Honda Shoten

Tatsuriki Kome No Sasayaki Daiginjo Sake

From Hyogo prefecture. Honda Shoten Tatsuriki Daigingyo. Ripe melon and golden pear on the nose.
This nihon-shu has a viscous quality. Yellow plum, ripe honeydew melon, apricot with a spicy cinnamon finish. We had duck soba with local Matsutake mushrooms and green onions charred in duck fat with this sake.

Kikumasamune Shuzou

Hyaku Moku Hyōgo Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki

This is beautiful Nihon-shu.
Super ripe green melon, persimmon, ripe apricot and nougat.
With a semi-viscous quality, creamy texture and mouthfeel. There is acidity here but it’s hiding behind the richness.
We had seared Japanese beef from Iwate in northern Japan.
It tasted like meat flavoured butter.
