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.
