The third bottle was Houyo from our local Miyagi sake, as it was a potato stew party.
This Uchigasaki Sake Brewery is said to be the oldest sake brewery in Miyagi. I couldn't find it when I went back home, but my husband found it at Teramura-san 💡 As expected ✨.
I was curious about the 0-day hi-ire, so I looked it up and found out that only the "arabashiri" portion pressed in the tank was bottled and hi-ired on the same day.
Indeed, the freshness of the first sip is impressive. It has a fresh sweetness, but it also has a sharpness that I like. I also tried drinking it warmed, and the acidity seemed stronger when heated. But with an alcohol content of 14%, Houyang is light and easy to drink.
It was great to drink outside with my sake buddies on a nice day in the afternoon 😊✨.
