Tasted here also at Hankyu Department Store. Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Kuzuryu. It is a refreshingly dry sake, but has a sweet and fruity taste. This time I bought a bottle of unfiltered raw sake made with Jinryoku.

Tasted at Umeda Hankyu Department Store. The rice was said to be Gohyakumangoku. The quality of the sake is clean and refreshing for hiyaoroshi. It is easy to drink without a sense of maturity. As the person in charge said, it is a quiet type of sake, so I think it is suitable for a mealtime drink.

It looks like all of them use locally grown rice, as did the two types of Kitanosho I posted the other day. It seems that only Ryu-ryoku and Koko use Jinryoku all the time. I'm sure there are other places like Okura that use it for single use. When I tasted it, my impression was that it was quite sweet and the second half was heavy, but it was smoky and the flavor of the rice came through with a bang. It has a strong bitterness at the end. It is not the type of sake I would drink on its own, so I will have to wait and see. I don't think it should be chilled too much. If you like Shimane or Tottori area sake, this would be good for you. I think it has a quality of sake that would not be affected by letting it sit for a while. There are glimpses of sweetness and a fruity atmosphere, but I wonder if it's basically more of a classic. Is it a multi-faceted, multi-personality sake?

Kitanosho, Junmai, Chomei-iki. Is it a bite or a miss? It's a bite! It's easy to drink, and at the end you think it's dry. It comes in dry and ends up like water. The impression changes depending on the food. I guess it is the same with other sake, but it goes well with any food. I want to drink it every night! The guy at the store where I bought it said that it never gets old! So that's what it means.

The taste changes considerably with temperature. When it is cold, it is refreshing and easy to drink. When it is warm, it has an aroma like Shaoxing wine.

You can feel the taste of rice in the sweet mouth, but drinking it is refreshing. I want people who don't like sake to drink it in a way that makes them drink too much.

Rice polishing ratio 60%. 15° alcohol The drink has a slight yellowish tinge to it, and on the palate, it seems to have a bit of age to it. The label claims it's refreshing, but it's .....

The label says it can be served cold, room temperature, or lukewarm, but I think lukewarm is the best way to get the full flavor and acidity. It's not too fragrant, so you'll be glad to have it as a mid-meal drink as the season for warmed sake begins to deepen.

Rice used is 5 million gokuoku and Shinryoku At a department store, I was told that it was the last one to be sold, and I bought it after much deliberation. I don't have a good image of "hiyaoroshi" these days, and I thought I'd refrain from drinking it this year, but I'm afraid I can't do it! This guy is one of my favorites. I've been holding off on this season because it was too expensive, but the combination with the raw saury (100 yen including tax❗️) is a marriage made unique to this season. It has just the right amount of ripeness and is loaded with flavor. The bitterness is also very good for my taste❣️. It's a great drink to drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
