Probably the first Nagasaki sake I have ever had.
It has a rich rice aroma and a rich flavor!
The price is not too expensive, and it seemed to be the best cosmetic sake I have ever had.
I would like to continue to buy and drink it when I find it in the future.
Degree of alcohol content 14
Rice polishing ratio 55
I'm sorry it took me so long to upload this 😅This is from a Sunday a week ago🤗On this day, after seeing the dinner table, we both agreed that we should have a drink at Hiran-san! We both agreed 👍Kagura is our first time
I thought 🤔 it's been a while since I had a drink at Hiran san, and then I looked back at Sake-no-wa and saw that it had been two years since "Nikomaru Queen" 😳.
It's been two and a half years since we visited the Mori Sake Brewery in Hirado, Nagasaki during our J&N trip to Kyushu to trace our roots in the Jay family... time flies 😌.
I'll make love to you
The aroma is very fruity😊.
I'm going to make love to you now ♬The aroma is very fruity 😊! This is so good that I'm going to toast to it 🥂.
It's fresh, sweet and sour with a citrusy bitterness that makes it go down easy without being too sweet 😙.
But...I can hear some of you saying "No, no, this one is pretty sweet too ❓What's their sweetness standard ⁉️" 😅 According to the international J&N standard, it is moderately sweet if you finish the whole bottle and too sweet if you move to another bottle in the middle.
That's a standard that AI can never judge 😅.
So this one ranks as moderately sweet 🤗.
Well, too much sweetness can also be very tasty if you drink outside 😁I can go for anything after all 😆.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛Nikomaru Queen recently debuted Hiran ✨This one is a sweet and sour variety with impressive acidity 🍶The international J&N standard is highly reliable 🥰.
Jay & Nobby, good evening😊I think they used white malted rice...it's a delicious drink with a fruity and sour taste 😊It's nice to spend time together getting drunk on good, tasty drinks 😁.
Jay & Nobby, Good evening... I've been noticing that Ji Lan San is available at my local liquor store, but I've never gotten around to it... I'd like to try it next time 😆 Thanks for the reference on the sweetness criteria 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
I didn't have much of an image of Hiran for you two, but I guess it's been 2 years since I've had it 😇.
Even sweet and tasty sake has a different expression when accented with fruity acidity😇.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I see your roots are in Kyushu 😲.
I haven't had Hiran-san since it debuted at Queen, so I'd like to try a moderately sweet Hiran-san with international J&N standards 😋.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃!
I'm so glad you two could give me a positive review of Kagura 🥰I've only had Kagura yet, but I'm already a fan of Hiran ❣️ I'm seriously considering going to Hirado to buy the limited edition sake brewery product 💕.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ^^^^.
The Heaven I drank last year also had a strong image of acidity. Too bad one person can't apply the international J&N standard because you can't drink it all at once 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
Just last week I bought a bottle of Hiran too after a recommendation at the liquor store 🌸 I'm even more excited to open it after reading your feedback 😊🤲.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Kagura has a nice sourness from the white malted rice, so maybe the balance with the sweetness gives it a good sweetness 🤔.
I'd like to use this expression someday 📝😁, too 🥂, the sweetness recommended for dry drinkers ☺️ fret sourness 🥂.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Just in time for our stock of Hiran 😙.
I was drinking Kagura at the store last time, so I decided to Nikomaru Queen this time, so it's the opposite of Jay & Nobby's 😁.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I can't believe it's been that long since that trip 😳It's really fast✨
I always find the international J&N standards very easy to understand and refer to 😊Transitioning to another one is my favorite 😆🙏.
Jay & Nobby Good evening😊It's wonderful that drinking sake brings back memories. That is also the beauty of sake! Drinking local sake brings back memories😊.
Good evening, Nao888 😃.
J&N standards can vary greatly depending on your mood and the food 😅I'm sure it's delicious 😋How about your next visit to Ji Lan 🤗?
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I am! It is a drumstick of smiling😊 🤗Oh ‼️ Hirado is a nice place 🥹 and so is Fukuda-san 🥹 I would like to go there again if I have the chance!
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃.
I feel like 2 years is just a blink of an eye 😳 with the drinks I've had 😌You don't feel it 😅Yes, I do! All the results are delicious 😋.
Good evening, freelancer first generation man 😃.
I see 🧐Yes, the international J&N standard was designed for two people to drink 😅Please write a line on half of the four-pack 😆.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
You are right! I think it had a good acidity 👍I have a theory that some people pretend to be a dry person, but in fact they can eat anything 😅Freht acid 🥂Please use it 👋
Good evening, Pon 😃.
It's really too early to tell 😳It's an international standard that changes every time I drink 😅I'm glad you found it helpful 🤗I'll have another one...indeed 😁.
9 points (wife: 8.5 points)
Ingredients : Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Yamadanishiki produced in Hirado, other rice used
Rice Polishing Ratio : 60
Alcohol content : 15
Where to buy: Kusabana Rak (Kajiya-cho, Nagasaki City)
Shupon when the bottle is opened
The gasiness is not so bad.
Slightly muscat-like top note
The same mild but fruity aroma as on the top, the soft umami and sweetness of the rice spread out with a piquant, lactic acid-like acidity, leaving a lingering fruity aroma and sweetness, and a slight bitterness that quickly fades away.
Calm, fresh and well-balanced, it goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own!
Good evening, Masaaki🌇.
It's a local limited edition of Hiran ^ ^.
I received it as a souvenir, but it was stored at room temperature for a long time and the taste was ❓❓. I would like to drink the real thing.
ellie, thank you 🗻 for all your help ✨This was still an easy to drink and delicious drink 😋I got a bottle as a gift and will put it away in the fridge 🍶.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo 😃!
I actually gave the Classic as a souvenir to a friend on my trip to Kyushu in January, and I regret so much after reading this review that I didn't get one for myself 😅.
Thank you, soumacho 👍It's a locally distributed sake, so I'm sure your friend will be happy to receive it ✨It's delicious and I hope you'll give it another chance 🍶.

One of my favorite brands, "Hiran",
I happened to find it at a liquor store and bought it without a second thought.
The freshness of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, with a pleasant, messy feel, and the 14% alcohol content makes it easy to drink, and I can drink it incessantly.
I want to drink it again.
At a place to stay in Hirado. Good balance of sharpness and sweetness with a slight tanginess. Good sake with good cost performance. Hiran has become famous. I'm looking forward to it since we won one more bottle of Hiran!
Drinking at home
Light drinking ✨, fresh 🌈fruity🍍.
The refreshing acidity is pleasant. It tastes like you want to bring it to your mouth one after another while keeping the flavor. 👍
I think it goes well with a wide range of dishes.
The acidity is exquisite! 💖.
☆3.9
So called, it is a sake of 2038.
For better or worse.
The sweetness is easy to drink and tastes good for everyone.
It is a sake that can be enjoyed by itself rather than with a meal.
I couldn't resist ordering a bottle of Nikomaru Queen from Hiran 😊.
My personal favorite brewery is Hiran, but I've been itching to try it 😅.
From the green apple and pineapple aroma, to the sweetness, acidity, and gassiness, everything is just right and you can drink as many glasses as you want 😊.
The Nikomaru rice used in the kakemai is edible rice that you can often find in supermarkets 🧐.
