It's been a very long time since I've been in Hidakami!
Today I went to see cherry blossoms, so I thought this would be a continuation of that experience...
So here it is!
Wow... it has a great rummy taste!
The umami and bitterness give it a refreshing kick!
Well, I like it because it is very assertive, even for a pure Daiya.
I think that the common expression "like water" can be a bit characterless, so I prefer it when it is as assertive as this!
Yes, it's good!
I really appreciate the guy at the liquor store who recommended it to me!
HIKKAMI Junmai Daiginjo Sukeroku Hatsuzakura 2090 yen (4-unit bottle)
Today's snacks are stuffed fresh onions and broccoli 🥦︎, chicken liver roasted ‼️ and multi-griddle roasted ‼️ for 4 days in a row, enjoying drinking at home ‼️
Tonight we opened a bottle of this one. The aroma is light and gorgeous ginjo aroma‼️The first attack emphasizes the elegant sweetness of wasanbon sugar, and later a moderate spicy bitterness comes in and mixes with it, breaking off in perfect balance🥺This is a delicious sake‼️It strikes the middle of the lineup as one of my top 3 this year❣️
I'm having a sake party with my wife's family this weekend, so I'd like you to try this one and I'll have one tonight. m(_ _)m
I love this label so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰.
At first glance, you'd think it was a drunken whale, right? There's a whale in there🐳. But it's Hidakami 😳😳😳.
I heard there was a little bit of the winter limited edition left, and Heppoko drank it all 🍶🍶🍶. I can't seem to get rid of these cute limited edition labels and such... 😱. But I can't use them even if I keep them.... What do you do with yours 😅😅😅

Lingering Dry. Alcoholic.
Impression: Fruity, light and dry.
The aroma is mild but refreshingly fruity.
The taste is not as dry as super-hot, but it is dry.
The acidity and a hint of sweetness make it fruity yet light.
From the jacket, it goes well with seafood.

There is a slight citrus fruitiness in the aroma and attack, but after that, it is clean and crisp.
Sashimi with wasabi is a good choice. The sweetness that was supposed to be missing is summoned and it becomes an easy-drinking sake.
Maybe it is because I am tired, but I feel it is even drier than usual.
Repeat Score 2.5
I like it because it is easy to understand its uses.
