Hiraizumi Maruhi Hiraizumi Maruhi Hiraizumi Hiraizumi Maruhi Oroshi Yamahai Junmai 60% 15% 720ml 1870 yen
A sake with a full flavor and strong acidity. The acidity is doubly pronounced due to the use of the acidic yeast 77, not to mention the acidity of Yamahai. It has a chocolate-like sweetness with a hint of orange peel and banana. I quite like the taste.
The sake level is -18, which is quite sweet, but it is good. It scores very high in the sweet and sour Yamahai category.
It is made with rice called Ichihozumi from Akita.

I thought it was a delicious sake with a fruity and refreshing sweetness, followed by a subtle sourness and citrus-like bitterness that made it crisp and easy to drink.
I bought two bottles because it was so good last year.
To be honest, my memory of last year is a bit fuzzy, but I think the nigoriness is more subdued than last year.
The taste is like a silky addition to the usual Maruhi.
I think I'll let the other bottle sit for about 6 months.
Purchased from Takatsu
100% Miyamanishiki
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 14%.
Aroma like white wine, chiri-chiri-stimulating
Sweet and sour taste with strong acidity, like white wine
A little bitterness at the end
Fresh and robust taste, delicious!
On the second day, the wine is more balanced and sweet, like a white wine.
Less bitterness!
Very tasty! ❣️
Day 3, no more gas and it has settled down.
This is delicious, but I prefer the balanced sweetness of the second day!
Maruhi has overturned the idea that Yamahai = hard to drink last year, and this is the sake I want to drink for the rest of the year 😊.
Good evening, Pon!
I'm jealous because I haven't had this Shiboritate yet ☺️The taste is totally different without the gassy feeling 😆In my case, I'm drinking out of it, so it's fun just to read about it ☺️👍.
Pon-chan, good evening 🌙Your review conveys your love for Maruhi's Yamahai! I want to drink it too 😍Gutsy Yamahai is good, but easy-drinking Yamahai is also good💕😊.
Good morning, Ponchan 😃I saw this Maruhi at the liquor store and after a long discussion with my husband, it was one of the bottles I passed up 😭I guess when I see a review that looks so good, I'm just like... 😰.
Good morning, Ponchan 😃
I like Maruhi, I like it too 😍I've had a few bottles of Maruhi this year and I was surprised at the acidity of all of them ‼️ I haven't had the Shiboritate yet, I'd like to drink it if I come across it 😆.
Good morning, Pon. 😊
When heating up Yamahai sake, I have heard that if you raise the temperature to 60 degrees or more
I heard that if you raise the temperature to 60 degrees or more, the aroma will open up.
I have heard that the aroma opens up when you raise the temperature above 60 degrees. 😓
Hi Pon-chan!
I've been meaning to drink Maruhi, but I kept putting it off and haven't had it yet 😅.
I'd like to enjoy the difference in taste between the two, as I have my own image of Ishikawa/Kaga's robust Yamahai 😋.
Good morning, Pon, ☀️
I am on standby for this sake!
Do you think it would go well with seafood?
I was thinking that white wine type would work, and I'll open it at the end of the year 😋💕.
Hi Pon 😊.
I was recommended Tobirazumi by a great senior and the first time I drank it was 😫 with Tobirazumi's Swallow and it became 😁 with forseasons spring. Maruhi, I would love to drink it😍.
Hello Pon-chan ^_^
I've never had Maruhi yet, although it is sold at the store where I sometimes go to buy it 😢.
Maybe I'll buy some next time I see it 😊.
Hi Masa 🐦.
It's easy to drink even if it's a little fat if it's gassy 😁I prefer it when it's gassy like chili chili 😊.
I wonder if I could finish it if one more person was here 😆.
Hi Peco 🐦.
I'm glad to know that the sake I bought for warming up tastes better as it is 😳I'm glad to hear that you like it warmed up 😅I can't stop drinking sake 🤭.
Hi Waka 🐦.
I'm curious to know which sake you discussed and bought at that time 😆 I was also considering Yoshida Kurau, which is another store, because it has a similar feel to Yamahai 😁This time of year there are so many things I want, it's a real problem 😂.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 🐦.
The sweet and sour is really delicious! The one you drank last year didn't wear as nicely as the one I drank 😳👍I will refer to it this past year 😊🙏.
Hi, Hanapin 🐦.
I didn't know you could raise it that much to open it 😳 I'll try it next time I drink a robust drink! I'm curious since I don't drink that hot very often 😊.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Modern Yamahai is also good 😊 moderately acidic and drinkable 👍 Ishikawa's Yoshida Kurau is also like that, so it would be interesting to compare them with each other in the prefecture 😉.
Hi T.KISO 🐦.
I heard that this yeast has a lot of malic acid, but I think it is closer to white wine than apple 🤔It also has a little bitterness at the end, so it seems to be a sweet white wine 😊It would go well with sashimi or white fish in a pot 😊.
Hi Maru 🐦.
I went to check it out 😊The sake and acidity are in between and the yeast is the same as Tobiteiru. It's not as strong as kijoshu, but it has a pretty strong sweet and sour taste 🤔Try it outside for a drink 😁🙏.
Hi Manta 🐦.
It's quite sweet and sour, but I'm glad it's drinkable 😊It's a modern Yamahai, so it's easy to drink without feeling heavy 👍You can try it once 😉.
Pon.
Good evening...
I'm the only one who thinks of milk when I hear "freshly squeezed" 😅Marufei has never had it... I've seen it though 😅I'd like to try it if it's robust 🤩.
Good evening, kozo 🦉.
Hahaha🤣 milking! I didn't associate it with that 😁.
It wasn't a heavy drink, but it was a sweet and sour drink 😊Read back the comment I wrote... I'm not good at explaining it, it's hard to understand 😂🙏.
Sour apple and koji as usual. It is not heavy, but fresh, sweet and unique, very well balanced and tasty as always.
It is a must for those who like sourness.
The third glass was my first "Malhi.
The nose has a grape-like aroma.
The palate is fresh and clean with a pleasant sweet and sour taste. It has a moist sweetness, but the lightness and sharpness derived from the acidity produce an elegant taste that makes you smile!
Hi stst 🐦.
I opened a bottle of the same one yesterday 😊It's an easy drinking Yamahai 😋 I'm really smitten 🤭I'm going to enjoy it for a couple more days 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
As you said, I was surprised at how easy it was to drink and how much I couldn't believe it was Yamahai ✨.
This is the first time I've had Hiraizumi itself, and I can see why it's so popular 😌.
