Ishizuchi Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyoroshi is a dry, food-friendly junmai that is perfected in autumn.
Designed to be paired with seasonal dishes, this is a special autumn-only bottle.
Hiyaoroshi" refers to new sake created in the spring that is left to mature over the summer and is ready to drink in the fall.
It is said that sake is only complete when it reaches this stage.
The rice used for this sake is Matsuyama Mitsui produced in Ehime Prefecture.
The rice polishing ratio is 60%.
The yeast used is a Kumamoto-style yeast that is cultivated in-house.
The specs are: alcohol 16%, sake degree +4.5, acidity 1.8.
This gives it a dry, crisp taste with a robust acidity and a full-bodied umami flavor.

Ishizuchi 2nd Cup
It's a sake made from a sake rice called Asahi rice from Okayama.
Is the slightly acidic taste due to the difference in sake rice?
The spiciness is moderate, and you can taste the delicious flavor of rice. The unique acidity and slight bitterness in the aftertaste. There is a taste that can only be found in this sake.
This is a check-in for a souvenir I purchased on a trip to Shikoku 🚗 3 years ago. At that time I knew little about sake and when I was lost in the product recommendation card, I bought it because it said Ishizuchi 😆 I don't remember the details without notes, but I still have the impression that it was relatively easy to drink 😊.
Label: 🏷️
Low difficulty 😍.
I bought it at a souvenir shop and the shopkeeper's purchase sticker mark is hilarious 🤭ppp
I think it was easy to peel off with hot water as it doesn't have many wrinkles 👊.
Place of purchase:unknown
It was my first time visiting Ehime sake at a liquor store.
Ishizuchi is one of the most popular sake breweries in Ehime.
This sake is brewed with Matsuyama Mitsui produced in Ehime Prefecture.
It has a mild aroma, slightly fruity.
I had an image of a rich, mellow sake, but the taste is unexpectedly refreshing, and I can sense the umami of the rice.
There is no gassiness, and there is no cloying taste.
It has a nice sharpness, and it disappears quickly after swallowing.
It made me want to explore more of Ehime ✨.
Hi yoyoyo😃
Congratulations on your first Ehime sake: ㊗️
It's so sharp and disappears so quickly: ☺️
I got an image of how beautiful and clean it is without any cloying taste: ❣️
I haven't had much Ehime sake myself 🥰.
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama! Yes, it was more beautiful than I expected ✨It was my first time in Ehime too, but I cherish this encounter and hope to drink again 😁.
Hi yoyoyo😃!
Congratulations on your first Ehime sake from Ishizuchi ㊗️ 🎉Our first sake was also Sandesi from Ishizuchi 😌and even after that we only have one Ehime sake 😅I've never been to Shikoku, I'd like to visit the area and drink it!
Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😊Your first Ehime sake is with Ishizuchi ✨We started with the most popular Ehime sake, Ishizuchi, so I would like to deepen my knowledge of various Ehime sake!
#Drinking at home
The aroma is mild, and the slightly acidic flavor is mild, just like hiyaoroshi.
It finishes with a slight bitterness and spiciness.
Not only is it mild, but it also has acidity, but it is not too much, and the end result is a perfect Ishizuchi hiyaoroshi.
It is delicious.
Moderate aroma
Strong acidity on the palate, followed by the pungency of alcohol and the sweetness of rice. The aftertaste is refreshing and does not linger.
Alcohol content: 16%.
Sake meter: +5.0
Acidity: 1.6
Star: ⭐️⭐️
Junmai Daiginjo, Sakurahime. The mouthfeel is quite refreshing, with little ginjo, some acidity and a simple taste. Almost no sweetness. Easy to drink!
