Hori
The second bottle of Hello World 4th was opened.
Hello World is the private brand of SakeLabo Tokyo, a sake bar in Kita-ku, Tokyo.
I have never visited the restaurant, but I came across their YouTube channel when I started drinking sake in earnest, and I have been studying sake through their videos ever since.
The first bottle was before I became interested in sake, but I have been fortunate enough to purchase the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th bottles.
I received the first bottle immediately after purchase, but decided to let the second bottle sit for a bit before drinking, so I opened the bottle after two months of storage in the refrigerator.
The first bottle had a clean, light taste that overturned the image of the sake as being made using the original sake yeast, and had a sweet and sour, refreshingly fruity flavor.
Of course, the taste did not change significantly with time, but it seemed to have a fuller flavor than the first bottle. The light mouthfeel, which seemed to soak into the body without resistance, gave the impression of a slightly thicker and slightly more rewarding taste.
There is talk that the next Hello World will be an active nigori like the second one, so I am already looking forward to the next release.
