I was told that this is a limited edition product made by Kobayashi Shuzo and Senkou in collaboration with an ancient variety, so I immediately jumped at the chance to try it.
This is Houou Mita brewed by Kobayashi Shuzo.
Aikoku...a rare sake rice cultivated in Tochigi Prefecture during the Taisho era (1912-1926). It is one of the ancient varieties that are said to be the "roots of sake rice.
This is a limited edition brewed using Tochigi Aikoku No. 3, which was restored in cooperation with the Agricultural Promotion Office and an agricultural high school, and brewed with a "nama-hashiroshi" brewing method.
The raw material rice is Tochigi Aikoku No. 3.
The rice polishing ratio is undisclosed, but many lots are brewed as Junmai Daiginjo, and the rice polishing ratio is around 50%.
The alcohol content is 15%.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is fruity and citrus-like, with a gorgeous smell of pears, white peaches, and muscat.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, pale yellow-green color and a smooth, silky texture.
The first sip reveals a smooth mouthfeel, followed by a mellow umami flavor that spreads throughout the palate. After the clear acidity and slight bitterness, the astringent taste of grains rounds out the flavor. The lingering finish is crisp and clean.
It is of course delicious chilled, but the more it is served at room temperature, the deeper the flavor becomes.
Hououmida, which we have not had for a long time, is still delicious.
I am looking forward to comparing it with Aikoku Sentori.

Hello, Daddy Takeru😃!
I'm sure Tochigi residents would jump at the chance to see this two-top collaboration! Both are delicious, but Nobby was in favor of Mita-san: ‼️

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I haven't had Bida for a long time and thought it was delicious. I think I prefer Bida as I get a lot of Senkou-san 😆.
