Hori
We received a Junmai Ginjo Akita Sake Komachi from Hanamaru.
It is a four-pack bottle, which is not easy to come across, and it is also the first time I have ever had a bottle of raw sake.
It has a smooth, thick texture and a shiny, glistening appearance that is the opposite of fresh and crisp.
The taste is fruity and sweet, with a deep umami flavor and no cloying taste.
The Junmai Sake Rikuwada and Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki I have tasted so far had a sharp alcohol taste and a sharp spiciness in the latter half, but this Akita Sake Komachi has none of that, and has a gentle flavor that keeps you immersed in its deliciousness until the end.
Hanayu seems to make some of their sake only in one-sho bottles, but as a home drinker, I would be happy if they would make more four-sho bottles.
