Hououmida's seasonal product "Red Label Special" is a special version of the popular aromatic "Akaban"! It is a very limited product that is bottled with a smooth ooze and released as nigori sake. It is an aromatic and beautiful Junmai Daiginjo active nigori sake.
The sake rice is Yamadanishiki, the rice polishing ratio is 40%, and the yeast is undisclosed.
Served well chilled ✨
When poured into the sake cup, the mellow aroma of the sake was very promising before drinking 👍.
The aroma is gorgeous, with notes of muscat and melon! The mouthfeel has a slight bitterness and acidity that lingers on the tongue, but the richness of the Yamadanishiki rice flavor comes through later 👍The effervescence is subdued.
This is pretty much my favorite ✨✨I'd love to drink it with just sake! I would love to drink it with sake alone, but I paired it with octopus with vinegared miso 🐙.
Another day I paired it with a can of raw sardines from Thyme cans in Rikuzentakata 🐟🤤 The fat from the sardines was so thick and went well with the sake 🤤.

This sake was opened on New Year's Eve.
It was the first time I drank it.
My first impression was "spicy.
Even though I am a dry sake lover, I thought it was "spicy.
I thought it would be better to drink it with strong flavors, so I drank it with dried bonito and fatty cold yellowtail, and it was perfect for resetting the flavors one by one in a good way.
I would like to drink it again with various dishes.

I had a bottle of this limited-edition sake two years ago, and it was a sake limited to sake shops.
The banana-like aroma upon opening the bottle was as good as ever. It was fresh and fruity, like a combination of banana and citrus. It has a sweetness that makes it very easy to drink. The 14% alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
I think the good aroma and taste is due to the very good use of brewer's alcohol. It was a good sake as always.

This product was released in advance at the "Craft Sake Week 2024" event hosted by Hidetoshi Nakata, and was officially released as a result of the response. The sake brewery's unique manufacturing method instantly cools the fermenting unrefined sake, creating a novel sake with effervescent properties.
It is a carbonated nigori, and has a refreshing koji sweetness as it looks. It is like an adult Calpis, maybe a little melon-like. It has a nice balance of being neither too rich nor too sweet.
The name "Mikumari" is said to come from "Mikumari no Kami," the god who controls water. It was quite an interesting sake.

This is a freshly squeezed version of "Tokubetsu Junmai Ryoshin", a standard sake of Isshaku Suisei. I love Isshaku Suisei, but this is the first time I have had this spec. All of the sake rice is produced by the Gojome Sake Rice Research Association in Akita Prefecture. Sasanigori = light nigori or orikara.
The taste is tropical and fruity, but not too sweet and well balanced. My first impression is that it is well-balanced and I really like this type. It is sweet and mellow with low acidity like peach or mango, but also a little melon-like. The acidity is low, so it is mildly sweet.
The wallet-friendly pricing is very much appreciated. Ippakusuisei's new sake is still the best.

This is the new Kamo Kanehide sake I have been looking forward to. I feel like I've been drinking it a lot lately. The lady at the sake shop told me it was fruity and delicious, so I had high expectations. The specs are Hiroshima's Hachitan-Nishiki and the rice is 60% polished. The alcohol content is 16%.
A bit carbonated when opened. A mixture of appleiness, peach, citrus, etc. The taste is refreshing without being too sweet. Simply delicious.
It seems to go well with a variety of foods. Maybe cold dishes like sashimi or cheese would go well with it.

This is one from the Shiraito Sake Brewery in Itoshima, a major producer of Yamada-Nishiki. The brewery is located in a Yamadanishiki rice field, and the rice is polished to 65%, so it is called Tanaka Rokuo. The alcohol is low at 14%.
Taste-wise, it is very delicious with a slightly mellow sweetness, umami, and fruity flavor! It has a mild melon taste at first, and then when you taste it, it tastes somewhat like a grape. There is no alcohol or bitterness, so it leaves a delicious taste in the mouth.
According to the liquor store, it is "the ultimate futyu sake. It is the kind of sake that you want to have by your side at all times, or to put it in a more modern way, it is a good sake in general. Indeed, it is delicious.

This sake is brewed by selecting the best sake mash for Heki-ban in Houou Mita. It is a rare sake among Hououomida, blending Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku. It is said to be a sake with a full flavor of muscat or berry fruits.
When you drink it, you will find that it has a robust and rich flavor. It has acidity and sweetness, and tastes like muscat or a little white wine. It is not too sweet.
It seems to go well with any kind of food. It might be good with slightly thick simmered dishes.

Nouveau means new wine in French. The concept of this new sake is "to be paired with cheese in a wine glass. It is a junmai-shu with a rice polishing ratio of 70%, bottled freshly squeezed and unfiltered. The price range is also very wallet-friendly.
The taste is refreshing and light. The 14% alcohol content keeps the cup going. The aroma is wine-like. However, when you drink it, the acidity is a little weak. It has a melon sweetness and aroma, so it has a young white wine-like quality.
I wonder if it would go well with carpaccio or white fish sashimi. The label says to pair it with cheese, and it seems to go well with that too.

Shin Takatsukichiyo is a low-alcohol sake type with the concept of a daytime-only sake. It is interesting to see the variety of things they are doing.
It tastes like a combination of orange and white grapes, a modern sake with juicy sweetness and refreshing acidity. 12% low alcohol, some people may think it is a light, sweet wine.
These might be good with nuts or Camembert cheese. As it is, it is treated like a sweet white wine. It was insanely delicious.

It has a rich pear-like sweetness with a hint of acidity.
I can taste the firm rice flavor, but it is not too heavy.
