Sake that I asked Maru-san to buy for me
I received it at the Sakai Off-line Meeting
Hoshi-Izumi is my favorite brand.
There are only a few places in Kansai where you can buy it💦.
It appeared to be over a year old in the store.
I was told before purchase, so no problem there.
Lots of bubbles in the glass when poured 🫧.
Aged a little? It smells like it's advanced, but it's gassy and pleasantly sweet. Bitter taste in the second half. I was a little apprehensive about the date but it was delicious 😋.
If it had been fresh, would it have been rummy or citrusy?
After a week or more, I don't mind the aged feeling anymore.
I guess I got used to the aging feeling 🤣.

Hello bouken😊
I'm glad you enjoyed the drink 😄.
I also felt the aroma as if it had been aged. Like a slight pickle😅.
Makes me want to try the new one 🤣.

Maru, good evening 🌃
Thank you very much for your help this time 🙇.
It tastes good, but it has a little bit of an old flavor 😅.
I hope you get the new dated ones in stock 🥺.

Everyone in Kansai is listing their offline meetings in order, but I haven't reached that point yet, so I'll list them in order 😆.
I got a purchase order from Legend for Hoshizumi Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake 🍶.
Bought one for myself as well.
I thought I did a drunken job and looked at the label on the back 👀? Wasn't that a year ago?
I did it...
The kind legend said it was still OK.
However, I had to taste it first...
What is it?
I don't know the original, so is it good? Is it old?
Hmmm, my palate finds it tasty.
I will leave the rest to the legend.
It is a drinkable sake, bouken!

Hi Maru 🐦.
Hoshizizumi's unfiltered raw barley is very attractive 😻
If it were just me, I'd be OK with it as long as it tastes good, but I'm curious 😊.

Hi Pon, good evening 🌔.
Unfiltered raw sake is such a killer word for me that I would buy it just for the sake of it🤣.
It's like that at the offline meeting, it's everyone's dream. I hope you think it's delicious 😅

Good evening, Mr. Maru.
I was wondering if I should open the bottle today, but decided not to 😅.
I'm a little worried that you didn't mention the detailed taste, but I'd like to open the bottle next time ahead of schedule 😊.

Hello bouken😊
The detailed taste is a secret ㊙️🤫
We don't want to take away from your enjoyment bouken🤣.
Enjoy opening the bottle!

I bought this sake at a liquor store I wandered by.
It is a sake brewed with a first rice called Wakamizu.
The aroma is mild, with a hint of muscat.
The first sip has a unique sweetness like that of apricot curd, followed by a slightly strong bitterness.
The bitterness is a bit too much for me, so I finish the bottle after only about one gou.
The next day, the bitterness is gone and it tastes great 😊.
Yay 🙌!
I can drink it with ease👍

Hi Maru 😃
Hoshizumi, it's my favorite brand, but there are too few places that sell it 💦.
Is this a wine shop in Sakai Higashi?

Hello bouken😊
It's a wine shop in Sakai Higashi!
I see there are not many places that sell hoshizumi.
It's not that easy to find it 🧐.

Sake from a sake brewery near Pekho-san's parents' home.
The brewery uses local rice called Yumeginka from the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture.
As the description says, "It is characterized by a light and soft taste.
It has a light mouthfeel with little depth and heaviness.
The taste is not umami or sweet, but rather it is united by spiciness, a slight acidity, and astringency.
It was served chilled.
The aroma I felt
-Aroma: Ginjo aroma👍
-Aroma: Astringent aroma
Taste sensation
The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)
-Spiciness: 3 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste

-Sourness: 2 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste
-Bitterness: 2 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste
-Astringency: Start 2→ Lingering 3
-Rice flavor: 0 at the beginning → 0 lingering 0

I thought it might be somewhat dry, and at my husband's request for the first filleted pork cutlet in a long time, I had it with filleted pork cutlet and wonton casserole! Surprisingly, it has a subtle sweet aroma, a moderate sourness, and a tangy sharpness. It was quite ⭕️ with the hot filet mignon!

Hi shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
With filet mignon, I would think beer 🍺 but it's quite 🙆🏻🙆🏻♀️ 😊 I'm learning a lot 📝.

The second comparison of drinks at home 🍶.
Hoshisen
I thought I had had this one before... but when I followed it up, I found that I had only had the light nigori as part of the Ume Matsuri drinking comparison set...
I got myself back on track and here we go!
It's delicious!
The mouthfeel is firm, the acidity and sweetness are well balanced, and the aftertaste is refreshing!
I want to try the dry one next time 🤔.
About 580 yen for 300ml
Just a small story here 🍶.
I was told at my favorite liquor store that this one was also popular, and after thinking about it, I decided to try it another time... but then I decided that I wanted to compare the two! I thought I'd have to wait until another time... but then I decided I wanted to compare!
I'm glad I compared them. They are similar but different.

Sake from a brewery near my wife's (Peppho) parents' house
As the name suggests, it has a flavor reminiscent of white wine.
The rice flavor is not so strong, but the sweetness of the wine is strongly felt while the presence of rice is expressed by the acidity, a little astringency and bitterness.
I served it chilled.
The aroma I perceived was as follows.
-Aroma: A faint aroma reminiscent of noble rot wine.
-Aroma: A hint of sourness that passes through the nose.
Taste sensation
The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)

Since it is wine yeast, I made ham in low temperature cooking! Added French bread on the way. Lightly baked with butter and maple syrup. It went very well with the liquor, which reminded me of sweet wine 💕It paired quite well with the bread.

Hoshiizumi Junmai Ginjo.
Today, I traveled with my wife Bibi to Nagoya station to go back home, and after having a drink at a pub near the station, we went to each other's parents' house.
We went to a straw barbeque restaurant, and the food was good, but it took a long time to come out ... .
Hoshizumi is refreshing and seems to go well with any dish.
We started with the straw grill assortment.

I was going to drink at a hotel at night in Nagoya.
I bought it at Nagoya Takashimaya but missed drinking it and took it home.
We had it with eel from Mikawa.
The first time I drank Hoshi-Izumi, it had a sweet aroma and a strong citrus flavor in the mouth. It finishes refreshingly with a touch of umami and bitterness.
I felt less citrus flavor when paired with eel.

Hi Luteltemi 😃.
It's good to drink local sake on the trip, but it's also good to bring it back as a souvenir and drink it while remembering 🤗I guess I preferred to drink it and then finish with eel 😁.

Good evening, Jay and Nobby😄.
We had to cut short our plans to go home due to bad weather, so we also took home some eel, but it was delicious. But we had a lot of fun memories 😆.

With yuzu nabe from Kaldi's.
It is very tasty with the unique flavor of rice in the raw sake. However, it is sad that there will be no next one because the person who made this sake was taken over by another sake brewery.
