Winner of the gold medal at the "Delicious Sake in a Glass of Wine Award 2025".
Melon-like aroma.
It has a fruity and sour taste with a gentle sweet aftertaste. Anyway, it is easy to drink.
When served cold and at room temperature, the acidity subsides a little and the melon-like sweetness increases a little, but it does not become too sweet and remains easy to drink.
Rather than with a meal, it is perfect as an aperitif or after-dinner drink with ham, cheese, etc.
Sake from Ina City, Nagano Prefecture. A tadpole that grows in the rice paddies is used on the label. Hiyaoroshi is the last sake to be produced starting with new sake, so the tadpole is said to be in a state before it grows back legs, hands, and becomes a frog. It was unquestionably crisp and refreshing, unique to hiyaoroshi ★★★✴︎

This is a project to push into the annual company drinking party in order to increase the number of sake lovers.
The second bottle is Imanishiki, the first brand of Tamago from Nakagawa Village, which is famous for its tamago. It seems to have been revitalized with the support of Kanten Papa, a famous confectioner in the same Nagano area. Yamazan, Mikotsuru, and Nagano are wonderful.
This one has a well-balanced, moderate ginjo aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it smells like wood, or maybe cedar.
The sweetness and umami came first, but not too much, and the astringency and bitterness lingered beautifully, making it delicious.
