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.
Sweet and gorgeous aroma 🎵
Soft and full of flavor 😋.
Slightly acidic aftertaste ✨.
Clean aftertaste 👍️
Only a few bottles per year 🍶, a rare one.
The price was also humungous 😲😲😲😲😲.
Echizen Cape for the first time in my life. In memory of Mr. Noodle Sake King who has gone home.
The aroma is good. It's gentle, refreshing, easy to drink, and you can get drunk easily.
It was so delicious that I recommend it.
February Tasting at Icoma Sake Shop ④.
Echizen Cape Ihyakumangoku
I first drank it at room temperature, which was fine enough for me personally, but when I heated it up, I felt like I could drink it forever and ever 🤣.
It's like an all-rounder that can be drunk at any temperature!
In the mouth, the sweetness spreads immediately followed by a sudsy alcohol sensation.
The taste is rough and fresh with a touch of elegance.
Despite the high alcohol content and strength of the sake, it is easy to keep drinking.
It's Cat Day, but I haven't prepared any particular cat labels or anything 😹.
I've been wanting to drink a draft version of this sake since the fire-aged one I had before was so good.
I bought it at Ikoma together with the tobin-tori.
It is fresh, fruity and delicious with a strong umami flavor. The higher the temperature, the sweeter it tastes.
Good evening Mr. Noodles 🌃
I've always wanted to try this sake since Mr. Noodle said it tasted good raw before😃.
I would like to try the plum yeast sake next 🤔.
I went to buy it as soon as I saw it was in stock on Icoma-san's SNS 😁.
It has a little color.
It has a slightly ripe taste and a beautiful umami.
Sake that is easy to drink with a good balance of sweetness and spiciness while being a little refreshing.
It feels refreshing but has a strong umami.
The cost is great, at around 1,000 yen for a tobin 😳.
