Hirotogawa nigori is considered one of the three best nigori in Japan.
It has a stable taste every year and has the best mouthfeel between tangy and shwashy.
Excuse me for drinking at home! Junmai Ginjo from Fukushima. It's my first time drinking this sake and it's very good! (I like the fact that it doesn't call itself a daiginjo even though it has a 50% polished rice ratio 😆 I had it with some Kanazawa amaebi (pickled sweet shrimp) that I got as a hometown tax payment. It's too good! ‼️
It has a faint banana aroma, and when you take a sip, you can still taste the soft banana sweetness and umami, followed immediately by bitterness and a faint spiciness, making it a very delicious sake. I'm thinking of making this my last drink, but I can't stop drinking 💦.
Aromas of banana, chrysanthemum, higher alcohol, cotton candy, granulated soybeans, and soybean flour.
Mellow and smooth mouthfeel.
Rich umami and a hint of sweetness. Slightly acidic and lightly astringent. It has a full, soft richness.
Serve with sashimi of kochi and ara, fritters of young wakasagi, baba gump style of shiba shrimp, and sauteed southern chicken.
Definitely a stable Hirotogawa.
The acidity is sharp with just the right amount of sweetness.
One of the best tastes we have had this year. I am looking forward to this year's nigori!
The aroma is sweet and good. From the palate, a very elegant sweetness gently runs through the mouth. It is a great fan of Hirotogawa's stable and reliable taste.
Drinking famous sake! Hirotogawa, the young star of Fukushima!
Famous evening sake that you can drink all the time!
Full bodied with a slight yellowish green tinge! Aroma of 🍌!
Aroma of 🍌: Gradual sweetness, transparency and umami! It has almost no acidity and is like banana milk for adults!
It's a good sake that can be drunk gradually all the time. It's also cosy, so if you're in an area where you can buy it, it's a top-class evening drink!
Hi Termat!
Did you get a bottle of "Hirotogawa Special Junmai" 😲?
I guessed you bought a bottle on your drive to Kanazawa 🤔.
I think that would be [that store] near Higashi-Kanazawa station 🥰.
I like cold sake and modern sake, but now that it is getting colder, I wanted to try heated sake, so I chose Hirotogawa's special junmai!
I paired it with shishamo at room temperature. The delicious taste of the rice stimulated my taste buds. It resets the saltiness of the shishamo.
Next, at about lukewarm temperature, oden🍢 flavor and bitterness spread, and this was also an exquisite partner for oden.
It doesn't get too cold, but I wanted to drink Hirotogawa more than I wanted to eat oden🍢🍶I already know it's delicious, so I opened the bottle without saying a word ✨.
The top aroma is a gentle impression of melon and banana 🍈🍌🍈🍌The sweetness and umami spreads gradually in the mouth, and the acidity and slight bitterness finishes nicely 😋Ah, it's still delicious 🤤Only cold sake goes great with oden, but I love it when served lukewarm. ❣️ I love Hirotogawa (So_1F376)
Good morning, Nao888 😃.
It's already oden season 🍢. It's rainy and cold today❄️ sake and oden go great together and Hirotogawa sounds even better 😋.
My husband loves Hirotogawa, so I might be jealous: ❣️
Good morning, Nao888 😃.
It's oden season 🍢and I reacted to oden🍢 with lukewarm sake 😆 warm sake is good with warm food😍Hirotogawa would be even better 😋.
Hi Nao888!
Oh Hirotogawa's special junmai and oden~🍢This is a combination that makes my brain bug out just thinking about it~🤤.
Ohhhh, I want to drink sake while eating oden 😋.
Hi Nao888 😀
Just hearing about Hirotogawa's special junmai, it sounds delicious 😀.
Actually, I've only had nigori from Hirotogawa, so I'd like to try it sometime 😇.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛It's oden season 🍢It went very well with daikon and konnyaku in particular 🥰Your husband is a Hirotogawa fan ✨️ Please try it with warm sake and oden 🍶.
Good evening, ma-ki-San🌛It was my first Hirotogawa Tokusyu, but it was the kind of thing that makes you meditate and think it's delicious 🤤✨Your brain will melt with this kind of thing🤤Let's drink sake with oden next weekend ☺️
Jay & Nobby, good morning 🌞Hirotogawa Tokujun is a good sake that has nothing extra and can be drunk deeply 🍶I'm looking forward to the season when sake is delicious in hot pots and oden (oden): ✨️
Slightly thick texture
Mild aroma
Isoamyl acetate type on the palate
Banana-like aroma 🍌 Gentle flavor
Gentle umami flavor spreads
Good sharpness.
Great as a food sake!
Pork belly and daikon radish for snack
Smells like young bananas🍌🍁.
On the palate, a fresh mouthfeel with a gentle, clear aroma typical of Hirotogawa 😊✨.
The perfect balance of acidity in a clean mouthfeel allows you to drink as much as you want 🍶😆.
The pink label 🩷🏷️ best ‼︎‼︎ you could drink for good luck!
