Next to the Kabutomushi, there was another cool and gorgeous bottle, so I asked for it.
It is Mikumari of Houou Mita!
I remember how surprised I was when I drank it for the first time last year.
It has a smooth texture that melts in the mouth, and the clear acidity tightens up the whole experience ✨.
It has been a little while since I opened my mouth, so I don't have the shwashy feeling I had last year.
This reduces the enjoyment of the first touch, but thanks to the lightness of the flavor, I could feel more of the flavor.
The beer is very smooth and the gasiness is very nice.
Would you buy this one too? 😂.
The second bottle was a local Tochigi Prefecture sake with a slightly different flavor.
Aikoku" is one of the three major varieties of sake cultivated in the Meiji era (1868-1912) and brewed using the traditional sake yeast.
Everyone was surprised at how different it tasted, so I think that alone was a good thing. ☺️
It was already extremely hot before the summer arrived, so I decided to drink something other than sake. I searched for a non-Nihon-shu to drink, and since it was from Houou Mita's fruit series, I was sure it would be a good choice.
I tried it and found it to be a sticky, sweet, and quite tasty bottle. I felt like I could finish it in one night.
We will be having Hououmida's three phoenix sisters, the youngest of the Phoenix series, Black: 🐦🔥
The sake rice is Junmai Ginjo from Aizan.
The top aroma is probably muscat. The taste on the palate is similar to grapefruit, with more acidity than sweetness and a rich umami with a soft mouthfeel 😚 The fruity flavor is a bit weak. It finishes with bitterness. I was surprised to see the taste change seven times depending on the food and temperature 😳I didn't like it with fish 😅It was too acidic until the end and I didn't like it very much.
Hi there, studying 😃.
It's Mida's black phoenix, isn't it: ‼️
We had it more than 2 years ago 😅I remember it as bitter acidity from sweetness 😙It seemed sweeter to us 🤔Everyone has their own way of feeling 🤗
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌆I see you had a drink on your anniversary 😊I'm late to the party 👍😁 I wonder if a glass of wine 🥂 would have given you a sweet taste.
There is no gaseous sensation, and it is characterized by a robust sweetness, umami, and bitterness, making it very tasty and drinkable, yet not lingering.
Houou Mida's Anniversary 2025, which is also an instant buy when you find it.
This project has been described as a revival project of the three major sake rice varieties of the Meiji era, and the second project is Jinryoku
It is sweet and delicious like Muscat like Hououmida, but it has a sharpness that makes it easier to drink!
Junmai Daiginjo specs at an unbelievably high cost of 1,760 yen!
Houou Mita Mikumari FLY HIGH THE 2nd
This is a new series of Houou Mita that was introduced at the Craft Sake Week and became a topic of conversation.
Mikumari, made with Nikko no Goshinsui water, had a freshness that was typical of a mineral, but also a freshness and sweetness of well-polished rice.
