Hoken純米酒 レトロラベル
けいけい
Junmai sake blended with the seme portion of junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo. I quite liked the retro label, but not so much for my wife.
It has a deep umami and a gentle sweetness that makes you feel you are drinking a good rice sake, though it has almost none of the classic junmai sake unpleasantness.
Rather than being sharp, the impression is that it has achieved a clear flavor while retaining complexity.
I tried it heated, but it didn't have as much flavor spread as I expected, and it tasted better when drunk seasonally snow-cold.
