Kirin Hojun Karakuchi is made of Koshihikari rice, a food and sake rice mainly produced in Niigata. Koshihikari is known for its sharp taste. The sake has a mild and slightly fruity nose with spicy notes of koji. Initially quite mellow, a pleasant sweetness emerges, adding a gentle flavour of moromi and fungi crowned by a sour tingle, only to finish in robust and refreshing dryness (hence hojun karakuchi). It lacks the elegant fragrance characteristic of junmai daiginjo, but its dryness makes it unique and exquisite.
