It has a sweet aroma at first, followed by a hint of rice, but later the bitterness also comes out strongly. The man at the roadside station in Yokohama where we bought it said it tastes best when chilled, but it might also be good warmed up as a mealtime sake!
Although cloudy, there is no sticky rice smell.
It has a sharp lactic acidity and a fresh aroma. It is refreshing, as if the cloudy sake had been refreshed.
I drank new rice and new sake the other day, so I drank this one too.
I wonder if this one is more refreshing.
I'll have to drink them at the same time to find out.
The quality of the sake is firm and thick.
I would say it has the freshness of new sake, but I could not distinguish it from the regular Funakuchi I drank before. I should have compared the two.
The sweetness and umami of rice with a moderate acidity, which is typical of Honkinen, and a chili sensation that can only be achieved with a draft.
It has the flavor of the current trend and the firmness that aims to be a typical Honkin sake. This is delicious.
Rice flavor, acidity, plumpness and clarity. The sense of alcohol is easily felt. I drank it chilled, but it would be better to drink it at room temperature or higher.
Labeled with Hakuba's yuru-chara character.
Sweet, regular honjozo.
Not bad, but the purchase price is too high for the quality. Is it acceptable as a jacket purchase?
These days, Niigata sake is not always light and dry.
It has the firmness of a pure sake with a freshness.
The sweet aroma that is so popular these days is not strong, but it is never harsh.
