Hori
We received a bottle of Hozasu Gonouzou from Sanchi no Hozasu.
This is my first sake from Homasu.
We had stocked up too much and reluctantly opened the bottle after 4 months of sub-zero storage since purchase.
Although it had been stored for some time, when the bottle was opened, it was vigorous, with a powerful puff of gas. When poured into a glass, it bubbled and you could feel the bubbles when you drank it.
The taste is the usual Sanzu-like deliciousness, but compared to the Yamadanishiki we are accustomed to drinking, the flavor is richer and more powerful.
Just as Yamadanishiki has a grape flavor and Kako has a berry fruit nuance, Hozu has a flavor reminiscent of green fruits such as melon and muscat.
It is not a summer sake, but it is a low alcohol with a slight carbonation, so it was a perfect ending to a hot day.
After drinking Yamada-Nishiki, Kago, and Hozu, I was once again convinced that all of the Sanchi are delicious.
