First time! We opened a bottle of Hiran 🎉.
This is another one I've been wanting to try 😆.
The other day Nabeshima was from Saga prefecture, and Hiran from the neighboring Nagasaki prefecture, so we've had a lot of Kyushu breweries recently: ✌️
Speaking of Tobiran, the standard is Nikomaru.
The concept of Kagura seems to have been brewed with the desire to create a new type of Hiran, one with a different character from Nikomaru. ☝️
I haven't tasted Nikomaru, so I can't compare the two, but I'll have the Kagura first 🥂.
First, the aroma.
Sweet aroma like mango!
The sweetness spreads in the mouth 🤤.
In the second half, a strong gassy sensation comes in, followed by a weak bitterness and sourness.
The acidity combines with the sweetness to create a sweet, sour and juicy taste 😍.
It makes me feel tropical and tropical 🏝️
This is a sweet and sour juicy type of sweet and sour for sweet and sour lovers 😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Not spicy at all❗️
And it's low-alcoholic so you can drink it in gulps 🥰.
It's sweet but not too sweet and sour so it doesn't interfere with the meal.
The strength of the gasiness is also just right 🆗.
Of course you can also enjoy it by itself 🍶.
I've never had a "Hiran" before, but it's on a very high level: ‼️
I'd like to try the standard Nikkomaru and follow the seasonal products as well 😆.
I have another favorite 🤩.
Oh I love Hiran. ❣️

Hi Nao888, Hi 😃Thanks for your comment......yes I went to 🙋♀️Firan ✌️Kagura is my first so I can't compare it to others but it was really good 😋I would love to try the Queen that Nao888 was drinking too 🥰.
Hi, Kozo-san 😃Thank you for your comment...did you start with Hiran or Nikomaru? I still want to go for the standard Nikomaru next time, but it's not available unless you come across it 🥹Kozo-san, please try Kagura and drink it too: ❣️
Hi Muro-san 😃Thank you for your comment 👍Muro-san's fridge has more space thanks to the snow 👍Please put Nabeshima and Hiran gently 🥰Muro-san will absolutely love them 💕.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Thanks for another delicious looking sake impression 😊.
HinaHanaMama's favorites will be added directly to my wish list of sakes 😅.
HinaHanaMama 😍Good evening❤️I was wondering about Jiran! There are many kinds 🧐Speaking of Nagasaki in Kyushu, I am also crazy about "Yokoyama" and I am afraid of Kyushu. ‼️ sweet and juicy, I want to drink it 🥰I am busy with my sake life lol!
shinsaku3, good evening 😄thanks for your comment...yes, it really is a good sake 👍it has no habits, easy to drink, and delicious 😋Your wish list grows and grows 🤣Mine too 🤗.
Good evening, Pekho-san 😄Thanks for your comment 😍I realized that Kyushu is awesome too 😍Tohoku, Niigata, Kanto... in the end, everywhere is awesome ❣️Pekho-san has to think about pairings, and maybe she is even busier than everyone else with her sake activities💕.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Oh! Congratulations on your first flying lran at Kagura ㊗️ 🎉 Actually, here is one of the 4 bottles I bought in Chiba 🤗It might be another sweetness challenge 😆.
I'll be smiling after drinking Nikomaru 😄.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😃Thank you for your comment...Kagura, I see you are on standby👍I'm so touched to share the same drink with you two 🥹Sweet but definitely delicious 😋Smile away 🥰.
I've been curious about Hiran🍶 for a while and happened to come across it at a liquor store, so I brought it to you: ☺️
I was curious about the taste 👀Open the bottle and it pops more vigorously than I expected 💨The top aroma is elegant and pear-like 🍐The lees are a little coarse and delicate 😋The sweetness and umami come together and the long finish is fruity and juicy ✨. The wine is called "Queen" and the overall taste is very elegant 👑 Oh, and the gasiness is soft 🫧It went perfectly with the pineapple and cream cheese wrapped prosciutto 💕.
Good evening, Nao888!
NikomaruQueen, first of all, the label is cute ✨.
I remember when I first started drinking sakewa and it got better and better as I changed the taste 🤤.
I've read your review and it still looks delicious 😊.
Good morning Nao888😃.
Hiran, I just got it the other day because I wanted to drink it too 😆 I'm kinda covered with Nao888 ❣️ I'm glad we share the same thoughts and tastes 🥰I'm planning to drink Hiran soon 👍.
Good morning, ma-ki-, ☺️The label is elaborate and cute. ✨️It's the kind that gets better and better as the flavor changes 🍶I'll drink a little bit of it and see what happens 🤤 though there's not much left.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama. ☺️ I'm honored that you also covered the lineup here 😳I'm honored that we share the same thoughts and tastes 🥰I'd like you to win the next one if this happens 😆I'm looking forward to your review of Hiran too: ✨️
Nao888, good morning 😃.
I haven't had a bottle of Hiran for a while 🤔 and I looked back and found that the last time I had it was about 2 years ago 😅I remember killing it instantly 😙 And I got a bottle of Kagura last weekend so I'm looking forward to drinking it 😋.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌛You drank it 2 years ago ✨️ I'm sure the two of you would kill it in an instant 😆 I've been curious about Kagura since ma-ki-'s review but it's a bit expensive so I'm looking at it from a distance 👀
