It has a soft sweetness and acidity, followed by a melon or apple-like ginjo aroma, with a slight core of bitterness in the back that lingers into the aftertaste.
It has a modern taste in spite of being made using the traditional sake yeast. The label is cute and nice.
Today I bought in Tokyo, Miyagi's Hiwata ‼️
Hiwada is said to be a round rice field where grain was grown that was dedicated to ancient gods.
Named after it, it is a sake brewed using a special method of making sake using the brewer's yeast ❣️ called "nama-hashiroshi," which in the old days was called "yama oroshi. Moreover, this sake is a freshly stored sake that has only been bottled once (we think), so you can enjoy the feeling of the brewer's yeast being alive. ⁉️
There is not much aroma. The first sip reveals a slight thickening, followed by a sharp numbness on the tongue.
I don't like the complex taste of sake made with sake yeast, but this sake is easy to drink. It is good not only as a sake, but also as a food sake to drink with grilled meat. ⭕️
This is the same brewery as Hiwada and Haginotsuru in Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture.
The label is summery and the taste is fresh, limited to this time of the year. The taste is orthodox and stable, with a good amount of sweetness from the rice and the characteristic acidity and bitterness of the sake's original "nama-hashiroshi" style. It is not flashy, which is typical of Miyagi sake, but it has a solid core flavor that I like.
I forgot to raise it a long time ago. I left a memo.
I like Hiwada these days.
Refreshing aroma like green apple.
It is refreshing and clean to drink.
The acidity is light.
Later on, there is a sharp feeling of alcohol and a light, bodied rice flavor.
When swallowed, the alcohol taste is a little more noticeable.
I prefer Omachi to this.
I heard it is better than Oumachi.
I thought it would go well with Haginotsuru, so I tried the "raw sake" as well. As the package says, it is refreshing, bubbly, and delicious. It crackles.
I want to drink it from summer! Delicious!
4.0/5
Marriage with Duck Bowl
Refreshing, lactic-acid aroma. From the mellow attack, it has a clear, gentle pungency and lactic acidic overtones. It finishes crisp and clean.
The entrée is a bowl of duck soup. It refreshes the rich and mild taste of soy sauce-based duck soup. I found a good soba restaurant.
The brewery said it has aged well and tasted different since its release in February of this year.
The master of another izakaya also recommended it.
I'm curious.
I drank it before and it was delicious, so I should definitely try it.
The aroma is gentle, sweet, and girlish.
But it's still fresh.
It is a pretty yeast yeast yeast.
I honestly don't remember the taste of the last one!
There is little acidity, and the sweetness spreads quickly on the tongue.
After that, there is a umami taste with a sense of body at the back of the tongue.
The bitterness seems to have rounded out somewhat from my previous impression.
If you eat this with almonds and salt, you will be surprised.
The flavor like koji (malted rice) is so good. Yummmm!
I love it.
Good aroma. Gentle yeast yeast yeast.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the acidity that is typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast.
But the mouthfeel is very clean.
After that, the sweetness of Omachi rice rises up.
The taste is refreshing, like green apple.
I was reminded of this when I visited the brewery the other day and found that I do not like fast brewing Haginotsuru, and that I particularly like Hiwada among the sake brews.
Being a sake made from the traditional sake yeast, I was expecting a somewhat habitual flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aroma is moderate and the flavor is strong, but the mouthfeel is sweet and the balance between acidity and umami is very good, making it a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking. It is good as a food sake. Thank you for the sake!
