I stayed at Togari Onsen in GW and compared Hokkou Masamune and Mizuo and found that Mizuo was better, but I bought two bottles of Hokkou Masamune at Kakuguchi Sake Brewery in my neighborhood, which is only a few minutes drive away 😁.
When I checked out, I asked the owner about the sake and he told me that Mizuo's brewery was flooded by the previous heavy rains and that they took the opportunity to make some modifications to improve the taste and that it is now more popular than Hokko's 🤔.
By the way, what kind of sake (Junmai, Honjyo, etc.) do both of them serve? I asked.
The owner said it was probably 2nd class sake 🤔...
(I don't know if that's true now 😅)
I opened the bottle and the aroma was refreshing.
It's not nigori-ish, but rather crisp and slightly spicy. There is no sweetness.
It is delicious cooled down in this hot season.
I would like to have some tadacha beans as a snack 😁.
