Almost my first hiyaoroshi experience. The spiciness is reserved, and (for lack of a better description) you can enjoy the rich and flavorful aftertaste!
The limited quantity of 2588 bottles caught my eye.
The yeast is still alive and the tangy sensation spreads on the palate.
However, the rich sweet flavor unique to Hourai was delicious.
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.
