武侯祠I bought it on a trip to Ehime and kept it in the fridge until the first night of GW when I opened it. It was the most enjoyable sake of the year, with a highly throat-attacking quality that is unique to honjozo.
tamaIt is cloudy and has the same muscat aroma as the previous Yamagata Masamune, and is refreshing.
This sake also had no bitterness in the aftertaste.
It was delicious.
おんだDrinking at home.
Today, I chose Yamagata Masamune, which I had been curious about, and drank it for lunch on my day off.
It had a pleasant sourness with a melon-like aroma, followed by spiciness and umami.
It was a delicious cup with sweetness.
ペンギンブルーFruity like rice malt and pear.
Soft mouthfeel.
It has a pear-like flavor with a lustrous floral aroma.
The slightly rich rice and the fruity flavor blend well together.
The lemon-like acidity is felt afterwards, and the pure sweetness and bitterness linger on the palate after the rice flavor is gone.
It is somewhat reminiscent of an adult lady.
