When served cold
The aroma is green apple-like.
The main taste is umami, with a sourness in the second half and a slight bitterness at the end.
When heated, the aroma of rice becomes stronger.
The sweetness and acidity become stronger at the beginning of drinking, but not much else changes.
It can be drunk cold for a quick drink or warmed up for a long drink.
I finally got around to opening a bottle of this summer-only Hiwada.
Most summer sakes are refreshing, but this one is sweet and sour and has a big bone structure.
Nichiranda is a versatile sake, so of course it goes well with the sashimi I prepared, but I think it's more for meat 😅The acidity seems to go well with the oil 😋.
By firing and storing the wine more quickly than usual, it has both a firm acidity, moderate sweetness, and a freshness with a hint of gas, as well as the body of the cured wine. The refreshing acidity and juiciness when chilled make it perfect for hot days! It is not suitable for long-term aging, and changes particularly quickly after being uncorked, so be sure to refrigerate the bottle upright and serve it soon, even if it has not yet been opened.

This time of year, most of what I buy at the liquor store is summer sake 😁.
My eyes go to the summer sake section in my heat-induced daze 😆.
Sunflower label of "Hiwada" ・・・・
I have a record of having drunk a different label before....
I have a record of drinking a different label of Nama Junmai before... but I forgot 😅.
I guess this acidity and sharpness is what summer sake is all about 🧐.
The sweetness is also good 👍
I chose it completely based on the label 🌻💛.
Sweetness and slight carbonation are my first impressions.
The label says "firm acidity."
I don't get the impression of much acidity. It's mellow and not too sharp, so it's easy to drink.
