Thick and dry. It has its own assertiveness, so I think it can be enjoyed without being overpowered by strong flavored food. I matched it with sardine tsumire nabe, which is a nabe served with a thick soy sauce-based sauce.
I bought this sake on a business trip to Wakayama.
I had no expectations at all because of the lame name, but it was quite tasty.
It has a refreshing sweetness reminiscent of citrus fruits, and it is not at all alcoholic, perhaps due to its moderate maturity.
It is a versatile sake that can be served cold or warmed, so it can be enjoyed as an everyday evening sake.
Good acidity, then a nice taste.
A rare taste.
I enjoyed it!
The label is heavy and cool!
I bought it when I visited Kumano last fall.
We also stopped by the brewery.

Pacific One Cup Honjozo from Ozaki Sake Brewery, Shingu City, Wakayama Prefecture
This is a Japanese SAKE with a sharpness that will surely make dry sake drinkers groan. It goes well with all kinds of food, but today I had a half-priced fillet of sea bream, so I grilled it with salt and toasted it with a toast. It was a moment of bliss.
Buy locally🍶.
As you can imagine from the unfiltered Yamahai, you can enjoy a strong sake taste 🫠.
And yet it has the refreshing taste of junmai sake, which I think would go well with a strong-flavored meal 😋.
drinking at home
I usually drink only junmai sake, but last night's dinner was oden😊.
I had a bottle of Honjozo, Taiheiyo Issho, warmed to lukewarm,
It was even better than I expected!
It's a honjozo, but it has a mildness to it,
Thanks to the best match with oden!
The flavor is rich, powerful and mild. There is also a nice acidity. Very tasty. It is my favorite taste.
Traveled to Wakayama to see pandas and penguins. Purchased at Toretore Market. I didn't know this brand, but the astringent taste on the label was outstanding. It is from a sake brewery in the southernmost part of Wakayama Prefecture. Everything I tasted in Wakayama Prefecture was delicious, including food and drinks (such as Kido).
