This is a check-in from when I received it as a 🎁present this time last year😃This one was not even in Shinshu, but was bought with care based on uncertain information that I was getting into sake😊I'm so glad I made love to you!
I made love to him and bought this sake because I thought it looked delicious when I saw the Monde Selection Gold Award🥇 winning label 🤭It was well-balanced and had a great taste of rice, and the alcohol content was high at 20% which made it a great sake to drink 😚=3
Label: 🏷️
Low difficulty
The label on the bottle was the same as the label on the newspaper that wrapped the bottle, but the label on the bottle itself was difficult to remove, so I cut out the newspaper label👍.

chilled sake
I thought it would be more relaxed because it was hiyaoroshi, but when I opened the bottle, it had a complex aroma of honey apple, banana, and pineapple!
It was quite chilled, but the flavor is also very strong.
Nice in a wine glass (when cold).
The aroma, the clean sweetness, and the slight bitterness at the end, rather than just a taste of rice, are all enjoyable.
Not much or no acidity.
---A little bitterness at the end.
Cold (room temperature)
Fruity aroma is muted and it seems to be more off-flavor.
It tastes better chilled.
---It tastes better when chilled.
Hot sake
The correct answer was this! 50 degrees is good!
I wondered how it would be because the aroma was the main attraction, but the aroma is still there and the umami is also improved!
---The aroma is still there and the taste is better.
Cooking
I bought hiyaoroshi to match with fish, but it was unexpectedly gorgeous, so I hesitated and made a mushroom cream sauce with grilled sunfish, lotus root and green onion, but it didn't match at all!
The next day, I wanted to find the right answer, so I used four different spices and various ingredients!
The Hiramasa was also aged in Kawazu's Mangetsu salt and smoked with apple chips.
The result says that the lotus root was the best...
Lunchtime drink with sake bought at the supermarket 🍶.
I've never heard of this brand before, but it seems to be made in the same brewery that makes Comet (Shah) 😳.
It was a classic sake with a sweet taste. 🙆♂️
It was delicious!
Hiyoroshi🍁 bought at a local Ricaman.
I leave it at room temperature 🍶.
Six days after opening the bottle, it's so sweet and easy to drink...! Delicious...!
Today's meal was a local Shiga dish!
It was mackerel somen noodles.
My daughter likes it with cucumber.
