It has a sweet aroma that is not fruity but has a full-bodied flavor. It is a bottle with a thick flavor, probably because it has been aged for more than a year from production to shipping. I had it with grilled yellowtail kama-yaki with ponzu (citrus juice), and it was a wonderful combination. Made from 100% Omachi grown in Okayama, 50% polished rice.
My first drink.
"Nozomu Splash! Junmai Daiginjo Hi-ire"
The summery label is probably a splash image.
It has a fresh aroma and a robust taste. The balance of sweetness and acidity is just the way I like it, and the very slight gasiness is also a nice touch.

Good evening Jay & Nobby...
I am sorry I did not notice your comment at all 🙏.
I heard there are a lot of good ones out there, I will try them as soon as I find them 😋.
Was it 100 check-in, I didn't notice that at all 😅.
Good morning, Pekka Ru😃!
Congratulations on your first wish 💧 with a quiet splash 💧 at ㊗️ 🎉We have a great selection of non-CWS standard wishes 😋 please try them all 👋!
Hi Jay & Nobby!
When I see Tochigi sake, I think "Jay Nobby-san! I think "Jay Nobby-san!
CWS! I thought it was a wrestling organization, but it's a concept workers' seleciton!
Next time, I'll go for the standard!
I also got oblivion, one type, but thanks for having it there 🙏.
It has a gaseous and fruity taste, and is light and crisp.
I wonder if this kind of sake is called beautiful sake.
We bought some Japanese pepper from a farmer we know well, which is only available at this time of year ^_^.
Mixed with yakko and chives sauce, it is unbeatable when paired with a delicious sake.
Hi Nanka Yokai😃!
Oh, this is Nozomu's second one! This is Nozomu's second one. ‼️
Don't forget to be thankful 😌 forget to be hopeful 🤗.
Yakko with leek sauce and miyasansho😍Good entrée 😍...
Hitogochi" and Tochigi yeast are used.
The smell is quite fruity🍋 or citrusy?
When you drink it, you first taste the sourness, and then you immediately taste the sweet, delicious, sweet umami 🤤.
The aftertaste is long and ends with a slight bitterness. I feel the freshness and the vividness that is typical of nama-shu, and I feel like I'm going to drink too much of it.
Anyway, it is well-balanced to my taste and delicious to drink. ....
I think it would go better with cheese than dried food such as surume (dried squid).
If I see it again, I'll definitely have it!
Thanks for the treat: ！！！！
Good morning, Komisan 😃.
I'm from Kochira, an all Tochigi restaurant! As you said, it's really delicious 😙.
Sake from Tochigi! There are a lot of good ones, so please try some 👋.
Mr. Jay & Mr. Nobby
Good morning ☀☀☀.
To be honest, I was completely unaware of this sake, which is full of the goodness of Tochigi Prefecture, but after one sip, I became a big fan! 👏.
The world of sake still seems to be wide...
I'll try a variety of them! Thank you 🙇.
Sake from Tochigi
Bo: Junmai Ginjo Hitogochi Unfiltered Nama Sake
I wanted to compare this sake with Nozomu's Hitogochi Activated Nigori, so I bought the Unfiltered Nama Sake. Compared to the active nigori, this one has a better overall balance. The active nigori has a stronger sweetness and umami flavor.
This elegant balance of Nozomu is different from Hirotogawa. Sonoike Shuzoten, which produces Nozomu, is a brewery that won first place in both the ginjo-shu and junmai-shu categories at this year's Nanbu Toji Sake Competition, the first time for a brewery to win a double award. Incidentally, the second place double winner was Urasato Shuzoten, so it was really close!
We are happy to see that there are many local liquor stores that carry Nozomu. It is a sake that deserves to be more popular.
Degree of liking 10/10
Hi nenemu 😃
Nice drinking comparison👍
Indeed! Nozomu-san is delicious... But when I looked at the Tochigi view ranking, there are many strong rivals 😅.
☀️
Sweetness that is not heavy but not salty either🤔.
It's a sweetness that feels deep in the pocket 🧐.
It ends with a touch of astringency at the end.
The ginjo aroma that sometimes escapes into the nose is just the right accent to make it a fun sake to drink 🤗.
