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! 💖.

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 🧐.
