The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix 8
Oita Sake's Houjun booth, where we drank a while ago.
Founded in 1868, this sake brewery was closed in 1988.
In 2008, the brewery resumed production upon the return of the sixth generation, Junpei Komatsu, who trained at the Ikemoto Brewery (Biwa no Chouju) in Shiga, the Drunken Whale Brewery, and the Senju Brewery in Kochi.
The small, family-owned brewery is working to revive Oita Mitsui, which disappeared in the 1960s.
Houjun aims for "sake that plays a supporting role.
Houjun Special Junmai Orikagarami
It has a lactic acid taste, and is not too sweet, but has a clean and crisp finish. Bottle-fermented, lightly cloudy.
Houjun Shiro Koji Junmai Namaishu
The freshness of the nama-shu stands out more than the acidity, compared to the hi-ire sake we drank the other day. The hi-ire sake was very sour, though.
There is a place where you can buy Hojun, so let's drink Oita Sake as well.

Hi Nemuchi 😃
I'm curious about Houjun, as it seems to be my favorite strain and is surprisingly available at major liquor stores 👀.
Orikagarami sounds delicious 😋.

Kab, good evening 🌛I haven't had much luck with the Yujun, but the Shiro Koji was pretty tart 😅The Orikarami was a bit modern, but it was nice and sharp with a low sweetness 😋Please try the Yujun if you see it 😊.
