Sogen Ishikawamon Junmai Hiyoroshi

Kurokyu Autumn Agari Jungin
Melon flavor, umami
I also liked this one!
Maybe it's because I drank a lot of Shinsei first, but I could easily taste the bitterness 🤔.
Hi Pon, good evening here too.
Another brewery in the same genre - this kind of drinking comparison is also nice ⤴️
I think I like Kuroryu's Akigari and Jyuseki, so I made a note of it: ✍️
Pon, here too😄!
I think there might be an increase in bitterness after Shinsei 😁😁.
I'm surprised that drinking heated sake resets it 😋.
I haven't had maruhi for a long time, I should try it 🤔.
Pon.
Good evening!
I envy you that you were able to compare so many hiyaoroshi and I'm sure it was fun to taste the different flavors of each brewery 😍I would love to go to such tasting events!
Thank you very much, ma-ki-chan 😊.
I love to compare hiyaoroshi and shinzake (new sake) and I think ❣️ Jyuseki is not so bitter if this is the only one 👍If you come across it, please do 😉.
T.KISO, thanks for your help here 😊.
I'm glad I drank the Tamagawa warmed up after the Shinmasa 😭 heard good things 😊🙏.
I want to drink all Maruhi next season 😁.
Thank you so much for your time here 😊.
Shinmasa is good, but I'm looking forward to this one too 🎶I'm participating every year 😁Hiyaoroshi, I'm not able to drink much this year, so I was happy to see you 😁❣️
It is described as nigori (nigori sake), but it is really just a bit of ogara (a hint of ogara). The taste is generally as described on the label, and it is delicious.
Today we opened a bottle of Maruhi nigorizake😄.
This Maruhi is the last of the 6th batch of this season.
The last nigori sake 🍶.
I couldn't drink all of them, but I wanted to drink the last nigori, so I managed to get it 😆.
This bottle is made with malic acid 77 and pursues sweetness and freshness with acidity. I'll have it as soon as possible.
The aroma is sweet and sour.
It is sweet and juicy in the mouth.
And the same sourness ‼️
It's a unique sweet and sour sake from Maruhi 😍.
Maybe the most balanced of all the Maruhi's I've had this season 😊.
I recommend it to anyone who likes sweet and sour 👌
It's low al and you can drink more and more of it so you have to be careful ☝️
But the sourness of Maruhi is bold! I don't think it's a sake that's so unlike sake that you'd go this far.
But sake is fun because of this kind of sake. ❣️
Please try Maruhi at least once 😄.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama-san.
I'm so glad you're enjoying your drinking time by setting your sakes as you want to drink them 🎵.
I was curious about Maruhi when I first heard about it at Sake-no-Wawa this year, and now I want to try it more and more 😊.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 😀
I haven't had Maruhi yet, but I'll seriously look for it since Kaorin is a big fan of nigori sweet flavor😇
I guess I'm a little late to the season 🤣.
Hi ma-ki-, thanks for your comment😃😃I haven't been able to drink all of the Malhi, but each Malhi I've had has its own unique flavor 😋 They all have the same sweet and sour taste 😆 I hope you give them a try: ❣️
Hi Yasbaye, thanks for your comment 😃I see you like nigori 😍I highly recommend it if you like sweet and sour 😆It's still on sale, so I think you can get it if you look for it: ❣️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
We also had a Maruhi ㊙️ about two years ago 😋I thought it was sweet sometimes, but I remember liking the sweet and sour taste with quite a bit of acidity 😌Honestly it is a good drink with all its heart 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄Thank you for your comment...Malhi, you will be surprised every time how sour it is beyond your imagination! Is it too sweet for the two of you now 😅Please enjoy the sweet and sour taste of Malhi once in a while: ❣️
For a kijo-zake, it has a thin consistency and a moderate sweetness. Of course, it is sweet, but the fruity, pronounced acidity and a hint of koji give it a well-balanced flavor.
This is a new type of kijoshu. It is very good with food.
Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai Limited Summer Seasonal
The aroma is like a modern sake yeast strain!
Taste as expected, quite sweet and sour! (It's like a pineapple with stronger acidity and more peculiar taste 🍍)
The alcohol content is a little low at 14 degrees, but I wonder if it doesn't feel light because of the way it passes through the nose.
It tastes rather strong, so you may want to drink it on the rocks or something 🤩.
The acidity is impactful Maruhi.
I bought it because it is easy to drink in the summer 😊.
I was actually going to buy the same one as ma-ki-'s, but I was attracted by the label "limited edition" and bought this one 🤩.
They said it is even more polished and clear juicy.
It is sweet and sour on the palate, with a pronounced acidity in the second half. There is no gassy feeling.
But neither the sweetness nor the acidity is as much as I expected, it is elegant and well put together.
The finish is well-balanced and easy to drink.
Conversely, it may be the least impactful Maruhi I've ever tasted.
Anyway, a well-rounded Maruhi😄.
I am looking forward to seeing what the next Maruhi will be like again.
Maruhi is delicious no matter which one you drink. ❣️
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I like Maruhi's limited edition bespoke ⤴️
It's really a delightful question of which one to take home 😁.
Limited edition is a very weak phrase for me too 😆.
I'm sure it would go well with an elegant Maruhi meal!
Good morning, ma-ki-😃Thank you for your comment. I was planning to buy the same Maruhi... sorry I lost out on the 🙇♀️ limited 😅I always end up making unplanned purchases when I go to the liquor store ⁉️
The other day, my work at a customer's place ended in the morning, so I went to a liquor store near there for the first time.
I decided to go to a different liquor store to get a bottle of something that was not available at my usual liquor store,
I bought a bottle of Hirasen Maruhi Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo Limited Edition Betsuatsurai.
The first sip has a sour taste!
It also has sweetness!
Sweet and sour, like apricots?
But it's thick, but smooth.
Usually Maruhi rice is 60% polished rice, but this one is supposedly 50%.
Sake degree -15 degrees
Acidity 3.4 ・・・ It's pretty good.
It's sweet, but the acidity seems to balance it out.
But it's so good!
It just goes down so smoothly.
Nice to meet you, Takashi!
I'm attracted to the words "limited edition bespoke" 🍶I've been wanting to drink Hiraizumi for a while now 🍶The color of the sake label and the faceted glass are so synchronized, it's beautiful✨.
Thank you very much, Aaru-Shu!
Yes, when it says something like "limited edition", I buy it even though I think I'm being cheated lol.
I might be tempted to drink the unique sweet and sour taste of this sake again too!
