The official sake, "Fly High Cloudy," is named after the god of water, Mikumari no Kami, who is known as the "god who controls water.
The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of muscat and white peaches. The aroma is not BURNOUT SYNDROMES or Arabesque, but Jigsaw's "Sky High".
In the mouth, the creamy texture melts on the tongue and the clear, fine rice flavor typical of Junmai Daiginjo spreads. The slight carbonation gives it a pleasant pizzazz, and the balance of sweetness and sourness is exquisite!
But it still has a feeling that it is not this 😅 You want a graininess? My partner said it was like a juice.
Houou Mita assemblage limited edition
Based on Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture, this is a one-time fire-refining of Aizan and Gohyakumangoku.
The rice polishing is 35-50% higher than that of the commercial brews, and both the rice and the polishing are of high spec.
The aroma is sweet and capricious, with a hint of milkyness.
Unlike the aroma, the mouthfeel is smooth and expansive, with a beautifully clear acidity and a gentle umami flavor.
The sweetness is also well balanced and can be enjoyed on its own, but it is also easy to pair with food.
I personally feel that even the recent Hououmida is less flamboyant, but it seems to me that it is a bottle that has both.
The softness of the aftertaste and even the lingering bitterness are gentle.
Hououmida sake for warming up. I buy it every year if I can find it.
It has a rich flavor that is typical of Hououmida when heated, with a moderately spicy and robust taste that is the perfect match for nabe, stewed dishes, and other strong winter dishes.
I have been drinking Hououmida's BLACK PHOENIX every season without fail, and Hououmida with Aizan was one I could not miss, but this season it seems very light?
It was a bottle of Hououmida with Aizan, which is one of our must-have bottles. I think it is a change in the condition of the rice and the brewing process, so I am looking forward to next season!
Hououmida nigori for the first time😊.
Fruity from the aroma and equally sweet on the palate with a little gas and pineapple taste 🍶.
Good to drink as a toast with barbecued meat 👍
Mr. Houou Mida,
Nice to meet you.
I think it is a rather full-flavored sake with a fruity ginjo aroma like melon🍈 or pear🍐, a subtle sweetness that enhances the flavor of the sake, and finally a well-balanced acidity and bitterness that finishes the taste.
The entrée was delicious with Western food as well as Spanish mackerel poached 😋.
This is the second bottle of hanpukai 1sho.
It is a beautiful sake with a nice aroma and no hooking. It has a very good balance of gentle sweetness, umami, and acidity, and you never get tired of drinking it. You can drink it in large gulps. It was delicious! Thank you for the treat 😊.
I found that a bottle can be consumed in two days if a couple drinks it together. Be careful not to drink too much😅.
