Sake I bought in Toyama. My favorite, Hounami from Uozu Sake Brewery. It is a green one made with Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture.
I think this series of HONAMI is the best food sake to complement any food without being too assertive. I am sure that is the concept of ❓️🤔
It may not be a national brand, but it is a very good sake.
Just a few of the drinks from last week's trip to Toyama that I have not posted here....
Following the yellow one we had at Sushi Daimon, we had a green one at Raijin Kijin Hagiwara. This one is Miyamanishiki.
It is a refreshing and easy-drinking sake that is ideal for a meal. It is a perfect food sake with a refreshing taste. The HONAMI series is really good.

Uozu sake at the famous Sushi Daimon restaurant in Uozu. A relatively new brand from the Uozu Sake Brewery, Honami's Akita Sake Komachi. It is named Yellow.
Every Honami sake is delicious. It is also easy to pair with a meal.
Toyama in spring is the second of these ✨✨.
Miyamanishiki.
The middle part of the bottle has a mild umami, followed by a full-bodied acidity.
The back half of the bottle is smooth, and the finish is slightly full-bodied.
I got it today at a supermarket in Saitama, where I was traveling 🍶🤗.
Not one cup.
It seems to be ICH-GO-CAN 😮.
The brewery is in Toyama🤔The rice is Miyamanishiki from Akita🎆.
Tastes quite old-fashioned 🤔.
This series makes me want to eat sashimi with a lot of rice feeling 🤣.
Today's snack, I think it's a little too subtle for grilled cheese.
Oden was good?
Amto Liquor Store Tasting and Sales Event (3)
President Bungo said that Hounami is made to go with fish dishes because of its proximity to a fishing port.
There used to be an illustration version of the wave, but I guess they unified it with the kanji version.
HONAMI Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Green
As I had the impression from other Hounami before, it has a strong sourness with a bitter taste. It leaves a sticky acidic mass on the tongue.
Hmmm, I like Tenka, but I don't think I'm into Hounami.
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 🤔.
