Very beautiful as always. An elegant jewel of a sake.
A wonderful balance of subtle sweetness and fruity with a richness.
This is definitely a perfect sake.
It goes well with a meal or on its own.
Nichinichi is still a bad boy!

A limited-edition sake brewed with "Homase," a rice suitable for sake brewing from the Higo region, has arrived at the brewery.
Homase" is a valuable variety that has lived on since the Edo period.
Since its revival by the brewer of "Ubusuna," Hananaka Shuzo, it has become a major sake rice in a sense, known only to those in the know.
Like "Ubusuna," it is grown and harvested in the waters of the Kikuchi River in Kumamoto Prefecture, which is registered as a Japanese Heritage Site.
With the charisma of Higo Mokkoso,
The charisma of Higo Mokkoso and the charisma of Kyoto, the ancient capital of a thousand years.
But still, so soon,
I never thought that Nichinichi would use "HOMASU" so soon.
What kind of "HOMASU" sake did they make?
We can't stop our excitement for this dream team from 2021.
It's always a good day.
Nichinichi, a retreat that comes in our daily life.
The super-limited "HOMASU" version descends!
In the Nichinichi-ness,
Please enjoy the unique aroma and deep flavor of HOMASEN.
As it is 10/1 Sake Day, we opened a special bottle of Nichi-Ni✕San-Do!
It is a dream come true to enjoy this collaboration!
The nose has a light acidity reminiscent of grapefruit and muscat.
The taste is so clean and refreshing, and so free of any cloying flavors, that you may forget you've been drinking sake.
Nichinichi is a bit expensive, but that is why it is perfect for special occasions!
It's a green fruit at first, and the rice bran flavor will come up quickly, and as the temperature rises, the acidity will come up a little bit, adding a little bit of complexity.

Hibi, which we have not had in a while, is a Hozu that was provided by Hana-no-Ka Brewery in Sanriku.
Hinode Matsumoto of Hibi Brewing has been taking great care of rice since his days at Matsumoto Sake Brewery, and I have the impression that he is a person who brings out the full potential of the rice.
This sake also expressed the characteristics of Hozu well.
From the time of its origins, Hozu has had a wild flavor, neither sweet nor classical, with a distinctive umami taste, which was also evident in the Nichinichi.
The Hohomasu rice had a mineral taste due to the influence of Mt. Aso, but the Nichinichi had a direct wild flavor. It is not unpleasant at all, but has a umami that is different from dry sake, as if the sweetness was taken from a sweet sake.
Although it is a dry sake, it seems to have something in common with Hinakami's Aki-agari and Shichibonjari.
I like all Hinohi sakes, but this one is my personal favorite and I would like to have it again.
Thank you for the sake.
It has a fresh and elegant aroma, like that of a fine muscat grape. It has a lightness unique to its low alcohol content, with a slight sweetness that spreads in the mouth, making it very easy to drink.
