まーさん
A rare sake sold only once a year. It's so precious that it's been hard to open. I finally opened it as a reward for myself. While you can feel the deliciousness of the rice It has an elegant and mellow sweetness. The sake rice is "Yumesansui" which is grown by our company. The rice polishing ratio is polished to 30%. It is expensive, but I want to buy it again this year.

An autumn-only sake that has been aged for more than half a year in its raw state. It has a rich sweetness and a mild mouthfeel. It is recommended to be served cold, and is easy to pair with meals. The alcohol content is slightly high at 17ºC.

Junmai Daiginjo aged for 3 years at low temperature. It has a mild sweetness of rice. It has a deep taste. It is a high-class sake as expected. At first glance, the label looks cute. The label is drawn by the calligrapher Fukuse Gakki. The text is Heike Monogatari. This is also tasteful.

I was invited to dinner in Mikawa Anjo, which turned out to be a local sake festival in Aichi. The first one was Houraisen Kuu. I was told that there were only a few stores in my hometown that stocked this sake, so I gave it a try! It is fragrant and fruity. It is easy to drink. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malted rice (domestic) Rice used: Koji rice: Yamadanishiki (Polishing ratio 40%) Kake rice : Yamadanishiki (Polishing ratio 40%) Alcohol percentage : 15

Although it is described as a medium-bodied sake, it has a rather mellow image. It is a classic sake, but it also has a sweetness to it. I drank it with hiya, but personally, I would chill it in the refrigerator and use it as a food sake.

Sekiya Brewery: 2009 Old Sake of Horaisen's Valuable Sake "Sora A treasured sake that has been kept for 10 years while retaining the quality of Daiginjo, Sekiya Brewery's signature product, "Houraisen Sora". It is a beautiful amber color with a pale gold shimmer, which has been slowly matured in low temperature storage. The charm of old sake is its unique aroma called "aged aroma", smoky depth, caramel-like sweetness, and moderate acidity, which is also delicious. I was happy to have encountered it. We finished with takikomi-gohan (rice cooked in an earthenware pot). At Koji MARUTANI in Nagoya

Sekiya Shuzo Horaiizumi Junmai Daiginjo Kuu Nama-nihanzake A hidden sake not even listed in the brewery's lineup. Made from 40% polished Yamadanishiki rice. The premier sake of Houraizumi, "Junmai Daiginjo Sora" is bottled in its unblended state before aging, making it a rare gem. From the refreshing mouthfeel, sweetness and umami fill the mouth, and the fruity aftertaste lingers and ends with a squeaky clean finish. It is a miracle that I was able to drink it 😁.

I arrived in Tahara City early because I have to work in Tahara City from tomorrow. I went to Tahara City early, wandered around the area, and bought a one-cup bottle of Houraisen (^^)v It's not fruity or shwashy, but it's easy to drink. I hope I can make it through the week with this 😅.

We got a rare sake called "Sora" which is released only a few times a year by Houraisen! I found the sake to have a nice aroma and little miscellaneous flavor, but with a strong taste! I can see why it's rare and popular. I was thankful to be able to buy this sake!

Sora" is a very popular sake from the Dou Sake Brewery. It was not my type of sake, so my expectations were low, but I wanted a "hiyaoroshi" from Aichi Prefecture and at the right time of year, so I brought it as a souvenir. I was pleased to find that it had a good sharpness. The aroma was subtle. I thought it was quite good at a low price. It is not my type of sake, but it is a good sake. I will not repeat the same sake, but I will try something with a different name. 3.5/5

I bought it to drink on the 🚄 ride home, but forgot to get a cup 😫 and had it at home! It's been a long time since I've had Houraisen. The website says this is a light sake, but I think it's a pretty robust type 🤔. It's stable Houraisen. I thought it would be better with a meal, so I tried it with yakiniku and it didn't go well with it 😂. I enjoyed it after dinner as a nut🥜 snack 😋.
