You can enjoy the change of taste
Match it with food chilled for a refreshing taste.
Lukewarm heating brings out its aroma and sweetness.
It's also good that it's strong in alcohol content.
Delicious!

This sake is called "Mature Sake" by Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory.
According to the specs, it is a fire-aged version of Honjozo unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
The aroma is a little less intense, and the sweetness, umami, and alcohol content are higher than the acidity.
It's very good, and with this potential, it tastes like it won't fall apart even if it's heated up.
A bottle that can be enjoyed cold or hot.
It has a good balance of umami and sharpness, so please enjoy it in different ways depending on who you drink it with.
It is such a good sake!
Today I was able to enjoy a rare sake that is rarely found in my hometown. I was very much looking forward to this sake made by the famous Touji Noguchi, Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory. It was well chilled at first, with a good balance of umami, bitterness, and acidity, followed by a solid finish with alcohol and a full body. It has a very robust impression. It is also enjoyable at different temperatures, and the sweetness and umami become more intense and interesting as you drink it slowly over time. Today, while watching a DVD of Mr. Touji Noriguchi, I will enjoy this sake slowly, imagining how it was brewed together with him.

I was looking forward to drinking this sake from Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory.
I thought it would be Junmai ......, but in a twist, I chose Honjozo Unfiltered Nama-shu!
Honjozo Unfiltered Nama Sake by Mr. Noguchi!
Is there any sake more exciting than this?
The strong aroma and acidity are typical of unfiltered unpasteurized sake, while the sweetness is moderate.
The sweetness is moderate.
You can also feel the sharpness of the sake, which is typical of honjozo.
And here, the "umami" is still there.
From the image of a light, refreshing, everyday sake, it has become a very elegant sake.
That's how it tastes!
Honjozo sake that should be savored thoroughly.
Interesting!
It's a good sake.
