Hanagaki純米60 無濾過生原酒 第３弾 さかほまれ
一本義 仙介🇺🇦
This sake is from my hometown Echizen-Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture).
It is apparently a limited edition sake that is only wholesaled to a limited number of stores. Thank goodness there is a sake store in Kobe (Teramura Sake Shop in Hyogo Ward) that sells this sake, and it is only a 10-minute drive from my office. I got it before going to work.
This is a series of sake made with different rice four times a year. Up until two years ago, it was made with Yamadanishiki, but since last year, it has been made with Sakahomare, a rising star of local sake rice from Fukui. Last year, I couldn't buy it by a touch, so this is my revenge.
It has a strong and vivid acidity characteristic of nama-shu.
The spiciness behind it is also vivid and sharp!
There is no sticky feeling at all. It has a dignified dryness with a refreshing sweetness that is mainly dry.
Actually, I am not a fan of the strong sweetness of nama-zake, but this spiciness is really good to tighten things up.
You will not get tired of drinking it.
How about when it is warmed up?
The soft sweetness becomes pleasant.
It has a nourishing taste.
But I would prefer it cold.
After all, sake from my hometown is good.
