It was sweet and refreshing with a hint of carbonation.
I was not sure if I could finish it, so I brought it to a drinking party.
but it is good enough to be consumed at home.

Commentary.
Hiran's standard and mainstay sake "Nikomaru" is made from Nagasaki Prefecture's original edible rice "Nikomaru".
It is a rice that holds a special place in the heart of Nagasaki Prefecture, which does not have its own original sake rice.
It is easier to produce a unique flavor than lighter sake rice, and is a perfect match for Hiran's goal of making sake that emphasizes sweetness, acidity, umami, bitterness, and other complexities.
It is said that the name "Nikomaru" comes from the fact that the rice grains are so tasty that they make you smile, and that the rice grains are round and firm.
Today's new sake is "Hiran" from Hirado, Nagasaki!
Happy New Born🎉!
I was thinking of drinking it on New Year's because of its appearance, but I couldn't resist and opened the bottle 🫧.
It's a light nigori unfiltered unpasteurized sake!
The aroma is creamy and fruity like grapefruit 😌.
The mouthfeel is very pleasant with fine bubbles as it touches the tongue!
The sweet and sour taste is accompanied by an indescribable mild richness that is very delicious. ✨️
The aftertaste is also moist and delicious, refreshing yet satisfying ☺.
I got a little drunk at Mt. Kaito and wanted to refresh myself😅.
Chirsta also recommended this place: ❣️
Maybe it's because it's after Kaito Ozan🍶, but it's even more refreshing.
Light and fresh 🫧.
Fresh acidity and gentle sweetness💕.
I'm drinking too much again 🤤.
Good morning, Muro 🌞I bought this ✨the review by the same kutchesta was the deciding factor 🤤It still looks sweet and sour and delicious 🤤Osan and Hiran will complete the endless loop 🤣.
Good morning, Nao888!
You are right 🎯🤩.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the synergistic effect of drinking Otokoyama and the other one in turn. I'm sure both tasted three times as good 🤣.
Pairing sake with sake 💖.
Submission Memo📝.
I visited Hirado and was given a tip that hot sake is also good!
I was given a little information that it is also good for hot sake!
I think it's too beautiful and lacks a little bit of the "luan" flavor....
It depends on your taste, but it's a little better than last year's 😅.
I will continue to follow it though 🥰.
HIRAN Happy New Born. shwashy and fruity. Sourness like grapefruit? Bitter? It's very tasty with a sourness or bitterness like grapefruit! I will buy it again next year! Even people who don't usually drink sake liked it!
