Hori
We received our family's mainstay spring sake, Atago no Matsu Harukoi.
Breaking the rule of drinking in the order of purchase, I couldn't wait to open it on the day of purchase.
It looks more vibrant in color than last year. It was also more active than last year, and I let it overflow a little when I opened the bottle.
The mouthfeel is smoother than last year, and the fine rice grains that used to feel like strawberry grains are completely absent. The taste is still the same, sweet and sour, with a strawberry shake feel that makes you wonder if they really don't use strawberries.
We enjoyed the divine pairing of strawberries & cream cheese wrapped in prosciutto earlier this year.
The strange sensation of the seamless connection between the snack and the alcohol flavor is unique to this combination.
I have already bought one more bottle, but it looks like I will run out, so I will have to consider adding more in the next batch.
