Impeccably malty.

Sake Tasting" (60min.)
20 kinds of sake tasting (60 minutes).
for the sake tasting
First time to visit on Sunday, 1/4.
Because of the 60-minute limit
I ended up with 13 kinds.
But I was satisfied.
As a lover of Hiroto Komoto, who has followed the Blue Hearts, the Hi-Lows, and the Cro-Magnons, I was hoping to have a drink at Hirotogawa one day! (I don't think it's any of my business)! (I don't think it's any of my business...)
(I don't think it matters.) Lately, I've been reading in various places that Hirotogawa's muddy sake is delicious, so I bought it!
I opened the bottle! It's been a long time since I've had a hard time (lol)!
As expected of Hiroto! Just a little twist of the cork and it seems to pop out!
And the aroma of that escaping gas is also fruity and great!
Finally, I poured some into a sake cup and took a sip...,
The gentle sweetness of the rice is in full bloom! After the full gasiness, it feels like it's going to finish you off!
It's sooooooo good!
I started work today, but I'm totally fine with it! It's so good it makes you think so!
This is the best!
With the leftover kamaboko from Osechi, I'm so happy!
There is a feeling of gas
There is an oriole
There is a gentle aroma of rice
There is a slight fruity sweetness and sweetness of rice.
More acidity than last year?
There is a slight astringent taste.
Slightly milky
New Year's party with a couple of drinking buddies 🎉.
The last of the nigori sake comparison is Hirotogawa 😊.
Compared to the gentle and light Masayo, this one stands out for its robust and complex flavor. You can feel the character of nama-zake, and the sweetness and fullness 🥰. ‼️
We had a luxurious 3-bottle drinking comparison, and the 4 of us drank the entire bottle‼️ surprise😆!
We really enjoyed it❤️
We ended the evening with udon noodles in sukiyaki 👏👏💖.
A New Year's party where we enjoyed the taste of nigori sake to our heart's content. Once again! Nigori is good😋❤️
Good evening, Pekho 😀
Nigori is delicious ‼️... no doubt about it😇
I'm itching to see such a delicious looking drink comparison 🤣!
I think it's time for me to open a bottle of our Nigori Four Heavenly Kings 😀.
Good evening, Pheho 😃.
A gorgeous lineup that looks like it will be very exciting: ❗️
And a drinking contest of consecutively opened bottles: ‼️
I am simply envious😍.
Hiro-san❤️Good evening‼️I was so envious of myself when I compared the nigori drinks😍I could feel the difference in the softness of the different brands and the appearance of 👹 made me feel the depth of sake all over again!
New Year's Day memorabilia (2)
Fukushima sake bought in Kagoshima.
We had given up buying it this year because of bad timing, but we found it at a liquor store where we went to buy sweetpotato shochu during our trip to Kagoshima.
When I found it, I bought it and opened the bottle immediately.
It is still delicious!

We can only say that we are happy to have this nigori sake this winter😍.
It's been 2 years since I've had it.
We opened the bottle on the night of New Year's Day.
I was able to open the bottle without any spills, so I drank the top clearnace and my impression was the same 😅.
Automatic stirring when I shook the bottle a bit 🫧.
It's a schwizzle 🫧 full of gas 😍.
The smell is silky after mixing and the taste is silky and it's a lactic acid drink but I like it when the spiciness that lurks in the back comes out 😘.
I couldn't drink it last year, but compared to 2 years ago, it had a bitter or miscellaneous taste in a good way... a taste that I could perceive, which I guess is one of the tastes of rice 😍.
Definitely delicious!
Delicious!
To everyone at Sake-no-wa
Happy New Year to you all 🎍I'm looking forward to enjoying the New Year's sake activities again without any strain on my body 😊.
The 4th picture is Mt. Fuji taken from Enoshima Ohashi Bridge when I went to Eshima Shrine for my annual New Year's Day visit 🗻It's nice to see Mt.
It looks like it will bring me good luck 😘.
Good morning, kozo 😃.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
New Year's night spent with the nigori of Hirotogawa river...no doubt about it ☺️
Fuji looks divine without a cloud in the sky 🗻I'm sure you'll be able to get drunk on sake this year too with your blessings 😁.
Happy New Year from here too, kozo 🎍 and I look forward to working with you again in the new year 🙇♀️
Hirotogawa Nigori ✨A great review with exceptional taste and a strong sense of difference 👍Nice to see Mt. Fuji from Enoshima 🥰.
Kozo-san, thank you for all your help last year and I look forward to working with you again this year as always 🙇.
I am also timing the opening of Hirotogawa-san's bottle😇
As expected, it looks delicious again this year😇
After all, Mt. Fuji is exceptional 🗻.

Good morning...thank you for your comments 😊Thank you for all your comments 😍Thank you...I was so happy when I could get this Hirotogawa 😘It was as delicious as I expected it to be 😘...
Mr. Yasube
Good morning... I haven't been able to comment often but I always read your repos 😊I certainly hesitate to open the bottle 🤣I think it's such a great drink... I hope you have a beautiful view of Mt.
Mr. T.KISO
Good morning...it's nice to meet you too 😊The nigori taste of this Hirotogawa! It was a four-pack so it was going to run out soon, but the change on the second day was delicious too 🤩.
It is nigori from Hirotogawa.
We got the bottom of the bottle 🍶.
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of koji rice.
In the mouth, there is a slight chirichiri sensation 🫧.
It has a slight sweetness from the rice and a slight bitterness, and it finishes dry.
It was delicious ✨️🍶
I couldn't open the bottle very often, but I opened it at the end of the holidays😅.
Not too sweet and too delicious 😋.
Let's work hard from tomorrow 💪.
The snowman took two days to drink through. Next, we chose to open the first bottle of the new year.
When the bottle is opened, it is automatically stirred. The aroma is fruity with a hint of apple. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, milky and rice flavor, and finishes with bitterness. It is unquestionably delicious 😋.
The second night of the party will be concluded with
Nigori sake from Hirotogawa
I couldn't resist to bring you this bottle.
I took a stroll and brought this bottle with me.
We will open the bottle for a change 🥰.
One of the themes of this season
I try to have nigori sake as much as possible, but I often think that regular sake is better suited for me than nigori sake 😅.
I often think that "Nigori" is more suitable for me than "Nigori", so I opened the bottle without much expectation.
I tried the top clear saké and then the top clear saké in turn... 😱.
It's a little different from what I've had before 💦.
It has a gentle sweetness, but the aftertaste is clean and disappears nicely 😋.
This is delicious ❗️3There's no wonder it's called "big nigori🍶" ☺️
To prove it, my youngest daughter, who has never had sake before, drank it with my eldest son and emptied the bottle 😱.
It was my youngest daughter's sake debut 🎉.
Happy New Year, Mr. Baum😄!
How happy you are that your youngest daughter 😎✨ made her sake debut with Hiroto nigori 💞.
She will be a good drinker, I'm sure 😘.
Happy New Year, T.KISO 🎍.
Hirotogawa-san seems to have fit in after several attempts that didn't work 🤣.
If there are any more drinkers in my family, I'll have a hard time setting up drinks 😂😂.
Good evening, Mr. Baum😄.
I too was shocked by this Hirotogawa last year: ‼️ It's so delicious 😋!
I managed to get some this year too 🙌
Your daughter has a pretty good palate 🤣.
HinaHanaMama, good evening 😊No wonder Hirotogawa is so popular. ☺️ The owner of that restaurant recommended the special junmai to me but I couldn't take her because of the capacity. ❗️ I'm looking forward to the next time. I'm sure my daughter can drink this flavor too 😍.
Good evening, Ms. Baum!
Your youngest daughter has finally made her sake debut 😍
Congratulations 🎉!
I'm looking forward to more and more sakes 🤗
And no doubt Hirotogawa's nigori looks too delicious 🤤!
ma-ki-San, good evening 😊 finally debut 😅and you chose Hirotogawa's nigori 💦....
On the other hand, maybe it's because of Mr. Hirotogawa that you were able to make a successful debut 🥰.
Hirotogawa's nigori is definitely delicious 😋.
