Not much sweetness, more of a bitter taste,
more astringent than tasty? But it's a totally good one.
Sourness? Full-bodied?
If you drink it with a meal, it will drown out everything and you can drink it easily.
Kamo Midori Honjozo
May 28, 2022
This Okayama brewery brews its own sake with rice from its own rice fields. When we previously tasted Takebayashi, we felt it was a sake for warming up, and this honjozo also has a solid, mature aroma that would look great warmed up. When served cold, it has a light sweetness, followed by an acidity that pulls it through the palate, leaving it full-bodied. When heated, the sweetness and richness increase, and the acidity and umami are both enhanced. This is a perfect local honjozo sake, a perfect accompaniment to a meal.
It tastes best when warmed to high temperature. At first I felt it had a peculiar taste, but as I drank more of it, I didn't mind. The high alcohol content makes it very drinkable.
I went into a nearby liquor store that I had been curious about for the first time and bought some sake. I came here to buy sake, but I also had a chat with the owner's grandmother. I feel connected to the people through the sake and enjoy the local sake. It was junmai sake, so it was richer than the last sake I drank, but it was a good taste.
I wonder what I should buy at that liquor store next time!

This is a sake brewery where I have had Takebayashi before. I remember it as a warmer version, but this one also has a strong matured aroma. It is too good to be served cold, but the acidity pulls the finish together and leaves a full-bodied flavor. Warming it up gives it more sweetness and body, and makes it a good complement to tsumami (rice dishes).
Kamo Midori from Marumoto Brewery is served in Hiya.
I was told that it is good for drinking during the meal, so I took it in collaboration with Mizore Nabe.
The aroma is clean with a hint of rice and water.
When you drink it, it is easy to take in.
It's not sticky at all.
Recently, I've come to the age where I feel that thick, sticky feeling is good for sake.
Is it just that my drinking level has improved?
It was cold outside, but the combination of hot pot and cold sake made for a great time.
It was another good day of sake.
