After returning home, I wondered what to drink and chose "Karahashi" by Homare Shuzo, which I had never had a chance to drink before! It is a junmai ginjo made from Omachi. The first sip gives the impression of sweetness with no sourness. As you continue drinking, the spiciness comes out and the trinity of sweetness, umami, and spiciness comes together, which is just the right balance and delicious. There are other sake rice varieties in the Karahashi series besides Omachi, so you have to try them 😆.

It is fruity, but you can also feel the taste of rice. The aftertaste is clean and this is drinkable.

Karahashi label by Homare Sake Brewery. Unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from sake rice Yume no Kou. Fruity ginjo aroma. The aroma of melon and sweetness, followed by a slight sourness and bitterness, finally fading away with a slight spiciness. Although it is unfiltered raw, there is no bitterness or peculiarity, and the impression is of a soft, sweet, umami taste. After a few days of drinking, the balance between sweet and spicy has improved. It is a delicious sake that is so easy to drink that it makes you want to drink more and more. ☺️

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (2) Continued from ①. We drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Gohyakumangoku The atmosphere is similar to what we have had so far, but a little spicier. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Fukunoka This one is also quite sweet and tasty. I've never seen this label before and thought it looked unusual. Aizu Homare Yozakura Junmai Ginjo This is said to be a spring sake. It has a classic flavor among the ones we drank this time. Classic but light! Lychee nigori sake The lychee flavor is in full bloom. I thought it would be hard to sell it because I think lychee is not to be liked or disliked. I like lychee myself 😘. Strawberry nigori sake I liked this one the best out of all the liqueurs. It's more strawberry than sake-like, and it's delicious! Chocolate Nigori It is very chocolatey, but it also has a strong alcoholic taste. I was so confused because there were so many sweet ones, but I bought the Fuku-no-Ka. I wondered if the brewer was from Fukushima, but it seems he is a resident of Tokyo. It seems that it was planned to coincide with an event at a department store in the Kansai region.

Ikoma Sake Shop Aizu Homare Tasting (1) The day after Harukas, we had a tasting of Aizu Homare at the nearby Ikoma Sake Shop! I didn't take notes, so I'm going to split this post into two parts because there were so many kinds of sake 😅. I drank Kitakata Terroir Junmai Ginjo Kitakata Yamadanishiki I think they called it Utsukushima Yume Yeast. It's pretty sweet and fresh tasting. Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki I think they said 1801 yeast. Fruity and quite sweet. Sold out when I was there. Aizu Homare Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki from Banshu It tastes like a richer version of Junmai Ginjo. Kitakata Terroir Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Genshu Yume no Kaori Fire-brewed but raw and muscat-like Aizu Homare Junmai Ginjo Yume no Kaori This is also fresh and sweet. I think it tastes similar to Karahashi. Yamadanishiki is the same, but the label is a bit similar too 🤔. Aizu Homare Yamadanishiki and Yume no Aroma are available only at two stores, a sake store in Saitama and Ikoma Sake Shop, since they were just released.
