Sweet and sour and fruity, with a rather strong sake flavor and a freshness that makes every corner of the mouth water, it is a very satisfying sake.
The bottle design is modern and stylish. It is seamless.
I got it at a restaurant called COVO in Sakuragamiya, where I stopped by on my way to see the cherry blossoms.
It was a nice restaurant with a liquor store on the first floor and an Italian restaurant on the second floor, and I would love to go there if it were in my neighborhood.
The restaurant has a dreamy system where you can go downstairs to the liquor store and choose a brand of sake from the shelves of the liquor store, which was very intriguing. I chose Houou Mida from the menu.
It was soft on the palate, with sweetness and acidity, but surprisingly, it had a classic flavor that was very well balanced in the back, making it a very drinkable sake.
It was delicious with the cheese and honey pizza.
Good evening. The restaurant was a bit small, but stylish and the menu was very attractive. I had my first glass of Houou Mita, which was very good.
I was also very interested in the variety of plum wine available at the liquor store downstairs.
The very cool design of the bottle and the claim "Japan's newest sake brewery" caught my attention. The store had black and red bottles, but I bought the black one because it was the standard.
The aroma was fresh, with a refreshing acidity and light gassiness, and the taste was watery and modern, with a classic umami behind it.
As it is a draft sake, it will become more classic and relaxed after a few days from the opening.
It was delicious with meat and potatoes.
It has a sweet aroma.
The mouthfeel is soft, with a gentle sweetness that flows along with a firm sense of alcohol. It has a classic impression with little acidity.
It seems to go well with light-flavored Japanese food.
It was purchased at a sake event at Yodobashi.
It is a delicious, modern sake with a sweet aroma, sour and slightly sweet, but elegant without being over the top.
It also has a luxurious feel that is perfect for New Year's.
It is a gift and comes in a paulownia wood box for a luxurious feel. Atmosphere is important.
It is quite classic and has a clean aftertaste without any cloying taste. It was delicious with Osechi.
The aroma is sweet fruity, but with a firm alcohol feel.
On the palate, the rounded acidity comes first, then the strong sweetness fades in smoothly. Perhaps it is because it is sweet all the way through to the finish, but the alcohol, which is 16%, seems very light.
This is the kind of sake that one should not drink too much of.
It was delicious with warm soba noodles.
It has a fruity yet robust sake aroma, a sweet and alcoholic taste, and a light bitterness in the aftertaste.
Surprisingly, it was like a food sake, and went well with ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) and yuzu kosho (Japanese citrus pepper) as an accompaniment to soy milk nabe (hot pot with soy milk).
I had no idea that my local supermarket carries this kind of thing.
The words "Beware of explosions when opening the bottle" made my heart skip a beat. The clerk carefully explained to me when to open the bottle and how to store it, and I took it home with me.
To put it simply, it is a sweet and sour gruel with a slight whiffle, and when the whiffle disappears, you can feel the alcohol, but it all disappears as soon as you swallow it.
It was delicious and went well with the salmon cream cheese and miso soup I bought at another supermarket.
The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and sour. While it has a tropical sweetness, it also has an equally strong acidity, and the overall flavor is strong.
The sake is satisfying on its own, but it also goes surprisingly well with food.
It was delicious with grilled pork with ginger.
