Intense aromas of spiced pear, pineapple, orange peel and dried apricot. Rich, full-bodied, cooked rice flavor with a long finish. Pair with Ishigaki Wagyu beef, fried dumplings, and garlic.
Score: 93/100
I bought it because it is a brand that is rarely seen.
I found out that it was bottled the same day it was pressed, so the fermentation in the bottle had progressed and it had more gas than a directly pumped bottle.
It was juicy yet refreshing, with a hint of apple flavor.
For the last drink of the day, we had this one, the most fruity one we have today: ☺️
The mouthfeel was of course fruity, with a strong impact of sweetness, fruity aroma of tropical fruits like pineapple, yogurt-like richness, and a strong gassy and modern taste 😊.
I like the taste, but the crocodile on the label is adorable!
The fourth glass was Honshu Ichi.
It was a high level sake with fresh, chili gas and a good umami taste. 🙆♂️
It's nice that they use Senbon Nishiki, just like Hiroshima sake 😊.
This is also a little spice cummingreen.
The kind of hint of aroma I don't like.
The mouthfeel is neutral.
It has a crisp and clean taste with a touch of umami.
Taste 2.5/5
A trophy from a trip to Hiroshima.
The word "the best in Honshu" was in my memory and the cuteness of the jacket helped me decide to buy it.
I remembered the crocodile🐊 of "100 days later.
Oh! It is very easy to drink!
It has sweetness, but it is refreshing.
I like this one. Delicious 😋.
I chose this to accompany a dumpling party and it was quite a good match👍
I received this as a souvenir!
Hiroshima was sold at the main Tetsunabe Kiya store in Miyajima.
The label is the store's original label.
Ohhhhh, it's good!
The ginjo aroma is so rich. It has a gorgeous aroma.
It has a light color.
It tastes like grapes.
It is slightly dark and fruity, but easy to drink. The sweetness is exquisite.
It finishes well.
There are two more bottles left! I'm looking forward to it!
We will definitely win...Carp!
Purchased with Shirokodile and Sawahime Shiboritate at the Icoma tasting.
It is not as sweet as Senbon-Nishiki Orikagara and Shirokodile, but it has a good sweetness and a strong flavor.
It is made with 1801 yeast, but I have the impression that it is not very floral.
Personally, I prefer Senbon Nishiki Nakakumi Origara or Shirokodile!
I also like the Doors series label!
When I drink it again, it's fruity, sweet and delicious!
I get the impression that it leaves a fruity aftertaste.
And I heard it's not exactly the best in Honshu, but the best in Honshu😅.
Hello bouken 🐦.
I'm not familiar with this brand, but all of the ones you are drinking seem to be easy to drink. ❣️ Hiroshima, I haven't had much of it except for a few gifts, so I'd like to drink it when I come across it 😊.
Ponchan, good evening 🌃
Honshu Ichi, I recommend it to anyone who likes fruity sake 😋.
Hiroshima has quite a lot of sweet ones, so if you find one, you can try it 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃
Of course I know who you are 🥳.
It seems they are changing the label because it's a different series than the traditional kura flavor 🤔Doors=new door?
I am an old man who loves puns, and intuitively decided to buy it when I heard the name "Shirokodile" because it is made with white koji rice.
It is quite tasty, with acidity at its core, but it harmonizes well with the sweetness and umami.
The acidity is rounded, refreshing, easy to drink, and delicious all the way through.
Thank you very much!
Hi, Mr. Tsutsukitate 😃
I know exactly what you mean about your uncle's intuition to decide on the crocodile...I know exactly what you mean 😆.
I like the acidic type of white yeast rice, I'll make a note 📝!
Purchased at Icoma Tasting
Slightly effervescent, sweet and sour. Fruity sweet taste like pineapple and a little dry.
It's not too sour and has just the right amount of acidity because it's made with a portion of white malted rice instead of all of it.
The label is cute and I think it is a sake that should be better known.
Good morning, bouken!
I also bought this one in Hiroshima 🚙I was attracted by the word and jacket in the corner of my head that it was the best in Honshu, but it seems I was right 😙.
I'm looking forward to it 😊.
