The day we compared Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 and NeXT drinks.
Not wanting to stop there, we were treated to a series of sakes that I would love to drink at home but for some reason can't afford to buy every year.
As a fan of Kangiku, I am ashamed to say that I have yet to drink it at home, Hashu Honor.
I have come across it on display in stores, but because of the time of year and the overlap of the sake I want to buy right before every year, I cannot buy Haneju Homare due to storage space limitations.
I was thankful to be able to drink it out of the store.
The aroma is mild and modestly fruity.
The attack is clear on the palate.
It has a thick, juicy, Kangiku-like sweetness and smooth acidity.
The overt aroma is sweet and soft.
The clear umami and the slight bitter astringency are gently tightened.
The aroma and flavor change depending on the sake container and how long the bottle has been open, so it is difficult to make a blanket statement, but it was crisp and clearer than I had expected.
It had a taste of sweetness that is typical of Kangiku, so I thought it might be interesting to let it sit for a while.
