Reviews
Refined aromas of white peach and green apple unfold gently, accompanied by subtle white floral notes. The palate is remarkably smooth, with transparent umami spreading gracefully while vibrant acidity brings everything into perfect harmony. The generosity and delicacy unique to the middle press create a sake whose beauty becomes more apparent with every sip.
Detailed Evaluation
Elegant aromas of white peach and pear are layered with white blossoms and delicate hints of citrus. The palate is silky and finely textured, revealing transparent sweetness supported by supple acidity. Full yet never heavy, it finishes with a saline minerality that sharpens the outline and leaves a beautifully polished finish.
Detailed Evaluation
Juicy aromas of pear and watermelon introduce a beautifully fresh bouquet. True to Houken's refined dry style, the soft richness and crystalline purity of the nakagumi (middle press) are beautifully expressed. Gentle acidity and a clean finish carry through to an elegant aftertaste.
