We were given a rare opportunity to drink outside and went to Sake Koi Japan, where rare sake is available. It was their anniversary celebration, and there were some great sakes on the lineup. I'll check in later, but first, a brand I was curious about, Houken from Kure in Hiroshima! We often see it in dancyu and other books. The brewer, Mr. Doitsu, seems to be a famous person. It was almost at the end of the first bottle, so the taste was much more rounded. Perhaps because of this, it is not super dry, but rather has a mild umami and sweetness from the rice, and it finishes clean and crisp. It is rather classic, but I had an image of it as a man's sake with more gusto! I had imagined it to be more like a classic, but with more gusto! I want to buy and drink it myself! This is indeed Hiroshima sake!
