Hououbiden髭判 純米大吟醸 無濾過本生

2025.22nd.
Houou Mita, which I receive for some reason. I bought the bearded seal that I was interested in for the lottery of Kako in Sandon. (By the way, Kako was not selected. Well, I guess I did. lol)
I wondered why it was a mustache, and it seems that it comes from a feature of rice called Kame-iki.
Kame-iki is said to be a mutation of Kame-no-o, but it has a very mellow sweetness that is completely different from Kame-no-o. It is said to have acidity, but the sweetness was stronger.
It is a rice that makes you wonder how it evolved from Kame-no-o, but it tastes very similar to Omachi. The sweetness is also very nice.
Whatever the circumstances, I am very happy to have found this sake. I think Kobayashi Shuzo is a wonderful brewery that always produces high quality and unique sake.
It is very strange that the taste is the exact opposite of Senkou in the same Tochigi area.
I would like to have Houou Mita sake again.
Thank you for the sake.
