The second drink of the 0th meeting was Junmai Nigori from Hirotogawa.
I was afraid to choose this sake, but I thought I would compare Amami and Hirotogawa.
The aroma was peachy and fruity.
The mouthfeel is sweet with a touch of gas.
The inside has a gentle umami flavor.
The aftertaste is bitter and pungent.
Compared to Tenbi, Hirotogawa has more gas and sweetness.
It also has a strong umami inside. If Tenbi is delicate, Hirotogawa gives the impression of being more robust.
Hirotogawa is also good.

I was able to buy a bottle 😆.
It has a soft sweetness and everything is perfectly balanced!
(Excuse me for being an amateur...)
So I can drink as much as I want~❤️
It's so good that I can't even resist the snacks I've prepared!
It may be my favorite!
As you said, it was a very popular nigori sake!
Uki Uki, hello 😃How do you do, call me Cat 🤲Congratulations on getting the Hirotogawa nigori 🎉I'm so proud of your dish that it's hazy 😂I haven't experienced it but the timing is not right and I'll have to wait until next year 😭💦.
I'm not a fan of the "one per person" limit...
That's the proof of its popularity and deliciousness.
The sweetness that spreads on the palate
The sweetness that spreads on the palate and the fresh silky gasiness
Well-balanced and never boring to drink.

This nigori is badass this year: ‼️
Could be outstanding 😋.
It's pretty shockingly good ‼️
I want to compare it with my favorite Central Yellow Label!
No wonder they sell out so fast!
I've already opened a 4-goupe bottle of this and have 2 more bottles reserved 👍.
It's been a long time T.KISO Manager: 🙇♂️
This year's sake is really tasty 😋, and if you drink it with hot pot or something like that, you'll finish 4 cups 😅.
2024✨
Hirotogawa nigori🍶 laid down at very low temperature
This one is more shwashy🫧🫧🫧🫧.
Also, the nigori taste might be stronger 🤔.
It feels like it's been aged for a while ❣️
It's hard to say which one is better...
Both are Hirotogawa 💖 (the best 😋) ‼️
Oh 🎶
Hirotogawa💕
Good evening, Mr. Muro! Drinking comparison with Hirotogawa aged. That's amazing😄It's a dream comparison. I guess the flavor changes when it is aged. It seems that both are still delicious (laugh).
Good morning, Mr. Muro 🌞Key 🤤Tastes too good 🤤🤤You let it sit well ✨I drool every time I open the fridge to drink it 🤤It sounds like it was fermenting well🫧.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu...
Yes, ❣️
This drinking comparison was my dream 🥹.
Each one of them are both delicious and I will try to compare them again next season 😁.
Nao888, please get another one 😁.
And be patient ‼️
Then you can taste and enjoy differently ❤️
Or you can come visit us 😄
Let's compare next year around this time 🥰.
The three major nigori🍶 last are...
Hirotogawa 💖 of course
And the drinking comparison I wanted to try: ❣️
First, the new sake ✨
Gentle sweet delicious fresh 🫧.
This year, no doubt about it: ‼️
Director T.KISO, it's still delicious 🤤.
Oh 🎶
Hirotogawa💕
Good evening, Mr. Muro😄.
I'm already... speechless with the extravagant drinking 😤.
It's not fair ‼️ it's not fair ‼️ I want to drink it too 😭 it's like a dream 🤩 to have it on display in the daily
Good evening, Kosuke!
This is truly a great sake 🥹👍
A bottle is fantastic ✨.
It's definitely delicious ‼️
I hope you can stand it 😅 I look forward to your review: ❣️
My best No.1 here.
I'm glad I could buy it this year, too. I would have bought a bottle if I could have found a refrigerator.... Maybe I should buy a sake refrigerator.
The sake is shrieking from the moment the bottle is opened, but it doesn't overflow. It's like an automatic stirrer.
When you put it in your mouth, it's a strong shwash. The yogurt flavor is even stronger this year.
The sweetness is stronger than the usual Hirotogawa, but the kind of sweetness is full of Hirotogawa's character.
The sweetness is combined with the umami flavor, making it creamy, shwashy, and dry without a sticky aftertaste.
It is a perfect bottle of sake. It is not enough to raise a white flag on both hands and feet.
When I started to like Hirotogawa, my quality of life improved when I was told here that Hirotogawa has a muddy taste.
By the way, has the Hirotogawa River become muddy in the fall? I don't think I saw any last year.

Nice to meet you moto!
I'm from Fukushima prefecture and I visited a store that carries Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori today and it was sold out 😭I heard it was sold out immediately, I'm so jealous!
Good evening, moto-san😄.
You and I are fellow Hirodo nigori Ichi-Oshi friends: ❣️
This sake is really delicious 😆.
I miss the brown label of autumn rikari🍁 already 🥰 sales have ended 😅.
Yamada Nishiki is also finished this season 😭

Nice to meet you! I am surprised that you can't buy it in Fukushima! I had heard that there are liquor stores where you can buy Tobiroki, so I thought it was easy to buy local sake.
Mr. T.KISO
Hello 😙.
It's delicious - Hirotogawa nigori. I wish they would increase the amount of distribution, not to say all year round!
I knew you were done with autumn sake. I loved it, especially among autumn sake.
I went to a nearby liquor store to see if they had any of the nigori nigori sake from Hirotogawa, which is one of the three most famous nigori sake in Japan.
I was so excited to buy it and couldn't wait to open the bottle 😁.
First of all, the top aroma smells like white peaches 🤔.
The aroma of white peach is also strong, and there is a little pear-like aroma.
It has a strong sense of gas, and the moment you take a sip, fine bubbles pop 🫧.
It has a strong umami and acidity.
There is also sweetness, but compared to the acidity and umami, it is a little subdued and only faintly perceptible.
The impact of the flavor comes in the middle stage, when the initial gaseous sensation subsides and the sweetness, umami, and acidity blend together.
The bitter taste that finishes the flavor comes out towards the end and finishes it off nicely, so you will never get tired of drinking it.
What is this?
Too good 😍!
This was my first Hirotogawa, and it is no wonder it is called one of the three best nigori sake in Japan!
I drank the entire four-pack in an instant 🤣.
No wonder people are dying to buy this one 👀.
Good evening, Mr. Chesta😄!
This is my first Hirotogawa! And great to start with the hard-to-find muddy 👍I also drank it for the first time last year and was surprised by its shockingly good taste‼️ I'm sure I'll repeat it, but I'm not sure I can afford it at the moment 😭
Good evening, Mr. Chesta 😄.
Your first Hirodo! Congratulations 🎉!
And it's nigori. 💕︎
It's so good 🎶!
If you don't mind the bitter taste at the end, you can have the others too 😁👍.
Good evening, Chiesta🌛Congratulations on getting the Hirotogawa nigori🥳It's so delicious🥰I managed to get it this year too🍶 Oh, I'm looking forward to it✨.
Good evening, Chirsta 😃!
Congratulations on your Hirotogawa Nigori Las 1 GET 🎉I know how you feel about wanting to open the bottle right away😍I got mine on the release day and I'm looking forward to drinking it now because the review sounds delicious✨.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃
The liquor store I bought it from sold out in the morning on the day of arrival 😅.
No wonder it's so popular, I'm sure I'll be back next year!
I heard they are going to restock it so you still have a chance 💪.
Hi T.KISO😃
It was so good that it tasted like my favorite 😍.
The bitter taste at the end, I'd rather have this much bitterness so I wanted to try the standard Tokujun as well ✨.
I'm glad to see more of your favorite breweries 😊.
Hi Nao888😃
No wonder this sake is so popular and sold out on the same day 😊.
I love the feeling of excitement when you get the sake you've been looking forward to 😍.
Looking forward to your review ✨
Hello ichiro18😃
I was really happy to see that it was a hard-to-find sake, and a last one at that 😊.
I know there is a conflict between wanting to keep it and wanting to drink it right away 🤣.
Looking forward to your review ✨
Good evening, Mr. Chesta!
I'm too jealous of Hirotogawa's nigori!
I've read your review and I get the impression that it's a delicious sake with a very interesting flavor transition 🤤.
I'm checking out the liquor store too, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it... 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌝.
It is one of those popular sakes that you can tell is a very popular sake, not only because of its changing flavors, but also because it is so delicious until the very end 🍶.
I heard it is still in restock, so I hope you can get it 🙏🙏.
Good morning, Chirsta 😃.
The first Hiro-chan is Nigori and it's also a Raswan! This is exciting ‼️ we remember the excitement of our first get too 🥹This makes us want to drink it every year 😋.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌝.
I probably should have gone with the classic, but I couldn't resist the words "Japan's three best nigoris" 🤣.
I would repeat it every year if I could, but with this popularity, I'm not sure I'll get it next year 😅.
