Recommendation! It is full of the umami and richness typical of honjozo, yet has an interesting slightly effervescent and fresh mouthfeel. You can also taste the acidity when you first drink it.
It was served cold.
The color was clear and slightly pale yellow.
The nose has a fruity aroma and a burnt caramel aroma when the temperature rises.
It has a dry, sweet and sour mouthfeel.
On the palate, the sweetness and umami are sharp and hard to detect.
Sweet and sour with a rich honey-like richness. Sake like dessert wine.
On my way home from the store, I saw a different hiyaoroshi (grated rice) on sale at Takashimaya, so I immediately bought it.
It was the first time I drank Inata Hime at home, but it tasted calm and was very typical of hiyoroshi.
It is best served warmed. 😋😋😋😋
