Sake Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture - Honkin Junmai Hiyoroshi
A simple, serious junmai sake from a brewery by Lake Suwa.
But the freshness is a little stimulating on the tongue, and it's nice to really feel where the name Honkin comes from (brewing the real best sake)!
14 degrees, 59% polished rice, Miyamanishiki from Suwa
It is so smooth that you may wonder if it is Yamahai. Of course, it has the feel of Yamahai, but it is definitely a sake that should be drunk slowly. It is definitely a sake that should be drunk slowly.
It has a unique flavor and smoothness like an old sake. It is supported by strong acidity. This is a product that is amber not in color but in taste. I would like to buy it again! I would not recommend it to those who prefer beautiful sake.
2025 New Year Suwa Gokura Tour (3) Honkin
Junmai Daiginjo Miyamanishiki
I have had it. Characterized by its soft flowery aroma and moist sweetness.
Junmai Daiginjo Miyamanishiki No. 7 Yeast
The character is very different from the above, with sweet and sour, umami, and bitterness.
The gentle aroma of the aftertaste is also strong in this one. The gentle aroma of the aftertaste can be felt here as well and is very good.
Junmai Hiyoroshi
The taste is acidic and slightly sweet. The aftertaste is bitter and rich.
Soupin Taichi Honjozo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake
Fresh and easy to drink.
The first half is light with a beautiful sweet and sour taste,
The second half is tangy, deep and satisfying.
Kurumafu-san, I see you are enjoying your tour of the 5 Suwa breweries 🎵.
I was there a few years ago and was very impressed with the Honkin ✨.
I really want to try the Honkin this year 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san!
Honkin is my favorite sake, especially for its aroma: ✨️
The variations have changed since I was here last summer and I really enjoyed it!
This is my last post for this year.
I had a great time this year thanks to all of you. Thank you very much😄
I bought this sake at Hasegawa Sake Shop when I went to see my daughter dance at Tokyo Dome.
I tasted it in Suwa but bought other specs. My husband was so mad at me why I buy Nagano sake in Tokyo 🤣.
I wanted to taste the light sharpness of Miyamanishiki in this gold.
My son's wife's family sent us oysters and we had them grilled, but the gas alarm went off and I was surprised. I was surprised when the gas alarm went off.
Oysters and honkin are the best.
Luteltemi, I'm jealous of the book money you missed out on buying: ⤴️
Oysters and sake are the best 🎵.
Thank you so much again this year. I look forward to working with you again next year 🙇.
Well, have a happy new year 🌄.
Good evening, Mr. Rutemi. The end of the year spent with the pairing of Miyamanishiki's light and sharp Honkin with fresh oysters. It was nice to meet you in Tokyo 😊 Thank you for your hospitality this year! Have a great New Year's 👋
Luteltemi, good evening ^_^.
Oysters and sake, that's good👍.
I didn't buy Honkin during my trip to Nagano, I'd like to drink it if I have a chance 😊.
Have a happy new year 🙇.
Good evening, Hirupeco😄.
It was a pleasure to talk to you this year. The surprise oysters allowed me to enjoy with the real gold 😄 Please come back next year 🙇🐍.
Good evening, Manta😄.
I was happy when I found it because I am far from the special dealers in my hometown. Sake and oysters are delicious 😋Please have a nice new year.
I look forward to seeing you next year 😄🐍.
Good evening, Rutemi 😃Oyster kankan-yaki. Isn't it the best sake partner 😆💕I had a lot of fun with you this year ‼️ and I hope to see you again next year 🙇♀️
Hi Lutertemi 😃Happy New Year 🌅.
I can't find any other word to describe it other than psycho 😍 oysters 🦪 cankanyaki for Honkin that I would love to buy in Tokyo 🤗.
I look forward to working with you this year 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Mr. Wakata 🎍I hope we will have many opportunities to meet in the new year 😄Thank you again for your support in the new year 🙇.
Oysters and sake go well together.
I was surprised when the gas alarm went off: ‼️
It was 🤣.
Happy New Year to you, Jay & Nobby 🎍 and I wish you a happy new year 🙇.
The oysters and sake were great. The Honkin tasted better than the one we tasted in Suwa😋.

On New Year's Eve, the last sake of the year was Honkin Junmai Daiginjo No. 7 yeast, served in a Bizen ware sake cup!
I didn't look at the price😅No, I should have, but you'd think the 3000 yen range would be the price for a single bottle, wouldn't you?
I was surprised to see that I paid almost 9,000 yen for four 4-gou bottles 🙀.
The lady (lady) at the liquor store told me "as expected" but no, no...
Miyamanishiki ALL Suwa sake
The Suwa sake that is different from the recent sharp and challenging Honkin.
It has a solid drinking experience, a Miyama-like acidity, and a crisp dry taste.
It has sweetness and umami aftertaste, and is delicious as a sake!
I've been drinking a lot of sweet sake recently, so this kind of sake is great to finish off the day, and it's a locally produced sake!
In a good way, Motokin-san betrayed me!
Lower the price!
Have a Happy New Year everyone!
Gyaban, thank you very much for your help this year. I look forward to working with you again next year 🙇.
Gyaban, I hope you have a happy new year too 🌄.
It felt like a less sweet type of this gold, but easy to drink... but the moment I put it in my mouth, I felt uncomfortable 🤔.
I was told the answer to the discomfort but I can't write it here 🤫.
Yum!
I went to a liquor store to buy sake for my New Year's celebration. The only "Yamahai" sake available was Honkin, so I was attracted by the Yamahai label and bought it.
It is easy to drink!
It has a strong taste and is refreshing. It tastes like Yamahai.
I like it.
It complements food without being too assertive. It doesn't smell of alcohol, but it has a solid taste. It is not gorgeous, but the overall taste is well balanced.
Anyway, it's good 😋.
Honkin Shuzo Suppin Taichi Honjozo Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 18%.
This is the first new sake we brought from Ueda the week before last, and we compared it with the November hi-ire. The alcohol content is also different, but this one has more sourness and umami flavor in the mouth. The Hi-ire is more refreshing. The mellowness is better in the SUPPIN.
By the way, I thought of comparing these two bottles, but I lost track of where I put them and finally found them by pulling out the entire refrigerator. I may have to make an inventory list💦.
Honkin Karakuchi Taichi Honjozo 720ml
Rice used : Nagano rice
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 15%.
We visited the brewery in November and purchased this signature sake of Honkin. It is easy to drink and refreshing when served cold.
I heard it can also be heated, so maybe I will try heating it up tomorrow 😄.
Honkin Yamahai Junmai Miyamanishiki 720ml
Ingredient rice: Miyamanishiki
(100% Miyamanishiki produced in Suwa, Shinshu, Japan)
Alcohol content: 14%.
Rice polishing ratio: 59
This is the sake we had when we visited the brewery on 11/24. Love to natural lactic acid. ❤️ is cool. Crisp, sweet and sour, delicious 😋.
Forgot to raise about a month ago, log available.
Sweet aroma like cinnamon baked apple.
The taste is delicious. The rice flavor is firm.
Sourness and a little fruitiness.
There is a slight bitterness and it is moderately sharp.
Taste 3.5/5
After the turbulent October and November, we are left with only the hectic month of December, but before that we can take a breather, so let's take our time and enjoy a drink 🍶.
On a day like this, I wanted to open something a little drunk, so here's what I brought out!
Honkin Junmai Ginjo Suwa Hi-ire
The label on the back says that the water, rice, and yeast were all brewed in Suwa, and it's full of love for Suwa!
［The sake is cool and refreshing with a hint of apple flavor.]
The aroma is cool, with a hint of apple-like rice aroma, and the mouthfeel is firm and juicy with a hint of sweetness, followed by a sharp sweetness, apple-like aroma through the nose, and a lingering bitterness at the end.
［Mokkiri.]
A sweet aroma that gives the impression of fresh apples, a rich umami, followed by a bitter taste, and then a refreshing aftertaste.
The entrée was a Shinshu souvenir bought at Nakashimaya Sake Shop on a trip to Shinshu. The entrée was a composition of Shinshu vs. Echizen with Canadian horse sashimi and local Hiramasa sashimi, both from Shinshu.
The chewy flavor of the horse sashimi is accentuated by the umami and bitterness that can be felt when combined with the chewy flavor of the horse sashimi.
The fourth one is Chirimen Sansho (Japanese pepper) from Kyoto, which Ao-chan gave me at the Sake-no-wa Kansai Off-line Meeting!
I was busy with work and had it as an accompaniment to rice💦Thank you, Ao-chan ✨!
Hi Jive, hello ☀️
Finally a break, then another hectic December 😅Thanks for your work 🙇.
I hope you'll be able to refresh your spirits with some good honkin and another tasty entrée 😊.
Hi Jive 😃.
Looks like you are busy until the end of the year 🥲Thanks for your time 😌.
Honkin-san! It's so good that it makes me want to drink it again 🤗, and horse meat is awesome 🤗.
In case you're wondering what we buy in the supermarket, it's from Uruguay 🇺🇾 😄
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Looks like the turbulent daily life will continue a little longer 💦Please take care of yourself 😌.
Sake soaks you up in the midst of all that ✨Beautiful sake and plenty of healing with the sashimi 😉.
Good morning, Jive-san.
Thank you for a turbulent 2 months🍀You seem to be busy at the end of the year, but please take care of yourself and enjoy your drinking activities🎵.
I've put off buying this one in the past because I was worried about buying it. Next time I want to drink it immensely😊.
Good morning, Jive 🐥.
I'm surprised you left it here! It's such a juicy and tasty sake to go with this season 😊The snacks are also souvenirs from Shinshu ❣️ and it's quintessential that you've imagined them on a tray ✨.
Hi Jive 😃
Thanks for a turbulent October and November!
I'm sure the rest of the month will be even more turbulent.
You can enjoy the different flavors in the sake cups 😁.
I'm always getting gifts from you 🙏.
I love rice with chirimen sansho 🍚😃.
Good evening, Maru🌛.
December is a very hectic month for me because I have to do the usual "thousand knocks of simple tasks" and digest all the work for the new year 💦.
I'm going to have a lot of events going on, so I'm going to take time to drink and reset in between ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
The end of the year is hectic, but the beginning of the new year is also packed with work, so in a way it's a marathon until the new year 💦.
This is the only standard "book gold" I'm happy to buy ✨.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine 🌛.
I'm not sure why I'm so busy this year, but I'm hoping to run through it somehow 😁.
A good drink really soaks into a tired body ✨.
Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
Shinshu sake is very deep ✨.
They all have something in common, but they all have their own personality and are all delicious 😁.
Please try "Honkin" for yourself 🍶.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
It's been a few months since I've been able to open the bottle, but I've been thinking about doing so 💦.
The last push was for two reasons: to reward myself and the expiration date of the horse sashimi was coming up 🤣.
Good evening, Ao-chan!
It's fun to compare drinking vessels because the taste varies depending on the thickness and material of the mouthpiece 😁.
The chirimen you gave me was more refreshing and spicy than sweet, so I'm going to try it with sake next time!
Alcohol content: 15%.
Omachi
Rice polishing ratio: 55
At a sake party in Tokyo. It was given to us by a person who brought it as a souvenir from Nagano.
The origin of the name comes from the desire to "brew the real best (gold) sake".
This sake has a tingling acidity on the tip of the tongue, but at the same time it has a sweet and sour flavor that is typical of Omachi. It also has a fruity nuance like grapes.
I could not feel any alcohol.
