It's that time of year again for Hirotogawa's nigori.
Last year I failed to open the bottle and it spilled a little, but this year I successfully avoided the problem by removing the gas and closing the bottle immediately after opening it. The moment you open the bottle, you can feel the fullness of the gas as the sake rises to the surface.
The sake itself has an elegant sweetness that fills the nose from the aroma. The taste is milky sweetness can be felt on the palate, but it is easy to drink without any unpleasant nigori (bitterness). The mild carbonation makes it easy to drink. As expected of Hirotogawa. It always satisfies me.
The second bottle of alcohol I drank on Christmas Eve.
My first Hirotogawa.
Apparently, it is one of the three best nigori sakes😋.
Smooth sweetness and umami of rice, and a gasiness that spreads sizzlingly.
Very satisfying.
As a reward for all your hard work this year, open a bottle of this one: 💁♂️
Let's start with the nose. The aroma is sweet and elegant, reminiscent of muscat. In the mouth, the flavor of rice, rich sweet umami, refreshing acidity, and bitterness overlap in a beautiful mouthfeel, and a pleasant feeling quickly passes down the throat. As expected of Mr. Hiroto (laughs).
With sukiyaki. The meat flavor and the sweet and savory taste of the sake are in harmony, and the taste is like listening to the harmony of a pleasant orchestra 😋 I got a little drunk 😆.

At Kyushindo Sake Shop in Iizaka Onsen.
Everyone likes what they drink here.
Almost all of the sake on the shelves is fresh sake.
The only drawback is that they do not sell sake.

This is the nigori nama sake that I have longed for!

It has a very nice sweet and savory taste!
5.0 stars
As soon as the bottle is opened, the corks dance energetically.
The sweetness of the rice is the base, and there is a faint taste of pear.
It has a strong gaseous taste and is refreshing without any peculiarities, so once you start drinking it, you won't be able to stop...
No wonder it is so popular.
