This is the first time I've had a bottle of honjozo. I was curious about the taste, so I bought it.
It smells and tastes like a combination of dry honjozo sake and nama-shu. I used to drink Junmaishu when I drank namaishu, so I was surprised to learn that there was such a thing as namaishu! I was surprised.
After the umami and sweetness have passed through, the inside of your mouth is washed away as if it were swept away by running water, making it a super dry sake. It was great when I paired it with rape blossoms and nishin. It's delicious.
