6th cup
I chose this one because it looked unusual.
Hirotogawa's Sota no Hump Kai, a special pure rice.
55% polished domestic rice, 15% alcohol by volume
It was the last of a four-pack.
This has a great rice flavor: ‼️
It was so delicious with sushi ✨.
The aroma is more classic 🙄.
The taste is more classic, dry and sharp from moderate rice sweetness and umami 🤔.
It has a warm and cozy taste that will accompany your food.
I am looking forward to the changes in flavor after opening the bottle 😊.
Long time no sake 🍶. No, it's been a while 😁.
Opened a bottle of 💁♂️ here today.
Let's start with the standing aroma. Cemedine? No, maybe banana 🤔It also has a sweet aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight sweetness, and the acidity is stronger than expected, giving it a tangy texture. At the end, you can feel a good spiciness along with a pleasant umami.
With gingerbread. The sweetness of the pork and the ginger give this sake a sweet and umami taste that makes it smoother on the palate. A good match 👍.

Good morning, Komacchan 😃.
It's been a while since I've seen you here. I was wondering 🤔Hiro-chan's Tokujun is a deeply delicious bottle of sake, whether cold or warmed 😚.
After enjoying Mimuro Sugi in Tokyo, Hirotogawa will be served in Fukuoka!
So we opened a bottle of Omachi!
I probably drank it all in one night because I was playing mahjong. I'm not sure if it was a good idea or not 😱.
I remember that it didn't have much peachiness like Yumachi, but I am sure it was delicious!
It's still a stable Hirotogawa... 😆👍
Local label for Hirotogawa. First time I saw it! They have a special junmai or higher spec out of the prefecture, and this one is junmai, so they separate the labels. And this label was used as the main label a long time ago.
I had it at room temperature, and it was the usual Hirotogawa that would go well with food, and I thought I would buy this one if it were available.
This is a bottle of nigori from Hirotogawa, released in 2024.12. To be honest, it was quite difficult to obtain this season. To be honest, it was quite difficult to get it this season. It sold out in no time... I went there first thing in the morning on the second arrival and was finally able to buy it!
I opened the bottle six months later in June, so I was pretty naive about the fizz, but right after I opened the bottle, it started to slowly bubble up and finally blew up! I was reminded once again of the strength of the bubbles.
Although it is a December saké, it is not a bad saké no matter what time of year you drink it! It is very tasty and goes well with strong flavored meals in winter, and in summer you can feel its freshness!
It has an excellent sense of balance between sweetness, flavor, and acidity. It's a great example of what I'm talking about. I can't write much about it because I drank it so fast, but I hope you will forgive me if I say that this is the maximum praise I can pay to a delicious sake, as always.
Summer Nigorinpik 100
Today is Tanabata, and we are celebrating with a total of 100 bottles of nigori sake this season at our house 🎉!
This is the second appearance of Hirotogawa nigori sake this season.
Last season we wanted to drink Hirotogawa Nigori but finally couldn't get it...so this season we got two bottles each of Jigokawa Nigori and Hirotogawa Nigori as soon as the season started😇.
I was prepared that I would not be impressed when I first drank them since they had been stored for more than half a year, but that was not the case at all. Even though it is not called "active nigori", the bottle was opened slowly, but even with automatic stirring, a nice aroma spread at once and the tongue was well-stimulated😇.
I knew a nice nigori would remain fresh and tasty even after a little bit of storage 🙆🙆.
The 100th bottle was also nice 😇
Good evening, Yasbay!
Congratulations on your Nigori 100🎉!
The one who was chosen was Mr. Hirotogawa - he's a stone 😋.
I hope to meet you next season 🤗.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛Congratulations on the 100 nigori 🥳I've been waiting for it for a while now ✨and I'm impressed that you decided to go with Hirotogawa 😆I think I'll aim to get two this season🤣.
Good morning, Yasbay 😃.
Congratulations on 100 nigori ㊗️ at this time of the year Hiro 🎉 100 nigori in a season in 6 months is a great immortal record 🤗.
Hello Yasbay 😃.
Congratulations on reaching 100 nigori 🎊.
And Hirotogawa's standing figure looks so divine, probably because of the glowing balloons behind him✨.
Thank you, T.KISO 🙏.
Last season the timing was really bad, every time I visited the store it was sold out, but this season I was surprised by the timing of the arrival of the new products every time I visited the store!
🤣
Thank you, HinaHanaMama 🙏.
I knew I was right to stock up on two bottles of Hirotogawa Nigori Sake😇.
It was also fun to drink at this time of the year and I thought it was a wonderfully potent sake!
Thank you Nao888 🙏.
I managed to make it here to the Kiridan number 😀.
Hirotogawa Nigori is an excellent sake that does not change its taste over time, so it is possible to prepare multiple bottles and open them at different times 😇.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 🙏.
Since I started this project, every time I went to the liquor store, all I saw was nigori sake🤣.
I have quite a bit of clear sake left, so I'll be opening clear sake for a while😇.
Congratulations to Yasube on your belated 🦍🦍100 achievement 🎉🎊!
Hirotogawa is perfect for the celebration! It's as good as it gets even after being laid down ✨I'm very jealous that I couldn't buy it last year 😊.
Hi Pon 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I was able to check in safely 🦍🦍100😇.
I got two bottles this season thanks to my netting to make sure I didn't miss any 😇.
Delicious nigori and satisfying even after a day 😇
Sake with a crisp mouthfeel that is typical of Japanese sake
I wonder if it's dry.
I like it fruity too.
I like the fruity taste, but I also like the "this is sake" feeling! I like the way it feels.
