The second set sold by Masaruyasan is Sake Mirai by Glorious Chien 😍 such a good set of sake: ⁉️
I was a bit gutted when I saw this 💪.
I had considered buying this sake when it first came out but had to pass on it due to inventory reasons, but I never thought I'd find it here 🥰.
Speaking of Gluttonous Chien, I bought some sashimi at the supermarket to drink, and then it was time to open the bottle: ‼️
The aroma is fruity and full of rice. The mouthfeel is clean, with a hint of banana 🍌.
The elegant and gentle sweetness and umami lasts for a while. The acidity is refreshing and finishes with a slightly dry aftertaste ✨.
I saw on the website that it is recommended for white fish, so I had it with sashimi sea bream and, although not listed, flatfish sashimi, and the synergistic effect increased the umami and made it delicious 😊.
I tried Hiro's instant flavor change of three turns and three minutes, and the acidity became stronger and more sharp, and the mature sake became more powerful 😁.
I also tried it at room temperature and it was just as sour and zingy as the instant one👍
On the fourth day, the sweet and umami taste became quite strong and full, and the acidity became a little sour in front of the throat, but it was still slightly dry and refreshing at the end.
One drop is all you need👍

Good evening, ichiro18!
Is that Houken's Sake Mirai 😲?
I'm curious because I haven't seen much of Kita-no-Hana before 😋.
I'm curious 😋 I've also tried the three turns and three minutes and I'm very active in sake making! I guess so 😁.
I love the synergy and increased flavor 🤤🤤.

Sake rice: Hachitanishiki and Yamadanishiki
Dry, not as dry as drunken whales, but with a slightly peculiar taste, which perfectly matched the steamed scorpion fish 🤩.
The sake is not as dry as drunken whale, but it has its own unique peculiarity, and it is a perfect match for steamed scorpion fish 🤩!
"Houken Retro Label" is distributed only locally in Hiroshima. It is a blend of Junmai Daiginjo-shu and Junmai Ginjo-segments based on Junmai Hachitan-Nishiki sake for the local market. It has a strong rice flavor, just the right amount of sharpness, and excellent balance! Can be served cold or lukewarm."

The taste is too complex for me to understand, but all I can say is that it's good.
I know I'm always pushing Houken, but I really want you to try it, whether you like the classic dry taste or the fruity taste of today's world. I guarantee you will be surprised and discoveries will be made for both. I know it's not easy to get it, especially in the Kanto area, but if you come across it, we'd love to have it.
The other side of the two-top will come later.

Houken's autumn sake!
Dry but rich, yet deeply penetrating.
It is the autumn sake! It is a perfect match for the taste of autumn.

I opened a bottle of "Aki-agari" from "Houken" that I had been curious about.
The mouthfeel is clean and goes down the throat easily. It is gentle and has a strong umami flavor. It gives the impression of a food sake that is versatile enough to be matched with autumn flavors.
As the hot weather gradually calms down, you can enjoy the pleasure of autumn sake. Delicious: ❗️

A very good autumn sake as a food sake! The astringency and acidity, including bitterness, give it a nice crispness. It also has a refreshing coolness. After that, the umami taste spreads, though not strongly. The flavor increases as the temperature approaches room temperature. It is as if the umami has been added to Houken, which is easy to drink without getting tired of it, and the depth has been added to it.

It wasn't great when we opened it, but it was consistently delicious.
It's also freshly-packaged, so it's the hiyaoroshi of our house.
Houken is not sweet, but delicious!
I love that sake like this is winning awards.
