Amt tasting (3)
Rice is Miyamanishiki
Polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +8, Acidity 2.4
Alcohol 15
Slightly sweet and muscat-like, but the overall impression is dry.
Hmmm, something about Honami just doesn't do it for me personally 🤔.
Sweet with a three-dimensional flavor. Strong acidity, sweet and sour aroma of plums, changing to a dark sourness of noble rot wine type. It has a lingering aftertaste.
It has a flowery, fresh, gentle aroma, and the umami of the rice is more impressive than its sweetness and acidity. The aftertaste is refreshing.
I wonder if this is the position in the Honami series where the umami of rice can be clearly felt.
The bottle cap is nice and gives the impression of being concerned about the bottle cap.

#Japanese Sake
The first sake for drinking at home in the new year. Hatsushibori Hohanami, which we bought in Toyama last month. I paired it with kombujime, which I also bought in Toyama.
It is a clean and refreshing sake, and I felt it was lighter than the 15% alcohol content indicated on the label. Great as a food sake✨.
I bought 4 kinds of kombujime at a local supermarket called Kurosaki-ya, but each pack was so big that I couldn't eat all of them if I defrosted them one by one...^^;)
This sake is like an adult cider with a great effervescence.
It has no alcohol taste at all, and even those who do not like sake can enjoy drinking it. (It may be too much like juice for those who must have a sense of alcohol.)
It is very easy to drink and very dangerous.
By the way, be careful when opening the bottle, because if you don't do it slowly and carefully, the bubbles will be so strong that they will overflow!
The bubbles are that strong.
