It tastes good even when the temperature is raised a little. When cold, it has a strong alcoholic taste. Delicious flavor on the palate. The high alcohol content makes it a good match with something else.
Hiokizakura Junmai Ginjo Densetsu Strong
The aroma is like a strong alcohol flavor added to vinegar 😙.
(I was under the impression that Hiokizakura is best served heated, but it could also be served chilled as a food sake!)
I bought it after listening to the enthusiastic explanation of the shopkeeper! 😍😍
6/10
For some reason, I received this sake at this time of the year, which comes out in winter.
It has a rather dry taste, and it was hard to taste the umami when it was cold, so I raised the temperature to about 55 degrees Celsius and then served it at just human skin level.
I felt that the umami flavor came out gradually.
It also had a mellow, matured taste, which was good for the last cup in a relaxed mode.
Hioki Cherry Blossom after a long time
Lightly colored.
Aroma is fruitier than expected. Banana, more tropical fruits, flowers.
Nourishing even at room temperature. It's still different, Hiokizakura. It is astringent and acidic and difficult to drink, but somehow delicious.
I heated it up.
It's good. Heated sake is good!
The acidity and nastiness are indescribable, but somehow refreshing. It's more refreshing than voluminous. But the flavor is rich. It's good even if you raise the temperature of the warmed sake.
Refreshing and refreshing. But it's full of flavor. Nice.
At the Tavern
Cold sake
Sake level is +9, but not too spicy.
Gentle acidity in the front, moderate umami in the back.
The acidity spreads in the mouth when it is sipped.
The aftertaste is normal.
