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.
Charcoal Grilled Chicken and Good Sake Tate-Aoi
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 🍶✨️
