Hiyayogoshi is starting to appear, but it is still a summer sake🎐.
I opened the bottle looking forward to it, thinking it would be good on a hot day from the name.
Not much aroma? It is slightly grapefruit-like.
When you drink it, the first thing you notice is how clear it is. It's a clear drink 🫥✨ but you get just the right amount of slight rice sweetness and mild acidity, then it shuts off.
This is delicious~!
The way it disappears in the mouth is both smooth and clean and squeaky clean.
Even when the temperature rises, it does not become sweet and the balance is not lost. It becomes a little softer and goes well with a meal.
This is the one for summer Japanese food! It was so delicious 🍶.
Kotaro-san, good evening 😃I thought Chokaizan was more of a classic, so I never got around to it 💦I read your review and it looks like it would be good for summer 😋I'm afraid I'll get angry if I add more summer sake to my house, so maybe I'll go for it next year 🤫.
Good evening, Kotaro-san😄!
This Chokaizan is quite refreshingly dry 🎶.
Wakata-san, Chokaizan is a classic but also has a modern flavor. ❣️ Let's try different kinds of Chokaizan 😁.
Hello Kotaro 😃
We drank this one last year too! We drank it last year too 😙T.KISO recommended the "hiyaoroshi" which has the label that changes to dusk.
Good morning, Wakata!
I think the name and label are more on the classic side? I think it's more like a classic 😚I'd like to try many of them as T.KISO recommended 😆This one tastes perfect for summer! I'll make love to you next year!
Good morning, T.KISO-san. ☀️
It was quite refreshingly dry and so much fun 😆 It tasted a little different from other so called summer sake and made me want to try many others 🎶☺️ Next time I will try Hiyayoroshi which J&N recommended 🎶.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
This is really good 😆 It's just so refreshingly dry ✨Next time I want to try the hiyaoroshi you recommended 🎯The bottles lined up in different colors that you two posted in your review are also beautiful 😍.
It is a limited brew for Tokyu Department Store.
It has a smooth, thick, sweet, mellow mouthfeel. It also has a sourness, so it is not just a lazy sweet taste.
I chilled it for a while, but it was a little too cold.
Kagataya hanpukai sake.
Great and gorgeous aroma.
Thick mouthfeel.
Full-bodied, mildly sweet.
The bitterness spreads slowly.
It lingers on the tongue after drinking.
It is sweet and bitter, but it is very coherent and not unpleasant.
Is it because of the thickening?
Afterwards, a fruity flavor escapes through the nose.
The sake that flowed out after drinking made my chest area hot.
When heated up, it has a warm aroma.
It has a strong and bitter flavor.
It is heavy and heavy.
Heavy and heavy.
