I was attracted by the glittering label that suddenly caught my eye and took home a bottle of Hou no Mai, a fertility prayer festival! 😋
When poured into a glass, it has a fresh and sweet aroma reminiscent of apple-like fruitiness.
As you take a sip, its rich sweetness fills your mouth. However, it is not just sweet. The complex umami of this noble sake is layered in layers, giving you a luxurious sensation as if you were drinking a fine dessert wine.
The luxurious sweetness felt as soon as you take a sip does not last as long as expected, and turns into an aftertaste that makes you wonder 😲.
The sweetness, which I find a bit too much for me to drink with a meal, is perfect for this hot time of the year when I drink it with a soda!
It's so casual that you'd think it was a sangria, perfect for an aperitif or a midday drink 😁.
