Hougetsu Houzuki
Autumn Poem from Taga Town
A sake brewery located in Taga-cho near Hikone in the eastern part of Shiga Prefecture, Hozuki is a long-established brewery with a long history dating back to 1711.
We found it at the Sake Spring held in Kyoto. I was invited to sample the sake by the vigorous and imposing atmosphere of the brewers who were standing at the booth. The first sip was a big hit. This is a delicious one. I bought a bottle immediately.
I opened the bottle again at home and found that it was filled with the same flavor as before. Yoshi yoshi, this is good. I had never heard of this brand, but I wonder why it has not become popular. I like it. I hope we can meet again.
