It has a very strong ginjo aroma. As with the unfiltered draft, there is a slight carbonation.
It also has a milk chocolate flavor, but the aftertaste is not sweet but rather bitter. The relatively heavy or strong alcohol stings the throat in the beginning, but as the label says, it is not bad considering the strength of Hidahomare and the robust rice flavor.
Cheers to a special sake commemorating 155 years in business 🥂.
Very different from the W the other day, very calm and light on the palate 😊.
It's fun to compare drinks from the same brewery 🍶.

Today we enjoyed another sake from Gifu Prefecture.
We had a bottle of Hourai Nakadori Junmai Ginjo, the main brand of Watanabe Shuzo in Furukawa, Hida City.
We bought it at a liquor store in Takayama City.
The aroma has an apple-like ginjo aroma.
In the mouth, it has a slightly astringent taste, followed by sweetness and a peach-like flavor.
W is good, but Hourai is also delicious.
