My daughter received a set of four HINEMOS as a souvenir. It is a new style of sake that has direct sales stores in Harajuku and Nakameguro, and is a new way for people who are not used to drinking sake to try it. Of the 12 varieties, the set included NIJI, SANJI, YOJI, and GOJI.
YOJI has a slightly carbonated lemon liqueur-like flavor and is suitable as an aperitif.
NIJI and SANJI are described as dry, but they are lighter and less sake-like to go well with Western food.
GOJI is described as a clear amazake-like drink, but it's like drinking homemade syrup😅......... but what a great match for pasta with lots of melted cheese, served with garlic shrimp sauce❗️
If you drink it thinking it's sake, you'll be surprised, but it's fun to play around with pairing it with olive oil, cheese, cream sauces, and other dishes that are normally difficult to pair with sake: ❣️
