This is indeed a smooth, unctuous, and easy to drink sake. A sake for everyday drinking. I chilled it a little too much, but no problem. I'll try a full size next time.
Not too sweet, not too spicy, alcoholic? but a natural aftertaste. Gentle and mild. It is not very impressive, but it is an easygoing sake. I will try it again.
Crisp mouthfeel. The alcohol is crisp without being cloying, and the simple aftertaste is very pleasing. A pleasant sake that is attractive as a chilled drink after a long day of sweating.
This is a refreshing "summer-oriented" Houmizu. The aftertaste is as refreshing as ever, but the initial feeling of alcohol on the palate is much less, which is good on a hot day. Wishing for the success of the Awaodori Festival starting today.
