I recently drank (Koryu), which was punchy and still lingering, so it lacked a little more character than I expected... sorry...
It's not so much the fruity flavor, but the robustness of the rice. It is delicious. I will enjoy it for a while!

Impression: Almost Shaoxing sake umami type dry
The umami of rice, and in a good sense, the odor is there as the bottom. Taste wise, it is quite balanced and dry.
It is as wild as the title says.
I had it with Shizuoka oden, and to be frank, it goes well with it.

I've been ordering sake bound for Aichi for a long time, but at the end I asked for a heated sake recommended by the owner.
Hioki Sakura no Nora😽.
The aroma on the nose is sweet with a hint of lactic acidity.
In the mouth, it has a nice sweetness and umami with a beautiful acidity from the sake's traditional sake making process.
It is a beautiful and well-balanced sake without the peculiarities often found in Sanin sake 😊.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Hiyokizakura Sandesi was left in the fridge because I forgot when I bought it. I remember the reason I purchased it was because it was a sake from Tottori, a prefecture I had not yet tasted. I would like to drop by again if I have a chance because they had a wide variety of rather small volume bottles. I was also allowed to sample something, but I forget the brand name...
I can feel the umami of the rice, but to be honest, it seems to be a light and dry sake with a watery impression.
Good evening, Mr. Freelancer Ichiyo Otoko 😃.
Congratulations on your first Tottori sake 🍶 with forgotten Hioki Sakura 🎉.
I think this light and dry sake might enhance the flavor if paired with a tasty entrée 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby ^^^^.
You say it very well^^ I have to do something about the fact that I tend to forget about small volume bottles.
I wonder if it would be better to pair it with a strong flavored entrée, since it is so light.
My standard brand of Tottori sake is Hiokizakura.
The standard Hiokizakura brand is Tamakae, which I think has a certain "character," but this Omachi unfiltered, fire-brewed "Tokuso Junmai-shu" is less peculiar, but has a strong core and acidity, and the flavor really comes out when the sake is heated up.
It has the strength to pair well with Chinese dishes such as hotpot with chili peppers and mapo tofu.
Good morning, Director T.KISO😊.
The temperature is getting closer to winter.
It is finally the season for heating sake and we are preparing junmai sake for heating.
Hiokizakura is a safe standard. ❗️
