Like Daiginjo, it has a flowery aroma.
Even when you drink it, you feel as if you are drinking a perfume. Although it is a honjozo, the spiciness lingers in the mouth for a long time.
It is a delicious sake.
Floral aroma like a Junmai Daiginjo, which is unique to Asakai. Fruity aroma spreads in the mouth, but the spiciness remains.
It is suitable as an aperitif or with light white meat.
I bought this when I went to Toyokawa Inari on my New Year's visit.
As is typical of Houraizumi Junmai, it has a refreshing taste, but it also has a firm sweetness.
It is a perfect marriage with kazunoko, which I had a bad experience with white wine!
Purchased at a certain supermarket. Polishing ratio 60%.
When lightly warmed, it has a sour and pungent taste and goes well with red sashimi. It has a refreshing taste, so it would also go well with meat and fried food. I will try to match it tomorrow.
Aroma of alcohol with a twang. Taste of grapes before the taste of rice. Then a tangy spiciness that goes away quickly. It is a flavor I have not had very often, but it is delicious.
I don't drink much honjozo, but I bought it because it was recommended to me that it tastes good when heated. I was looking forward to Asakai because their Junmai is also delicious, and it has a nice sharpness. It goes well with sashimi, but I think it would also go well with nabe (hot pot).
Pale yellow. Pear-like aroma. Refreshing in the mouth, it goes down the throat smoothly, and the aftertaste disappears quickly. It does not have the heavy weight characteristic of junmai, and is easy to drink like an aperitif. It seems to go well not only with Japanese food but also with Western food.
Celebrating Corona's return. But it's hard to smell it. Is it a waste?
I bought it at my favorite liquor store because it caught my eye.
It has a sweet taste and is very easy to drink, with little alcohol from the pure rice. I am afraid I will finish a bottle if I don't transfer it to a tokkuri.
Purchased at a nearby supermarket.
I bought it in a hurry, so I just realized it was not junmai sake.
It is easy to drink and mild on the palate. It has no lingering aroma characteristic of junmai, so it is good for those who don't like sake. For me, I would like it to be a little more drinkable.
I think it would go well with something not too rich, such as prosciutto ham or avocado salad. I will try it with tofu.

The aroma of rice is unique to junmai sake, behind the pear and muscat aroma of ginjo-shu. Sweet and refreshing on the palate, it is recommended as an aperitif.
Take your time to savor it as you are likely to drink it up right away. It is delicious.
I ordered it online because I had read Kami no Shizuku and wanted to drink it. It smells like flowers from a glass away. It is sake, but it also tastes like sweet white wine. This is delicious~.
Really floral, fruity, sweet aroma. It's amazing how it smells like this without adding anything. I want to smell it all the time (laughs).
The aroma that leaves your nose after you put it in your mouth is like a perfume. It would go well with sea bream carpaccio or Italian food. It is delicious.
Usuhiri-Ginko Hida Homare
Sake from Gifu Prefecture. It has a flowery aroma and a light flavor, but the pure rice taste lingers slightly at the end.
It is perfect for summer when drunk chilled. Wind chimes, somen noodles, and iridocumulus clouds come to mind when you drink this sake.
On the way home from a meeting, I bought it at a store I happened to find.
Sake from Nara. Kinuhikari. I bought it because I was curious about many things.
It has a complex aroma like rice bran. It is a deep sake with a rich amino acid taste. It also has a tangy and spicy taste. It seems to go well with firm sashimi such as bonito and red meat.
A local sake from Okazaki.
The aroma is so distinct that you can smell the ginjo aroma from the breeze of an electric fan. When you put it in your mouth thinking it was a refreshing sake, you will be hit with the umami and spiciness of junmai sake. It is a bottle that is worth drinking.
I hope the Ieyasu boom will bring more fans.
Purchased at Seijo Ishii.
Refreshing citrus aroma. After placing the thudding accent of pure rice on the tongue, it disappears silently, leaving only the taste of delicious water.
Seems to go well with fermented foods. Drunken Whale is delicious.
