Sake Diary - Ho-Ne – Houraisen – Junmai Ginjo


A bottling by the Houraisen brand for the Bone Daddies ramen bar in Soho, still the closest London equivalent to New York’s über-cool Fatty Crab restaurant.

We did wonder if the restaurant had muddled their tasting notes; they claimed “tropical notes with a long savoury finish”, but that is a very misleading description. Fresh, floral and melony. Not milky or creamy as sake often is, but mouth filling, with well-defined notes of fennel and star anise on the finish.
