ODAcchi
I bought the "Hatsu Hououmida" after seeing the information that came through the mail magazine.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo Kasumi unfiltered raw brewed using 100% Yamada Nishiki, contract rice from the Nishiwaki area of Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 40%.
It is a blend of the first (Ararunushi) and last (Oshikiri) portions of the brewing tank of the high-class sake, which normally costs 5,000 to 10,000 yen for 1.8L, and is sold in limited quantities only at limited sake retailers.
When I drank it in a glass after opening the bottle, it gave me the impression of a well-balanced, modern sake.
When I drank it in a wine glass two days after opening the bottle, I felt the acidity more strongly and enjoyed it with homemade pickles.
