Purchasing a warehouse
A factory rather than a warehouse.
This atmosphere was lonely.
The taste is smooth and easy to drink, with a clean aftertaste.
If it were good, it would be a stable taste, but if it were bad, it would be a taste without individuality.
I wondered if it was mass-produced in a factory.
What does the processing plant on the label mean?
Sataru-san. Nice to meet you! It seems that Mimine is the parent company of Seitoku-san. According to the Food Labeling Law, it seems that the manufacturer is the one who actually produced the product and the processing plant means the place where it was bottled. It was unnecessary. I am glad it tastes good.
While thinking of the sound of the name "Houou Seitoku", I certainly feel a bit of glamour and old sake-like habit. It would be intoxicating if enjoyed quietly with local cuisine.
Houou Seitoku Junmai Ginjo Genshu
16% 60% Maikaze 720ml 1504 yen
Purchased at a roadside station in Amaraku, Gunma Prefecture.
To be honest, I did not have high expectations, but the taste made me think I might like it a lot. It has a strong rice flavor, soy sauce, a Japanese flavor like rice bran, and a gentle fruity sweetness. The tangy taste? Some people may be bothered by the "mash" taste, but it is a very unique taste.
Maikaze from Gunma Prefecture is used. Gunma 227 yeast is said to produce a rich and gentle finish. When it was first developed, it was difficult to dissolve the rice, but in recent years, the yeast has been changing or has adapted well.
I am speculating, but I think it would be better to choose this yeast over others. I'm just making a judgment based on the label. But I recommend this one. It is a unique sake, not a trendy imitation sake.

I bought this at a liquor store in Maebashi. It is an unfamiliar brand, but the owner recommended it, so my expectations were high.
When opened, it was fruity and delicious, with a sense of gas. The aftertaste is a little sourness that tightens it up.
I will buy it again when I visit Gunma.
This Sake is light, refreshing and easy to drink. I am revisiting this Sake because it has been a while since I last drank it. I enjoy the mild flavors of apple and melon with a clean, short aftertaste. This is a refreshing and well balanced Sake.
I think it was around November last year, I had a chance to visit Tomioka Silk Mill for work.
On that occasion, I bought this Houou Seitoku๐ at a liquor store in the shopping arcade across the street.
The name was completely new to me, and I had it with both anticipation and apprehension.
The aroma has a slight sweetness to it.
It has a gentle, full mouthfeel. The acidity is low.
After the sweetness, which is like a diluted mixture of wasanbon and rinto, the delicious taste of rice emerges ๐.
Furthermore, the astringent taste of the skin side of the mandarin orange appeared briefly, and the astringent sweetness stayed for a while at the end.
It becomes sweet and sour when you take a bite ๐คค.
When served hot, it has a mild and smooth mouthfeel with a pleasant rice flavor ๐.
It has a nice sweet and sour taste with a hint of acidity, so it goes well with a meal.
