The first sip is sweet and fruity, but by the time it goes down your throat, you will feel the alcohol. It is both easy to drink and robust. It was delicious to drink.
Home drinking.
Today is my day off from work, and it's time for the customary lunchtime drink.
It's getting colder.
It's the season to enjoy heated sake. ☺️
Today, however, I noticed a very limited Junmai Daiginjo of Hourai from Watanabe Shuzo Brewery, which is famous for its "W" (pronounced "W") at a nearby supermarket.
It is one of the limited number of 2394 bottles.
The accompaniments were the original oden, sashimi, horse mackerel, and appetizers prepared in the morning.
When you first open the bottle, you will notice a fruity aroma similar to "W".
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness is followed by spiciness,
The spiciness comes after the sweetness and is cut off by the acidity.
When served with oden, the spiciness and acidity from the alcohol, which is stronger than the sweetness, enhances the umami.
It reduces the smell of horse mackerel and enhances its umami.
It is a delicious drink.

I bought this sake a year ago!
The aroma is fruity.
The taste is sweet and the aftertaste is refreshing.
It is delicious!
I bought some more this weekend. The amount of nigori is amazing. Not only is it sweet, but it is crisp. I enjoy rolling it around on my tongue.
...and Chiko was asking "Why do Japanese people like yamoro?" 😊.
Hourai, whatever you drink, is delicious!
