Ubusuna2023 穂増 五農醸 kawamatsuri
としひこ
I recently purchased a bottle of Sanzu's Hozumasu Go Nozou brew and remember. I had bought a bottle a long time ago: ‼️
I went to the fridge and found a bottle of the same Homasu Gononozo in the back.... But this one was a special one, a summer-only one called kawamatsuri. I don't know what the difference is! LOL!
I probably should have drank it earlier because it is a fresh sake, and the unique shwashiness of the sanshu might have faded away, but there is no point in saying that now. However, since I noticed it, I decided to drink it as soon as possible.
As a result, there was no problem, and the schwash was present. I have no way to confirm if the taste has changed since its release, but I am sure it hasn't changed much? At least at a level that I can't tell.
Is it lighter than usual because it is a summer sake? I don't think the strength is the same, but that's the impression I get. The sweetness is also moderate and refreshing. Combined with the strong shwashiness, you can finish it in no time at all. It's like the sansho that is so easy to drink is even easier to drink. It would be a great drink on a hot summer day. It's good even now, though.
