On the way back from the liquor store in Okegawa, I visited Hosono Shoten in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture. It's a newer shop compared to other liquor stores.
I asked the young owner, who is the second generation of the family, "Is there any sake that you don't handle much elsewhere that you want people to try? Is there any sake that you want me to try? He recommended Yachiyo Shuzo's ROOM.
The female brewer at Yachiyo Shuzo was trained at Sumikawa Shuzo, the brewer of Toyo Bijin.
When I did some research, I found that almost 90% of the sake shipped from Yachiyo Shuzo is consumed in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is why you don't see it in other stores.
I immediately bought some and went home and had a cup, and was surprised at the taste.
Let's say it's the kind of sweet, fruity, dangerous sake that Kai from Sakelab Tokyo would take up.
After the gorgeous aroma, the elegant sweetness spreads. The bitterness is almost non-existent, and the sake is just beautiful! I love it so much! I happened to be drinking Jikin as well, and it was just as good! I was also surprised.
There are only a few stores that carry it, so please visit Hosono Shoten or order delivery and try the ROOM! I recommend it.
