sweetness and sourness are on the tongue, and as it rolls around, you can feel the light and rich flavor.
At the end, the bitterness comes in gradually.
A delicious, active nigori with a refreshing aftertaste that is perfect for drinking 🫧.
Even after a few days, when the fizz is gone, it is still crisp and cohesive. The supernatant alone is more acidic and has a clear, delicious aftertaste, but when mixed, it becomes silky and mellow.
I was happy to be able to drink it this year, although it seems that last year there was quite a small amount!

Good evening, Kotaro-san!
I've got a bottle of active nigori waiting in the fridge.
I haven't been able to open the bottle yet, but I think it's time to do so 😄.

@Mizuhashi, good evening 🌙
Oh✨I see that the drink you're drinking and the fridge standby have been covered 🤭.
It's getting hotter these days, so it might be tasty to open it now while the schwarziness hasn't disappeared 😆.

Hello, Kotaro 😃
Honkin-san! I remember my first drink was ridiculously delicious 😌 but I can't seem to find a second bottle 🥲.
I found out that there is a liquor store in Utsunomiya station building, so I hope to get it soon!

Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
It's a deliciously acidic, refreshing and ridiculously delicious 😆.
I hope you'll take this opportunity to find it in your area 😚 If you still have Junmai Ginjo Suwa unfiltered raw, it's delicious too, so please consider it if you like👍.

5 minutes to open the bottle.
Refreshing with a strong gassy sensation.
Aroma: banana? Pear? Fruity aroma.
Sweetness, acidity, and bitterness are well balanced.

Honkin雨上がりの空と 純米
GDB-E
The store owner attacked me and I was well on my way to buying it (I was forced into a full count and struck out).
It was recommended first and served at the end of the tasting and I caved.
I drink it room temperature, and it has a tingling tongue sensation with a bitter acidity. After that, it firmly asserts itself as a trendy, aromatic sake.
（When cooled (as was the case when I tasted it), the sweetness comes out and the sake goes down your throat easily.

Nakanori-san, there was only one bite, so this gold
It's rather similar to the Nakanori-san I just had.
This one is a little more refreshing and less sweet.
Yamae-nishiki is never a miss, so it's very tasty!
Not too clear, but good with a slight tangy flavor.
Delicious!

Active nigori is perfect for this hot season!
It is served with chilled chuka.
Made with Miyamanishiki produced in Suwa.
The aroma is fresh and citrusy
Taste like cream soda.
It is silky and has a strong shwashiness. Sweet and sour and very tasty.
It is surprisingly tangy afterwards and you will never get tired of drinking it. ✨️
The aroma of Miyamanishiki's Honkin is very satisfying.
