I bought it after seeing the not-for-sale label. At first, the sake had a sour taste and a nice sharpness. After that, it just became a delicious sake.
Hourai from Watanabe Sake Brewery in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture.
Junmai Daiginjyo unfiltered sake sold only at the sake brewery.
Polishing ratio 45%, alcohol 16%.
The sake rice is Hidahomare produced in Gifu Prefecture.
The moment you drink it, you will be struck by its sweet aroma and firm acidity.
It has a deep aroma that only a Junmai Daiginjo can have.
I personally think that Hourai is delicious no matter what you drink.
I tried it in a wineglass, as it was awarded the gold medal for best tasting sake in a wineglass. It was quite sweet, like sweet sake. It is indeed good to drink it with a glass of wine. The cost performance is quite good.
I bought it at my usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten.
📌720ml ¥1,375
I bought the label.
It's my first time to drink sake on the rocks!
Here is the rice!
The aroma is fresh and fruity.
The color is beautiful.
On the palate
The first sip is unexpectedly sweet
but it is very refreshing and easy to drink👍
Although the alcohol content is high
It is mild and refreshing and suitable for summer!
Highly recommended💕💕💕
Good value for money💕💕💕
Umami
I can't describe it well, but I think it's similar to the umami component of clams.
A pleasant bitterness in the lower back and upper throat area.
I thought it would be more beautiful since the rice polishing ratio is 45%, but it is very firm. Is it because of the high alcohol content?
The aroma alone makes me happy!
It has a gorgeous full-tasting aroma, but I'm not sure what it is supposed to taste like.
Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio 45
Unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Just imagining it, it looked so delicious that I bought it immediately when I saw it!
I bought it immediately,
It was under 2,000 yen, which I didn't expect. It was too good a deal!
I drank it with my mother and we both raved about it. It's so delicious!
It has a cloudy appearance with a coarse orizzled appearance, symbolizing unfiltered. The aroma is sweet and fruity, but the first sip is strongly carbonated! The sweetness is a new taste for me, but if I had to say, it has a heavy aftertaste derived from rice, like that of an apple. Is it because it is 100% Hida Hidahomare?
At 17 degrees, it is quite heavy! In a word, heavy!
