Limited production local sake brewed with Teruhi rice harvested from reclaimed fallow rice fields damaged in the 2014 Hiroshima torrential rain disaster🍶.
It is named after the Obayashi district where the rice fields are located, with the aim of "making the village prosperous for the next thousand years."
Unfortunately, I saw a newspaper article the other day that the brewing of this season's sake was abandoned due to deer-eating damage this year. We are praying for an early revival.
The first impression is a fresh aroma and fruity acidity, followed by umami in the back and a slightly spicy aftertaste, which is refreshing and white wine-like 😀.
The low rice polishing (85%) and light mouthfeel made it easy to drink 😋.
Good evening, soumacho!
Thank you for visiting 😊.
Hiroshima is a great place for sake, so 🍶 is also worth exploring: ☺️
The prefecture has a large mountainous area and many 🦌 and 🐗, so it's really tough for farmers 😥.
Mild sweet and sour aroma
Weak chili sensation on the palate
Initial attack of sweetness and fresh acidity
Sourness derived from lactic acid
Soft and mellow sweetness and rice flavor
Well balanced with sweetness
The edge of the acidity is well balanced with the sweetness.
The aroma is a calm ginjo fragrance.
Soft sweetness and strong bitterness in the mouth,
and a firm umami.
The aftertaste is lingering sourness and bitterness.
Junmai Ginjo is also good as a food sake.
It goes well with umami food.
A group of friends and I had an explosive drinking contest at a Hiroshima teppan-yaki restaurant!
I'm not sure how I feel about it because it's a little bit at a time.
It's getting more and more exciting and I'm not sure how I feel about it (lol).
Sweet chemical aroma. Strawberries from a candy store.
Wine-like when included.
Lightly sweet and refreshingly acidic.
The mouthfeel is clean and sharp.
Delicious.
Taste level ☆3/5
The 60th bottle for home drinking in 2024 🍶.
Asahi Hou from Hiroshima Prefecture. It was my first time to drink it 🤤.
It was fresh, slightly dry and delicious 😋.
Preference ★★★★⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Aroma of rich sake.
Somewhat bitter and bluish as well.
Aroma like mellow, aromatic, apricot liquor.
The flavor has body.
In the latter half, the acidity is very tight.
It has a firm umami taste.
It goes well with pickled bonito, but I would like to try it with something sweeter.
I would like to try it with shigure-ni-nimono (simmered bonito).
Degree of preference ☆3/5
Asahi Hou's medium fresh new Senbon.
Local sake.
It was recommended by an acquaintance of my wife. It is full-bodied with a strong rice flavor. A little dry.
It is the base of my sake.
