The sweetness of the rice and the rich umami come through strongly!
It is spicy but surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink!
The snack is Krosawa's chicken wings!

Lightly fragrant with a hint of pineapple.
Light sweetness, followed by a touch of heaviness and bitterness.
Bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
IGOMA October Tasting ④.
First time drinking Honshu Ichi no Aki-agari.
It tasted clean, sweet, spicy, and gentle.
I think it may be because it was the first sake I tasted in autumn, but I got the impression that it was more mature than the other Honzuichi sake I have tasted so far.
I didn't take a picture of it, but I also drank a bottle of Yamahai sake.
It was a fire-aged version of the nama sake I bought at the August tasting.
It was more subdued than the nama, but just like the nama, it had a strong umami flavor and was delicious!
Purchased at a supermarket in Hiroshima station on a business trip. Only on the label, it is listed as either Honshu Ichiban or Honshu Ichiban, which is a mystery as to which is more accurate 😄.
It has a strong, fruity, melon-like flavor, as is typical of the original sake. The smooth mouthfeel and clear structure are excellent.
It gets a little tiring as you keep drinking it.
