I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it.
I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before.
It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor.
It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.
Hello 😃
Every time I go to Gonoi, I've always wondered about buying this brand, but I've always passed on it 😅.
It's good to know that even new sake has a strong umami flavor 😋.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆
When the bottle is opened, the sweet aroma is expected.
When you put it in your mouth, the aroma of fruit is full of flavor, and the strong sweetness, moderate acidity, and strong umami rush into your mouth and make you feel satisfied.
There is no sawdust smell, and although there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, it is delicious! The impression of deliciousness is left.
Hoshijinboast has always been inexpensive, even in single bottles, and has excellent cost performance.
When used as a food sake, the bitterness is a little stronger. It is a bit rough.
Maybe it goes well with meals.
It may be better to drink it before a meal.

This is delicious. Maybe the best in the last few years.
Was this available when we visited the brewery?
