This time of year, I still want to drink hiyayogoshi!
Crystal silver in color with a sense of transparency.
Elegant rice aroma of Japanese pear with a hint of grapefruit and other citrus fruits, yogurt, koshinko and shiratama dango (white bean dumpling). Gentle green like selfeil.
The mouthfeel is strong.
The impression is that the alcohol is quite gusty, with little residual sugar, but there is sweetness from the alcohol and a strong attack. The acidity is firm and gives a sense of structure, and there is a full-bodied bitterness in the aftertaste.
It has a nice hiyaoshi character.
Today, a small bottle.
White Dragon in the Year of the Dragon. It is the first time.
I like both black dragon and white dragon.
Aroma, fruity. It is my favorite sake!
Next time, I will buy a four-pack bottle!
Niigata Karakuchi
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of ㊗️ Sake no Jin, one of a set of 30 Niigata sake cups 😆.
No weight. Slightly creamy. Crisp and dry. But not harsh and soft. Souped up with some Tenkasu topped with Sanriku Mekabu Soba.
Why is it called "Soryu" when it is "Hakuryu"? The sake brewer's website says, "Souryu has a crisp and dry taste just like the blue color of Souryu" 🤔.

Daiginjo is delicious. It is sweet. The rice flavor is not that deep, but at this price it is excellent. It is made from 100% "Gohyakumangoku" rice. A reliable taste.
A classic! Hakuryu Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake
Alcohol 14%, Polishing ratio 50%.
Clear mouthfeel and a refreshing aftertaste.
It could be a little more fruity.
