Color is almost colorless and transparent.
The aroma is of rice and a slightly melon-like ginjo aroma
The taste is umami, but the bitterness is more pronounced than the sweetness, which is slightly different from the dryness of alcohol.
The lingering bitter aftertaste is good with meals.

I went on a tour🔫 targeting Masamune during the holidays 🤣.
Let's start with this one.
It has a refreshingly sweet banana🍌 type sweetness.
It seems to be alsobeaked but not harsh on the palate.
Nice Masamune👍.
Good evening, Hiro-san. How wonderful, the Masamune tour! I'm a Spitz fan, and I'm secretly hoping to do it someday. I'm sure you'll be able to help me out with all kinds of masamune 😍.
Thanks for your comment, Hirupeko😄.
Wait...Legendary Masamune 🤣 For some reason I only remember Robinson even though time has passed 😁.
I wonder if there will be a Spitz Masamune or something like that. I want to drink and get drunk and ride the winds of the universe🤗
The sake I received.
It's a refreshing umami junmai sake. When I was eating horse mackerel sashimi, I was drinking a different sake at first, but I thought it was too sweet and a bit different, so I switched to this one and it was the right choice.
Buko-Shuzo, Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan - HIYAROSHI (Hiyari-oshi)
This sake is a very robust and drinkable sake compared to the usual Hiyoroshi sake.
It has a strong, mature taste and goes well with strong-flavored snacks.
I bought it at Seibu-Chichibu station the other day, attracted by the name.
Contrary to the image of the name, it is surprisingly sweet and easy to drink.
Opened on September 28, 2024
Purchased after tasting at the brewery
Honjozo and mellow ^ ^.
It has a traditional aroma, but also very soft and full of sweetness😊.
It also has the fruity feel of a raw sake, for evening drinking, and I can stand to drink this one alone 😉.
Purchased at a roadside station in Chichibu. It is smooth and has a slight sweetness, but has a clean aftertaste. It goes well with the strong taste of eel.
As with my previous Chichibu Nishiki post, I bought this when I made a pilgrimage to an anime sanctuary in Chichibu.
First brand name
I was told that this sake is only available during the shiba-zakura blooming period.
I visited at the end of summer, so next time I'd love to visit during the blooming season ✊.
Cold sake
Good ginjo aroma.
Light but mellow and full-bodied from the mid-palate.
Like Chichibu Nishiki, many Chichibu sake are classic?
Short aftertaste.
Pair it with strong flavored food.
It is good at room temperature, but I prefer it cold.
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 18
I bought this bottle after finding it at a hot spring facility during a day trip to Chichibu.
The flavor is even richer than the aroma suggests.
It has a strong flavor and alcohol content that makes it an excellent dry sake, and it is very drinkable.
It is delicious cold, but I think the mellow taste and aroma are more strongly felt at room temperature.
