Chokki
Horaisen Bessen
15% 60% brewing alcohol 720ml 1155yen
Purchased at a convenience store in Nagoya.
It is dry with acidity. The alcohol taste is too strong and sharp. It has a coffee and shochu taste.
The brewer's alcohol in this Bessen is made by the company itself. I don't know how much it affects the taste, but if the discomfort I feel is reflected in the quality of the sake, I would suggest not brewing your own sake.
Brewing alcohol is usually made from sugar cane or corn, but this brewery distills sake lees.
When I saw a blogger's article from 2017, the ingredients were described as "shochu" instead of "brewer's alcohol. I wonder if they dared to use "brewing alcohol"?
It is safe to drink it hot.
The price is cheap, but it is appropriate.
The best Horai-izumi is "Kai. （The best Horai-izumi is "KABE" (可、べし).
