Last at our favorite yakitori restaurant for the last time this year: Houou Mita by Kobayashi Shuzo!
This time it was the first pressing.
This is also the first time I've had this label, so I'm looking forward to it!
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you take a sip, you can't get enough of the rich umami!
I have the impression that the Toronto taste is well matched with the flavor of the sake.
The lingering aftertaste is exquisitely delicious with the spiciness on top of the umami.
The food was excellent, the sake was excellent, and the comfort was excellent, so we had a great time drinking at our favorite yakitori restaurant for the last time this year!
The third picture is the sake the owner gave us!
Not only sake, but also shochu for my father... I really appreciated his thoughtfulness!
I thought I'd have another glass of local sake, but here it is.
The container is different, and the aroma can be enjoyed.
For 800 yen, this is a good choice.
Sweet and sour.
Delicious.
I can see why it is popular.
The fourth cup was a Houou Mita, which I had enjoyed for the second time. The one served was Heki-ban, a limited edition.
The aroma is slightly Japanese pear. No gassiness. The sweetness is a little strong and the acidity is moderate. It has more sake flavor than expected and is delicious.
