This is the first time for Hizen Kurashin.
Sake from Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, the same city as Nabeshima🍶.
It has a fresh, sweet aroma with a modest top note.
In the mouth, it is dry with a Sake meter value of +10, but it is well-balanced with a light sweetness and a full-bodied umami flavor.
It has a nice sharpness and is quite tasty. ✨️

It's about as white as a sports drink🤍.
You can see a grain of rice through the whiteness 🌾.
It's a nice orikara 😁.
On the palate, you can feel the full sweetness of the rice.
The ginjo aroma comes from a low place, giving it a dandy feel 😎.
I thought it was honestly made by facing the rice 😄.
Cloudy white color with a hint of oriki. Slightly effervescent grains can also be seen. Fruity aroma reminiscent of pears and green apples. There is also a hint of hand cream. The strength of the aroma is medium. The fresh, light, and refreshing mouthfeel is then transformed by a strong astringent taste that clings to the palate. The lingering aroma is also apple-like. It has a medium lingering aftertaste. It is a fragrant sake.
Preferred: ★★★★★

Aroma of 🍏, acidity, slight gassiness, and the umami of rice swell in the mouth.

Hizen Kurashin is recommended to be heated from room temperature to warm. This is the first time I have had this brand.
Many hiyaoroshi are quite heavy, but this one is soft. It has a strong flavor, but it is gentle and cohesive.
Today's dish is a miso nabe with oysters and tofu. The richness of the oysters and miso is not overpowering, but they go together in a rounded way.
I would love to try this classic sake. I wonder if you have to go to Saga to find it. ⁉️
Oh, it was delicious. Thanks for the treat 😋.
If you drink it without the cage,
It tastes like lactobacillus and is very sharp 🍶.
When you add ori, it tastes less like lactobacillus and more like a fizzy taste 😅.
It's a bit strange not to add ori, even though it's an ori-related product 😙 lol
