I received a bottle of Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori Sake.
I received this bottle for the first time last year and it exceeded my expectation hurdle at pole vaulting height.
When I looked back at my impressions from last year, I wrote that I vowed to buy two bottles next year.
I never buy two bottles at once unless I have a good reason to do so, but I guess it was too much for me in this case.
When you open the cork, the gas leaks out with a loud and lively whoosh. The aroma is fruity and pleasant, but not overpowering.
It is a calm, refreshing, and delicious nigori sake that is different from both a snowball and a winter's daybreak, even though they are both nigori sake. It has a light impression with a certain gasiness and a freshness with a melon-like greenness.
It is not overly sweet and juicy, so it seems to go well with a wide range of meals.
After drinking it, I was once again convinced that I should buy two bottles of this sake.
Beef stew simmering for dinner...
What's this, too good!
It's nigori but so elegant.
Hirotogawa nigori, which I finally got my hands on!
Refreshing and full of flavor, too good!
Yes ❣️ I couldn't resist 😂I was going to be a little more impatient to open the bottle, but I didn't expect to open it on a weekday💦I was tempted every time I opened the fridge and couldn't resist 🤤.
I don't have much to review now, but just in case 😅Opening is safe and secure with a screw cap 💨Automatic stirring starts well and gives the impression of strong gas 🫧Rising aroma is fresh and sweet like white peach 🍑Swishy and silky in the mouth, sweet and sour taste comes and it's good! ～The bitterness is almost imperceptible, but it's a nice, understated accent 😋I can finish this stuff in no time ✨It's my number 1 sake to make this an annual tradition 🍶.
Muro-san ☺️ I'm not sure I'll ever be able to finish another bottle 🤣.
Hi Nao888 😃
Wow 🤩I'm so glad you went for the big one 🤩 ❣️
I'm convinced you'll repeat it every year 🫡I can't resist this one 💕I managed to GET it too 🙌.
But it's not enough, so I'll ask Mr. Muro for an extra delivery 🤣.
Good evening, Nao888!
Here it is, Hirotogawa's nigori sake 😍!
I'm sure you'll be fully recharged with delicious sake on a weekday 😋.
It's a delicious sake that I finish all at once 🤤.
I definitely want to get this sake next year 🤗.
Good morning, Nao888 😀
It's great to see that you've got Hirotogawa-san 😇.
Actually, I haven't been able to get it yet even though it's the third time I've gotten it 😅.
I'll try my best to get it this week 🤣.
Good morning, Nao888😃.
When you want to drink it is the time to drink it 🤗 Hmmm? Then you'll have to drink it every day 😅We've already got it 😊.
I'm sure if you ask the director of T.KISO, he will give you an infusion 😄.
I was told about it by ma-ki before and didn't know it was such a popular sake, so I'm glad I was able to secure it 😊.
It has a mild fruity aroma.
I will start with the supernatant.
Fine gas, beautiful sweetness with expansive umami, mild acidity, beautiful lingering aroma, banana🍌.
When stirred, it becomes juicy sweet and umami! The fine gas is really elegant... The lingering umami flavor remains and disappears nicely.
It still feels like a balanced nigori of the royal road 😊.
On the second day, the hint of aroma has a hint of Japanese pear. The juicy sweet-amami flavor disappears without any change in taste, so it is easy to drink and is like a juice 😍.
Good morning, ichiro18!
You beat me to it 💦 or rather I didn't even get it this year 😅
It still looks delicious 🤤Next year 😍.
Oh, I'm looking forward to getting the Hanaizumi 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃
You didn't get it 👀 ma-ki-senpai told me 😁 you got Hana-sen 🥰I personally prefer Hana-sen as it's more gutsy 😊 I'm looking forward to your review 😊.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Pon, you didn't buy it either 😯 but once you've had it, you'll get the picture and since I was able to drink it at home, I might be happy with that 😋.
It's the thing of the thing❣️
This is the second Ale of the season❣️
Ale 2 for short😁.
It's so good!
Every time I take a sip,
(I'm so happy!
I was saying,
I said to my partner, "Have you already drunk that much?
and I looked at the bottle.
There's less than one gong left...
I drank too much... 😭😭😭😭😭
So I had one drink on the second day and finished it😅
It's good, but it runs out fast 😱.
I'm curious about this ramen shop 🍜.
This is the third bowl at the ramen shop I've been looking forward to visiting.
The most popular shrimp miso ramen🍜.
The shrimp 🦐 taste is already so good 😍.
Delicious extra thick bamboo shoots 🍜 ♥️
Here is another delicious 🎶
Good evening, T.KISO 🦉.
Hahaha! Already the second one 😳Every year is amazing👍
I was wondering which one is more than the other 🤔Wow there are 18 of them compared to the 13 of the special jun 😳I can feel the loving history with the world's best and the title transition 😆.
Good evening, Pon😄.
What a surprise! You checked my Hirodo review 😳💕
I was going to check it again too, but there were too many 😅 I gave up.
I was surprised 🎶 that there are more of those 🤔.
Calm sweetness and umami, with a pleasantly bitter aroma of banana.
Smooth entry, bitterness with gas, and sweetness in the back. Slowly and slowly, the nose is clear. The acidity is hard to feel.
Dry bitterness remains, but a little sweetness is accompanied by a melon sensation. The aftertaste is thin and long.
There is a little roughness on the tongue.
Finally, it becomes acidic and bitter when heated. The sweetness is also stronger and this is also good.
Great balance of bitterness.
Strong fruity and sweet aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly light.
The sweetness and acidity stand out, followed by a refreshing umami.
The bitterness at the back of the mouth tightens up the whole taste.
It can be enjoyed in large gulps.
4.5/5
Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori Nama Sake
The aroma is of lactic acidity and full rice, with a slight citrus note and a pleasant flavor. ☺️
Take a sip!
Uma-----(ppp)-----!
The balance of the three beats of rice flavor, sweetness and richness is too good to be true 😳
Like Shiraginkai, this is a versatile nigori sake that can be enjoyed on its own or as a mid-meal drink ✨.
Mellow yet gliding on the palate.
The slight bitterness that lingers in the back of the throat
The balance of everything is just the way I like it.
I will have to try to get this next year 🤔.
Good evening, ichiro18!
It's really like a balanced nigori sake of the honor student type 😋✨.
I was hoping to get some next year but I'm not sure if it's too popular 😆.
Tonight I will drink nigori sake!
Today I went to 4 liquor stores with a friend and bought 6 bottles, mostly nigori type.
Hirotogawa is a delicious sake that does not betray its taste!
It has a gaseous taste. The sweetness and acidity spread quickly in the mouth, and there is a lingering aftertaste. It has a good balance.
Rice: 100% Fukushima-produced Yumenokou rice
Polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol: 15%.
Good morning, Bose Kota 😃.
It's fun to visit liquor stores 🤗 and even more fun to collect nigori this time of the year!
I bet you're right about the popular Hiro-chan nigori 😋.
Mr. Jay & Nobby,
Yes, I am. I'm excited about the sake shop tour. After this, Mimuro Sugi Nigori, Sentori Yukidaruma Zodiac Ver. and Sentori Yukidaruma UAuma are waiting in the fridge!
This year we welcomed them with a bottle of wine!
The top clear liquid
It's so fresh!
Slightly effervescent, refreshing impression, good acidity.
Last year, it had more champagne and sweetness.
but they are a little suppressed.
It's very refreshing!
I guess there are different tastes.
I like this one better.
When I drink this sake, I think it's winter.
This year, too, I was able to buy it (after taking a guess at the time and day of the week at the online store of a liquor store I know very well)! I have a few others in the pipeline, but I'll start with Hirotogawa!
It has a strong gaseous taste when opened! It tastes like nigori.
I like this one, too, but I like to enjoy the taste after the bottle has been open for a few days to let it settle down!
Tonight we will have yellowtail shabu-shabu!
ps.
I drank two and a half cups in one day while saying that I like it after a few days.
Nice lactobacillus-like aroma, mouthfeel is shwashy and fresh✨.
Milky, juicy, sweet and refreshingly sour 😋.
😆
I'm super happy I managed to get this just before the liquor store ran out of it! 🎉🙌
Hello ◎Kitashizuku 😃
Congratulations on your GET ✨
This is so delicious ☺️
This is the true essence of Nigori, straight to the heart of the flavor, and it's a delicious and impressive taste 😍.
Good evening, Chirsta ✨.
Thank you 😆.
It's so delicious! 🙌
It's really impressive taste!
There are so many good sake available, it's hard to keep track 🤣.
