This is Honda Store's Junmai sake.
It is made with 20% Yamada Nishiki for "richness" and 80% Gohyakumangoku for "lightness".
Let's start with room temperature.
When the bottle is opened, there is a sweet aroma reminiscent of pineapple.
It has a rich rice flavor that is unique to Junmai sake.
The acidity is strong and quite dry. However, the aroma is nice, so it is not too heavy. There is a lingering aroma of sake in the mouth for a while after drinking. The aroma that goes through the nose is very alcoholic.
When you drink it cold, the sweetness and aroma is reduced, and it becomes a spicy sake with rice flavor and acidity. The aftertaste also becomes light and refreshing.
I prefer to drink it at room temperature.
I'm sure this sake would be delicious with simmered meat and potatoes or some other things cooked in a sweet way 🙃
This product is also available on Amazon ( 2000 yen/720mL). If you're interested in this product, please get in touch.
PS: Carrots and potatoes have been too expensive lately, so I gave up on the meat and potatoes and won with the chicken and radish stewed in the style of cubes 😋
As expected, the aroma, sharpness and acidity of this sake goes with the food without losing the strong flavor of the stew 😉
It's a competent reserve drink.
