This is a representative brand of a sake brewery founded in 1745 in Jojima, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
I bought it because of the description and the design of the label, which I noticed was "gone" ("no-naru" in Hakata dialect). It is a private brand sold exclusively through liquor stores.
Mild aroma, sharp 🧐.
Not my favorite on day 1💦.
A little easier to drink on day 3.

Finally, on the weekend, I bought it on my way home from work to say goodnight for the week.
I just transferred to work and there are so many delicious looking restaurants on my commute route. I buy only sake and go home without giving in to temptation 😊.
Here's something light to drink.
It has a gorgeous aroma like melon🍈 or la france, a fizzy feeling, and a deliciously smooth and sweet flavor!
Hozasu" is a native breed of Kumamoto's Edo Higo rice, which has recently been revived from only 40 seeds.
It has a wilder image than the Yamada-Nishiki we had previously.
We paired it with grilled ishiki.
Day 2 The carbonation has gone out a bit, but the taste is still as good as ever. We paired it with mizutaki, a local dish of Hakata. My husband, who usually only drinks beer, also drank some and it was gone 💦.
