The first bite is surprisingly sweet and sour.
But it is delicious. It seems to be a taste that has been popular recently. There is no sign of getting tired of drinking it, so it is good! I think it is sharper than Niimasa. I will repeat this one!

From the label
The Maruhi series is brewed with multi-acidic yeast No. 77 and specializes in sweetness and acidity. The sixth and final sake in the series, "Nigori Sake," combines the bright acidity of grapefruit with the gentle sweetness of nigori, resulting in a light nigori sake with a very refreshing taste.
Grapefruit❗️ is exactly what it tasted like😄!
I love it 😍.

The first at Sushi Matsuura. FOUR SEASONS Autumn hiyaoroshi from Hiraizumi. It has a strong acidity, which is my favorite type. Incidentally, the back label says the acidity is 1.8, but I am not sure if this is high or low numerically 🤣.
The acidity is much more subdued, probably due to the fact that it has been laying around for so long.
This is good, but not what you want when you want a sour sake! It's good in its own way, but it's not what you want when you want a sake with a sour taste.
I later heard that it was slightly low al, white malted rice.
Juicy!
It is full of fresh fruitiness, like a Greffle,
The taste is full of fresh fruitiness, a bright acidity, and a slight astringency,
A little astringent, and a little bit of Ory flavor like calpis.
The sweetness is gentle in the second half,
The sweetness is gentle in the second half, and converges in a smooth, clean line.
The finish is light and crisp.

I bought this one at a nearby liquor store for nigori sake✨
Hiraizumi is the third oldest brewery in Japan 😳.
I am grateful for the tradition that has been handed down for over 500 years 😋.
There is no top note.
In the mouth, sweet and sour fruity aroma like group fruits, white peaches, and strawberries 😊.
It is characterized by a lactic acidity like yogurt, and it also has a sweetness and umami that does not lose to the acidity, but it is not sweet and low in alcohol, so you will not get tired of drinking it at all and it goes down smoothly 🍶.
The impact of the flavor comes from the middle to the end of the bottle, and it was a very modern sake with no bitterness or other unpleasant tastes, and the umami flavor finished it off 😊.
In my opinion, it tastes similar to Eikofuji's Pink Sapphire, and I would definitely recommend it to those who are not used to drinking sake 👀.
All the sake from Tohoku, especially Akita, are of a very high level and wonderful 👏.
I hope to go on a sake trip to Tohoku someday...
Good evening, Chirsta!
Maruhi, I love it😍I actually got this one too: ❣️ Maruhi has a good acidity 🤤It's perfect for sweet and sour lovers 😉 The level of sake is too high both in Kyushu and Tohoku: ☝️
Good morning to you, hinahana mama 😃.
Maruhi is delicious!
I was convinced when I saw the sake level on the label on the back ✨.
Everywhere is serving high level sake these days 🤤.
I would love to do a sake tour in Akita 👀.
Good evening, Mr. Chesta!
I was hoping to get this nigori this year, but I couldn't get it 😭I like all Maruhi varieties, but the nigori is even better!
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I can see why the Maruhi series is so popular, this nigori is a hit with my sweet and juicy taste buds!
Oh no 😭I hope I can find it next year 🙏.
