Houou Mita assemblage limited edition
Based on Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture, this is a one-time fire-refining of Aizan and Gohyakumangoku.
The rice polishing is 35-50% higher than that of the commercial brews, and both the rice and the polishing are of high spec.
The aroma is sweet and capricious, with a hint of milkyness.
Unlike the aroma, the mouthfeel is smooth and expansive, with a beautifully clear acidity and a gentle umami flavor.
The sweetness is also well balanced and can be enjoyed on its own, but it is also easy to pair with food.
I personally feel that even the recent Hououmida is less flamboyant, but it seems to me that it is a bottle that has both.
The softness of the aftertaste and even the lingering bitterness are gentle.
