San-do 2023 Homasu Gonohozo special summer limited edition kawamatsuri.
The specifications are for a standard Hozasu Gononoso sake made from Hozasu produced in the Kikuchi River basin, with a raw yeast stock, wooden vat, no fertilizer, and no pesticides, but this is a special summer-only kawamatsuri named after an ancient Japanese farming ritual river festival!
It has a melon-like nuanced heady aroma, a refreshing gasiness, and while the sweetness is milder than regular Homasu, the impression of bright acidity stands out!
It is whispered that the taste is close to the fantastic Effervescent, but I see what you mean. It is a wine with depth and deliciousness with acidity and complexity reminiscent of this white wine. It was a perfect marriage with persimmon and Bouffala mozzarella cheese!
