Isn't it surprisingly rare to find Honjozo sake in its raw form?
It's sold at Famima in Nanshin.
Honjozo-like taste and reasonable price. A little bitterness. Not much acidity.
I'll have to compare it with the fire-aged version of regular sake.
To be served at the restaurant for a family dinner party.
The sake is a completely local Kikusui lineup. A great local product with no other sakes.
The sake is low in the mouthfeel and opens slowly. The aftertaste is not too strong and enhances the taste of the food.
By the way, Saruko-no-Spring is a spring in Iida City that has been selected as one of the best 100 springs in Japan.

Smooth and mild on the palate. Sweet taste. Slowly fluffy aftertaste.
2019 vintage that I noticed after I bought it.
Mildly sweet mouthfeel. The aftertaste is a strong lingering type. I used to dislike this kind of sake, but as I drink more and more sake, I've come to enjoy it. I'm getting old.
Good mouthfeel, with a moderate Junmai Daiginjo-like assertiveness.
The aroma is high, but it disappears quickly and does not interfere with the flavors of the food.
I bought it at Kitschow in Mizonokuchi, trusting my eyes (lol).
I found an unusual lineup of squid meatballs in the "sashimi" section of a local supermarket, so I bought them together!
It was a good match, and the sake was not enough.
From chilled sake at Tokyu Store
I don't think I've ever tasted anything this rich.
It leaves a strong and assertive aftertaste, but not in a bad way.
I'm not sure if it's dry or sweet.
I bought some smoked cheese from my son and matched it with it.
We received bamboo shoots, so we made takikomi-gohan and osuimono to match.
It has an elegant sharpness and a soft ginjo aroma that does not interfere with the flavor of the broth.
