Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting ㉒
Sake I brought, No.2
I bought it with Taki at Icoma-san.
Echizenmisaki is also quite rare, and the store owner said he didn't know what it tasted like because he hadn't drunk it, so I chose this one to try.
It's not sweet, but it has a strong flavor and is fruity and delicious.
I forgot to take a picture of this one too, so I borrowed Robin's picture😅.
We had this at a kappo izakaya (Japanese-style restaurant) in front of Fukui Station on our way to Eiheiji Temple. It is said to be a limited edition completely made-to-order by the restaurant. It was refreshingly dry and went well with their specialty, grilled mackerel on the beach.
Honami is a 16% alcohol, unadulterated, undiluted sake.
It is made from Sakahomare produced in Fukui Prefecture and uses the same in-house yeast as that used in the Daiginjyo "Gin no Shizuku," which won the Gold Prize at the R5 National New Sake Competition, and has a refined finish that takes advantage of Sakahomare's unique sweetness and flavor.
It is a rare type of Echizen-misaki with a gorgeous aroma.
