Attended a high-end sake party at my usual bar!
We enjoyed it paired with a course meal.
Hitakami with rice cooked with Tanzawa wild boar and white corn, miso soup, and nukazuke pickles.
It was refreshing, clean and fine-grained.
This is a summer Junmai Ginjo from Hitakami.
There were only a few bottles left, so Uncle Ike secretly offered it to us. It is heavy with a rich sweetness. It is not suitable for the first cup. ‼︎!
For the second year in a row, Hidakami Summer Gin🎶 appears on Father's Day.
It has a smooth, smooth texture, with ripe fruit-like sweetness and rice flavor that fills the mouth, and a lingering sake-like sensation that makes it crisp and refreshing.
Today, a bowl of tuna sashimi 💮.
Your favorite degree:★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
The aroma is a softly spreading muscat and pear nuance.
The taste is melon-like fresh sweetness. The finish is crisp and refreshing with a hint of acidity. You can drink it in large gulps.
Mmmm...mmmm! It's so good! The balance of sweetness, umami, and freshness is genius! This is my favorite summer sake so far.
On the back of the label, there was a lineup of summer sushi (my photographic skills are not very good, so the image is blurry...). I love this kind of playfulness. I wonder if the next sake will be an autumn one. I am looking forward to it again.
Thank you again.
Here are some extras.
Every time, I worry that Mr. Hitakami's cosmetics are too expensive. The price is so reasonable for a junmai-daiginjo-class rice polished to 50%...I am sure there would be many customers even if the price were set more aggressively.
I may have spoken from a superior point of view, but as a humble consumer, I can only purchase it with gratitude. I am grateful to you. I really can't raise my head enough. I will continue to support you.
Good evening, Mr. 🔰Snacks are good with grilled squid
The summer gin from Hitakami is delicious, isn't it?
You really can't go wrong with Hitakami-san ⤴️
It's my favorite sake from the brewery for its umami that goes well with meals 🤤.
ma-ki- san Good evening! Thank you for your comment 😊.
You are right, all the Hidakami's are impressive and delicious...! I think it's a perfect match with a meal because it's also moderately firm!
It's a pleasure to talk to someone with the same tastes! Please keep up the good work ✨
Hello 😃I wanted to try this one which is only available in summer but it's already sold out at my favorite liquor store 😃.
I wanted to try this summer-only sake, but it was already sold out at my favorite liquor store 😓.
It's sweet and tasty, but it's also very refreshing, so it's great as an aperitif or a mid-meal drink ✨.
Good evening, Chirsta! 😊
Sold out! Hidakami is very popular as a quintessential 😭 I hope to see another seasonal species when it comes out! I wish you the best of luck in getting it 🙏.
It's just like you said, it's a great all-around guy that tastes great any time of the year! I drank it all up in no time lol.
On my way home from work on a holiday, it was hot and I wanted a beer, so I went to a nice pub nearby 🍺.

Firmly dry
Perfect with fatty herring sashimi!
As expected from Hidakami 👏.
Kido's summer sake
I want to drink it!
