I'm writing this while shaking from the shock of being told by Matsuchiyo-san that my hands are shaking🤣.
I found it in a refrigerator in the sake department of Aeon.
They also sold Junmai Ginjo, but according to the official website, Junmai is sweeter, so I bought this one!
It's slightly sweet and juicy sweet-tasting, but not fruity while drinking. I got the impression that it converges with bitterness in the latter half of the bottle. Not as sweet as I expected 🤔.
The aroma in the nose after drinking is quite fruity.
One of the items brought in after the volunteer work was completed in Yokohama.
The jacket has simple but impactful brush strokes.
If you look closely, you can see the word "Hourai" on the left shoulder.
I had no doubt because Hourai is my favorite restaurant,
I was surprised at how delicious it was! It's mellow.
I hadn't been to the restaurant for half a year, but I had a wonderful encounter with a volunteer.
The quantity is limited, but I'm not sure if 3,980 bottles is too many or too few. The quality of the sake is both gorgeous and full-bodied enough. Since it is a raw sake, you can taste the flavor with a lot of gusto. Delicious, highly recommended.
Hourai, a sake that holds fond memories for me.
When I was doing my usual shopping at the local Aeon, I noticed an unusual sake label on a shelf that was hard to notice.
I looked closely and saw it was Hourai. However, it was a limited edition sake.
Although it was beyond my budget for dinner, I was lured by the limited edition and bought it.
The taste was strong right after opening the package!
But personally, it is perfect for sipping after dinner, not for drinking at night.
Opened on May 17, 2025
Purchased after tasting at the brewery
Very fruity ^ ^
Fresh✨
Now style w/ sweetness
Sweetness, but also fresh bitterness and sourness like grapefruit 😄
I just want to drink this one ^ ^.
You can't go wrong with sake from this brewery ^ ^
