I chose Honkin from the Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, a sake I had never tried before, which I was taken to the Saito Sake Shop when I visited the Nasu area.
The production date was 0707.
The rice used is 100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture.
Rice polishing ratio is 55%.
Alcohol level is 16 degrees Celsius
Heated in a bottle
Sake strength is +3 with a slightly dry taste and a clean finish.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gentle and calm, with citrusy tones like lime and tangerine, and a slight floral coolness. After a while, the sweetness of steamed rice, typical of Omachi, wafts softly through the air.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a very light golden color and is light and refreshing.
When you take a sip, you will feel a soft sweetness with a calm mouthfeel. The richness and fullness of Omachi's typical umami spreads out gradually. It has a good balance between a grain-like puffiness and a hint of sweetness, and the lingering aftertaste of calm acidity and bitterness makes it a perfect food sake.
