Hououmita is the most delicious sake in Japan in my opinion. After a long time, I found "Houou Kinshou", which is not so easy to find in internet search and its distribution is limited even in Tochigi prefecture. It is wonderful, close to the Hououmida I used to drink as my everyday sake when Hououmida was not as branded as it is now. When I was working at Tochigi Jusco, I used to drink it every day. When you put it in your mouth, the freshness of the water and the gorgeousness of the yeast come together at once. If you drink it for the first time, you might be surprised that there is such a yeast! I thought you would be surprised. It is probably more gorgeous and intense than any other sake. Then, the soft underground water of southern Tochigi Prefecture, which has flowed down from the Nikko mountain range for hundreds of years, comes in smoothly. By the way, I drank it with Iwashita's fresh ginger as a snack. It's a prefectural food that no one in Tochigi dislikes, but the other day, a young employee of my company (from Gunma Prefecture) made a bombshell comment, "Iwashita's new ginger is so bad, isn't it? After that, to encourage him to reflect on his actions, two fresh ginger sticks were shoved into his nose. His face was covered with Miya's sauce... I'd like to drink sake with the Miya's sauce on the side. I hope that the power of the kibuna will make the corona go away.

It's truly a sake born from the bounty of Tochigi! I always drink only regular Hououmita, so I'll look for it when I go to Tochigi. A Saitama native told me that if you pour Miya no Tare over fresh ginger, a new harmony is born!
