Tasting at YOMOYAMA NAGANO 2024 in TOKYO
All of Honkin's sakes are right in the middle of my favorites, but this one is very modern but still has Honkin's style and I love it.
While wandering around Kanazawa Station picking out souvenirs, I happened to see a sake bar that was open on the first day of its opening, so I was curious and bought this most orthodox sake.
I was recommended to drink it cold, but when I drank it at room temperature, I found it to be very interesting and delicious, with a complex aroma and acetone aroma that stood out.
When served cold, the bursting aroma is reduced, but it is easy to drink and tastes good, much better.
When first opened, it has a complex flavor and, as its carnivorous name suggests, a unique carnivore-like peculiarity.
After a while after opening it, these characteristics calm down and it turns into a very drinkable and tasty sake.
Sake in a champagne bottle.
I've had many such sake, but this is the first time I've had such a strong sense of bubbles. The moment I opened the bottle, the cork popped! The aroma of the sake was so strong that the cork came out with a force like champagne, and at the same time, the fragrance of good sake started to come out.
The sweetness is not so much that it makes you feel bad, but it is very easy to drink with just the right amount of acidity.
This sake is a good choice for the first bottle when making a toast.
