Noguchinaohikokenkyujo本醸造 無濾過生原酒 五百万石 2019
Nontan
Tonight we received another bottle.
It is a bottle of Honjozo from the Naohiko Noguchi Research Institute, which was given to us as a gift from a traveler to Kanazawa.
It is a 19% alcohol by volume sake.
I was a little prepared for the taste, but when I sipped it, I found it to be lighter and lighter than I expected, and the umami flavor gradually spread to the back of my mouth. However, the aftertaste is short and crisp.
It is a perfect match for Kanazawa's delicious cuisine, and is sure to be enjoyed with a cup of sake or a bowl of chopsticks.
We enjoyed it cold and at room temperature, and will try it lukewarm on the weekend.
