Purchased at a liquor store in Mashiko on a trip to Moka and Mashiko.
I tasted some of the Nozomu series,
The one brewed with "Hitogokochi" was very easy to drink with a sweet taste and moderate gasiness.
It was warm today, and I couldn't resist opening the bottle on the train on my way home, so the gassy feeling was completely gone by the time I got home.
Finally, the weekend is finally here, while we are busy with our daily business... and we've been waiting for it: ❗️
Every weekend we have a fun ❤️ sake opening day 🍶!
Today is the first time to drink Tochigi's "Nozomu" Splash 🫧!
When you open the bottle, the aroma is not that strong... but it smells like a tropical 🏝️ tropical pineapple 😍!
I took a top off, imagining it to be pretty schwaggy from the name Splash🌊... but 🤔.
It's sweet and tasty, but it's 16%, so I think it's a little alcoholic 💦.
Also, the freshness of the water is a bit too much like a clear stream rather than a splash ❓...? I have a feeling😅😅.
I'm going to stir it and drink the second glass 👍.
The flavor is really arp⤴️
As I've been advocating for a while now, stirring is the way to go for orikarami type sake ✨....
...but in general I don't think it's the name of the splash 😓.
Personally, the Ganki Sparkling I had the other day is more of a splash lol 🤣.
Let's see what kind of taste changes I can enjoy tomorrow... I'll keep my fingers crossed 😁.
Day 2: 🗒️
In the garden as the temperature was moderate 🍶.
I stirred it from the beginning and it tasted more alcoholic than the first day, but the flavor didn't change much 😓.
I definitely like the first day better...just need to lower the alcohol content 🤔.
Hello, Koiing gulls 😃.
Congrats on the splash💦 and congratulations to Hatsumo-san ㊗️ 🎉 we've never had it 🥲 but I have a feeling it's one of those bottles that has a pretty mixed reputation in the sake world🧐.
I guess I'll have to drink it to be sure.
It's past time for a drink 🍶.
We were invited to the home of our town's sake master and were treated to some wonderful sake 😆 The first bottle was "Nozomu" ❗I used to drink Nozomu, which was very dry, but this was my first nigori!
The first bottle was "Nozomu" which I haven't had in a while ❗The Nozomu I had a long time ago was very dry, but this was my first nigori (nigori)! And "Hitogokochi" is good 🎵.
Gentle but refreshing 😋 Goes well with food👍.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 😃.
Nozomu-san's nigori! It's really delicious 😋.
The fact that Hitogochi is produced in Tochigi is also a point of interest 🤗.
The slightly effervescent, slightly bubbly feeling characteristic of active nama nigori, combined with the light acidity, makes it refreshing and enjoyable.
The gasiness is very tight.
It has a moderate richness and flavor, but does not smell too much in the mouth,
It goes well with meals.
Slightly acidic.
Light in mouthfeel for its flavor.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
The aroma is mild, and the robust flavor and crisp acidity make for an impressive sake. It has a clean aftertaste, so it goes well with any meal. It would be luxurious to enjoy a meal with this sake on a regular basis.
This is my first time wanting it.
It is not special, but it has a good balance of acidity and flavor.
It has a good balance of acidity and flavor.
It is a versatile sake.
I think it is a sake that goes well with all kinds of foods.
