I bought it because it was a junmai ginjo with a 55% rice polishing ratio and an unbeatable price of 3,080 yen for a bottle.
It seemed to be a good effort, but the flavor was a bit monotonous. It's an acceptable score, but I think it will be better if they work harder to make it more distinctive.
I have high expectations for it.
I bought it at my usual liquor store, so I will buy it again.
The heat has finally settled down and I feel like having a drink.
Let's enjoy the too-short autumn with a sense of nostalgia.
I will be accompanied by dried kibinago (dried young sardines).
It has a sweet aftertaste with a hint of sourness.
It has been a while since I have had sake, but it is so pleasant that it seems to soak through...
Sake is good after all.
Tsukii Sake Brewery's "Hikoichi" is a name that has been passed down from generation to generation since Mr. Hikoichi Sakamoto, the first brewer. Successive generations of brewers have developed their own individuality, releasing as "Hiko-ichi" sake that they feel is delicious and that they want to make.
This time, Aki-agari is made from "Koshigaraku" grown in the local town of Oarai! Please enjoy the taste that has matured over the summer.
Wow! I may have never had this feeling before.
The bitterness of the first attack is amazing!
It disappears, leaving a slight aftertaste.
This is great when drunk cold on a hot day. I like it as a mid-meal drink.
Aroma of rice when the bottle is opened
The mouthfeel is rather calm.
It is not so dry and refreshing.
but the sharpness is not bad.
It is good as a food sake.
However, the bitterness of the aftertaste is strong.
