The liquor store recommended that the brewer also said this honjozo was delicious. The color is clear. The aroma is mild, with hints of rice malt, melon, and pineapple. It has a nice sweetness, a hint of sourness, minerality, and astringency, and is delicious at room temperature. No, this is really good. It's Asahi Kiku, so I heated it up right away. This is delicious! The balance of sweetness and acidity is just right, and the astringency is nice. There's nothing special about it, but that's why it tastes so good because it's so ordinary. If you like it, it can be heavy, but this is not that kind of sake. A bottle costs 2,200 yen. Too good a deal. I wish they would have this in stores. Especially if they are not particular about heated sake. I'm serious. If you're going to have this kind of sake in a store, I want you to have this kind of sake. If they serve it for 550 yen for a single brew, it's a god thing.

Good evening, Tarou-san. I didn't know they have Asahi Kiku Honjozo. It's absolutely delicious 🍶♨️✨I'm sure you'll be a regular at any restaurant that carries this kind of sake 😊.

I forgot to add the photo. I don't see any Honjozo in a google search. I don't think it's something you would go out of your way to find, but it would be nice to have it nearby.

I've never drank much Sake. I drink sake at izakaya (Japanese style pubs), but to be honest, I don't really know what sake tastes like at izakaya. The temperature and cleanliness of the tableware is unknown. It is said to be the hottest sake in Sesshikoyama. The color is clear. White flowers and fruits. Pineapple, melon. A little bit of muddy koji (malted rice). The taste is indeed dry, dry and tangy, but the sweetness is also there, and the sweetness and mineral-like astringency are the main taste. It is not particularly tasty, but with buckwheat noodles, this kind of sake is better than one with a strange sourness. When heated, the sweetness increases, but the overall balance remains the same. Even though it has a high sake content, it is a bit different from Sanin-style sake. The sweetness is rather strong. It has a nuance similar to the minerality of Ryuriki. This may be a good thing, since they wanted to make a spicy sake anyway.

This sake is sold at Amboa, a liquor store in Shimane Prefecture. It is lightly colored but almost transparent. The aroma is of fruits and some malted rice. The nose has pineapple, banana, melon, rice malt, white flowers, and a little bit of dead leaves. Very tasty at room temperature. The sweetness and acidity are the main flavors, but they are not overpoweringly sweet, and the sweetness and acidity coexist in a humble manner. The aroma is not too strong and does not interfere with meals. The sweetness stands out even more when the sake is lukewarm, and it is delicious enough, but I think this sake is better drunk at 13 to 17 degrees Celsius or thereabouts. It tasted better than I had imagined. Sometimes I think Tenju is a bit different from other sakes, but this one is delicious! This sake has the sexiness of a sleek, beautiful woman at a moment's notice. It turns sexy when heated up, so it's up to your taste buds.

Good evening, Mr. Tarrow. Another good drink! I haven't seen Omori before - I see it's handled by Ambois. I've never seen Omori before, but I've never seen Amboa's sake.

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is for your taste but I recommend it! I don't know if this is for your taste, but I recommend it! Dourness, that's it! I think Muteki Tianzhuang is sometimes dour like loftiness.

I bought it in a bottle because I had a good impression of the one I bought before. Therefore, it was fire-aged. Slightly colored. The aroma is fresh, with hints of apples, white flowers, and white gemstones. There is a good balance between sourness and sweetness. At first, it seems to be mainly acidic and crisp, but later the volume of sweetness comes in and gives the drinker a sense of fullness. The aftertaste is sweet, but the acidity and minerality do not leave a bad aftertaste. If it were to be heated, it would probably be to lukewarm. Basically, it is a sake to be drunk at 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. I think it would probably taste even better if it were served at a more appropriate temperature. I really wish that sake breweries would not leave it up to the consumer to decide how to drink sake, but rather provide some recommendations on temperatures and sake containers.

New sake, I guess. There was also nigorigo, but it wouldn't fit in the fridge, so I chose the strained one. Aroma of ripe fruit, banana, and koji like raw sake. The taste is clean and sweet. I am not sure if this cleanness is due to the rice or the design of the brewing process. There is a slight rummy flavor, which is very modern. There are no strange nuances that are sometimes found in nama-shu, so it is easy to drink in spite of its volume.

Is this the last of Kaiharu's Yamahai? 28by, just opened. It is colored but not particularly dark. The aroma is of maturity. Caramel, tea, tobacco, and a little banana-like fruit in the background. Not bad at room temperature. Or rather, it is delicious. It has a nice sweetness and a good balance of acidity and astringency. It would be delicious with red meat dishes at room temperature, don't you think? I heated it up. This is also delicious! The sweetness and nourishment spread powerfully in the mouth. The volume of the sweetness is a bit large, but there is enough acidity and astringency to give it an ample umami. The taste is indescribably delicious. I did not expect this, but it is delicious! Deep flavor with nourishment and complex umami. I think I can match it with gibier dishes. I think I'll buy another bottle.

Pale yellow. Quite pale. Aroma of ripe fruits. Banana, a little kumquat, lactic acidity and peppery spice. Delicious at room temperature. Rounded sweetness spreads at first, followed by a slight acidity, and then a sharp mineral bitterness. The texture is also mineral. Warm it up. The acidity at room temperature becomes a nice umami, and the sweetness and umami spread. It's not a sharp sake, but a relaxed and easygoing sake. It has a sophisticated taste without being blunt. If it is the season, I would like to drink it with soba noodles. It is a sake that accompanies you in your daily life.

Yellow, close to topaz Aroma and fruits reminiscent of something like Shaoxing wine. Apple, apricot, caramel, a little bit of soy sauce, black tea. At room temperature, there is a quiet sweetness at the bottom, but acidity and astringency are the main flavors, but there is a nourishing flavor that holds the whole thing together, which is pleasant in its own way. Warm it up. The mild tartness spreads gradually. It is dry as ever, but the deep, earthy flavor spreads out and eases the tension. It is a sake that has a deliciousness that cannot be identified by its taste. When drunk with a glass of sake in the evening, it will relieve the fatigue of the day. It is a sake with such a relaxing power.

I was too lazy to drink it, but I decided to. I left it at 13°C for about a year. Pale yellow. It seems to have a slight bluish tint. The aroma is more fruity than I expected. The aroma is calm, but it's apple and banana. There is a little bit of cemedine in it, and a sweetness like a white bean. Quite dry. Mild acidity and even milder bitterness. The texture is more interesting than the taste, with minerality, astringency, and a fine roughness reminiscent of lime. Warm it up. Warming to lukewarm increases the volume of the sweetness and other flavors. The taste is not rich or clean, but the stress of the liquid as you swallow it is very strong. However, there is no stress when swallowing the liquid, so it is easy to drink. It is a tasty sake, but it is not a clear-cut tasty sake! It is a good sake, but it is not a "clear" sake. The flavor will probably change if you let it sit for a while, but I don't think it was made with that in mind. It has no disturbing elements, but there are not many special elements either. It's like that. It is best drunk with friends around a brazier or a sunken hearth, with a bowl of soba noodles, grilled fish, and soup. Such a scene suits me.

They use Koshihikari rice, and the fields where they use Koshihikari rice have not been treated with pesticides since 1999. The grower's nickname is written on the back label, and he has strong feelings about his rice. It is lightly colored. The aroma is fresher than expected, with notes of pineapple, banana, apple, small white flowers, and a little lime? Big volume from the first sip. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and the volume of flavor is amazing despite the clean drinking style. The aftertaste after drinking is also long, with nourishment and sweetness spreading, but the minerality tightens it up. This is delicious! Warm it up. It is a beautiful sake, but even if you put a lot of heat on it, it does not lose its balance at all. It has a thick structure. It has just the right amount of sweetness, nastiness, and acidity. It has a calm taste, but the amount of energy in the liquid is so great that you feel as if your body is full of energy even as it settles down. I like this one. There is no messy taste of edible rice, and a beautiful complexity has been created. It is full of mysterious energy, but the taste does not interfere with the meal. I wonder what it would be like if it were fresh sake. I wonder how it tastes when it's fresh and when it's laid down. I would like to drink more.

The sake you will want to drink just by the document of introduction, the Honkai no Sake Cup. Colored sake. Calm but mature aroma. Ripe fruits like banana, black tea, and maybe caramel? There is also some beautiful nuance. Even at room temperature, it is deeply nourishing and delicious. It has a strong acidity, but for some reason, you can't help but drink more and more of it. Even if the alcohol content is low, it is still strange. It is easy to drink, but that does not cure the problem; you want the next sip after you finish it. Even if you heat it up, the main point remains the same. It has a nourishing and umami flavor, but there's a cleanliness that envelops it all. I don't know if "delicious" is the right word. There is no doubt that it is delicious, but there is something more than that that makes you want another cup. It's more like it becomes familiar to your body. I think this sake is perfect for the food served at festivals. It is similar to the spirituality of eating the same food as the gods.

The color is solid yellow. Delicious aroma. Takuan? No bad feeling. If anything, it makes you hungry. Woody nuances and grain, with a hint of apple. It tastes moist and delicious at room temperature, but it has a strong punch because it is a pure sake. It has sweetness, nastiness, and a nice sharpness, but the volume of alcohol is overwhelming. It is better to add water. It has a good flavor, but it is too strong to be drunk at room temperature. This is good! The sweetness and earthiness are increased by about two steps, and the umami explodes! There is no problem even if you raise the temperature firmly. I think it's no problem even if you add water up to about 14 degrees Celsius. It packs a strong punch, but it's too strong as it is. It might be OK as it is for grilled chicken with sauce. It is difficult to drink. It is difficult to drink, but this one seems to be more so. It is a sake that makes cooking fun.

The color is a light tinted yellow. Fruit in the nose with a sense of maturity. Grains, strawberries, bananas. There are also nuances of spice. Moist and delicious even at room temperature. There is little sweetness and it is dry, but the nourishment and umami spread gradually. The overall world view is wonderful and makes you drink on a scale. Warm it up. It is better to warm it up. The sweetness increases, and the sweetness, umami, and nastiness are wonderful. The quiet scale that existed at room temperature is gone, and it expresses a rich world. This sake shows the world beyond the taste. Very good.

It's a draft sake, but it has been in the fridge for more than 2 weeks after opening, so it's just for reference. I remember thinking it was delicious the day I opened the bottle. The color is slightly tinted, but it is clear. Aroma of koji (malted rice), like a nama-shu, and the fruit is 3:1 apple and banana. Pineapple with a hint of apple. Oh, it still tastes good. The sweetness is the main taste, but it is well-balanced and not too harsh. The small round shape swells up in the mouth and can be easily swallowed. I heated it up. Surprisingly, it is not bad. The graininess in the aroma increases, giving it a texture and nuance that was not present in the cold sake. The texture is smoother. The aroma and taste may be different for different tastes because of the increased grain and plantiness. This is just plain delicious. The freshness of the sake is well balanced with a slight sense of maturity.

Naturally muddy, cloudy with color. The aroma is, what is this? Grain? Corn, perhaps? There are banana and lactic acid-like aromas in it. Sticky and textured with a hard taste. How do you like it? The milky texture wraps around a strong astringency like There is some sweetness, but it is quite moderate. It might be good with carbonated water and a squeeze of lemon or something. Hard core. Don't be fooled by its appearance. Warm it up. This one is hard core too. It might be better to add water and raise the temperature. This is the kind of wine that can be a big hit depending on what you serve it with. Corn tempura, corn potage, grilled meat. Also, Japanese sweets with red bean paste. It would be good to add water and drink it when eating Japanese sweets.

Lightly colored. Refreshing aroma with a hint of sourness. Pineapple, lactic acid, and a little vegetal. A friendly, chubby sake. The sweetness and acidity are pleasant, and the rich flavor fills the mouth. The minerality finishes the palate. It is relaxing. It is like a spontaneous and natural state. It's nice. Warm up the sake. It's more tasty and acidic, and it makes me want to eat strong-flavored food. I'm heating it lukewarm, but I'm sure it would be good heated up too. Relaxing, like sleeping in a fluffy place like in the picture. Delicious. But it's delicious! I'd rather say it's relaxing. I think it can be paired with any meal that has some volume to it. I've only ever had it fire-brewed, but I wonder how it tastes when it's fresh? I want to try it.

Eagle label, also handmade, too awesome. It's a daiginjo, but still Kumezakura. Lightly colored sake. Mild but gorgeous aroma. It contains white flowers, banana, quince, black tea, and mushroom-like nuances. It tastes great at room temperature. It has a good balance of umami and sweetness, and the subtle acidity is pleasant. The wine goes into the body smoothly, and the aftertaste is quiet and beautifully clean. It has a sense of transparency but also presence, and is quiet but voluminous. It is a wonderful expression of a raw yeast daiginjo. To be honest, I think it tastes better at room temperature, but I heated it up. It tastes great this way too. It's amazing. The depth of flavor comes out and the sake, which is already familiar, becomes even more familiar. It's like a bodily fluid? If you want to pair it with a meal, this one might be better. It's delicious. A bottle of this is less than 4,000 yen, so I have no choice but to buy it. I want more. It's a sake that doesn't give you a bad taste, but it has a special taste.

He is a young master brewer who worked at Taketsuru and Kitajima Sake Brewery. I bought it because more and more liquor stores are selling hot sake. The color is pale yellow. The aroma is calm. It also smells like corn. I washed the glass. Is there something wrong with my nose? Without commenting on the aroma. A refreshing sake without being disgusting. It has a delicious sweetness. The acidity is pleasant and the astringency and bitterness are slight. This is delicious! Warm it up. The acidity and richness increases and a different flavor comes out. This is just as good as it sounds. I don't think it's the sake I'm aiming for. It's delicious, but it lacks a certain depth and worldview. But it is delicious. It is a sake that makes you want to support it.

It is naturally murky but slightly yellowish. The aroma has a graininess to it. What is this aroma? Corn, yogurt, moss, herbs. The taste is clean contrary to its appearance. The sweetness is at the bottom, but the acidity is the main flavor. The bitterness is also a good accent, so it tastes good even at room temperature. Is the corniness of the aroma good or what? Warm it up. The general flavor remains the same. It is crisp and easy to drink even when heated. Personally, I'd like to see a little more volume. The aroma suggests it would go well with corn dishes such as corn potage or French cuisine with a sour taste. It is refreshingly good-looking despite its appearance.

Calm sweetness, nourishment, acidity and slight astringency are well balanced. The aroma is pleasant and can be enjoyed slowly even at room temperature. Delicious. Warm it up. The deep, nourishing flavor increases dramatically. The deep, rich flavor is enveloped by a gentle sweetness. The acidity and astringency are also pleasant and clean. This is delicious!

I would like to pair it with delicious Japanese cuisine. Beautiful and delicious!
