This is my first time drinking sake!
It is a different type of sake from what I like to drink. But when I drank it with the Tsumami, it was a great match.
By the way, the snack was homemade grilled pork with spicy miso from Aizu.
Tsukii Sake Brewery
Hikoichi Junmai Ginjo
100% Oarai rice
Alcohol 16%.
About 1800 yen
Purchased at the Oarai Sake Brewery Osonoe Shoten in Ibaraki.
There was a sake brewery nearby, but we couldn't find it in time.
I asked the shopkeeper about local sake.
The shop staff recommended this sake.
Hikoichi Junmai Ginjo
The sake brewery is located in Oarai, and they seem to use rice from Oarai.
We recommend drinking it at room temperature or hot.
I drank it at room temperature.
It is dry, not sweet, but has a strong aroma of rice.
I drank it with ankou nabe, which is a dish of grilled squid in a hot pot, and it went very well with it!
As the owner says, it is not an easy sake to drink, but I recommend it when you want a strong drink!

This is the third bottle I purchased at the same store where I purchased the Benten Musume 👀.
I usually drink many well-known brands that are relatively highly rated because I buy by prefecture, but sometimes I want to explore new brands on my own: ‼️
The reason I lost this time is that there are many delicious sake brands in Ibaraki, including Morishima, even if they are not well-known, so I didn't lose anything 😢.
I've been reading your reviews on Sake-no-Wa, so I have most of the brands memorized and can tell which prefecture they are made in, but I've never heard of Hiko-ichi 💦.
I've never heard of "Hiko-ichi" 💦. The label says that the company is from Oarai, Ibaraki, and when I asked the store owner about it, he told me that it is a relatively new brand and that they sell it through a limited number of distributors 😍.
To put it simply, it's a dry sake.
But there is no taste 👅.
Maybe sake drinkers would say this is a good sake that doesn't interfere with food, but for me it's just alcohol water.
From now on, I will only drink Ibaraki sake that is highly rated by Manachie-san, who honestly has no love for Ibaraki 🤣.
3KAN4ON, good evening 🌛I've seen this before even though I live in Ibaraki...? I feel like 🤣Moon's well is also clear and dry, but if you call it alcoholic water, surely 😅Ibaraki love-free reviews are helpful!
3KAN4ON, good evening 😃.
I had heard that Hiko-ichi and Tsuki no I were both dry, so I had been skipping them for a long time, but looking at your review, I thought maybe I was right in skipping them 😅. I thought 😅
3KAN4ON, good evening 🌙.
I was excited to read about this brand because I've never seen it before...too bad 😭I know it's not half as disappointing when it's not to your liking 😢 but I'm tempted to look for it again 😂.
3KAN4ON, good morning ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀ is the brand named after the current president of Tsuki no I. It's basically a locally distributed brand. ❗️ I haven't had this one since the toji changed 🤣 Tsuki no I has been all dry since about the year before last 💪.
Good morning, 3KAN4ON😃.
It looks and feels like it looks good 🤗I have an aper😫 to be adventurous and buy it 😓May be better to choose from the sakewa reviews...no love but a recommendation for sure... ‼️
Hi Mamio 😃
Is this a fantastic sake that is hard to find even for those living in Ibaraki 😅.
If this suits my palate, I wanted to popularize it within the sakewa and be called a guru, but I failed after the first bottle 😂.
Ibaraki 🤣.
Hello bouken 😃
I can't believe that as of today you have reviewed 2,640 different types of sake 😅.
Please drink and review it for the complete list of sake breweries in Japan 🙇.
Hi Pon 😃
A long-established brewery is brewing a new brand named after the founder of the company with a full name: ‼️
I was thinking when I bought it that this is definitely a tasty guy, and that it's so rare 😂.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌇.
I've been having a major ⤴️ image of Ibaraki sake lately in my own mind 😂.
I wonder if my tongue 👅 is right, so I'm waiting for Manachie's Hiko-ichi review 😜.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😝.
Seeing the BOTTLE design and then destroying one of the precious slots in Ibaraki makes me want to cry 🤣.
But someday I'd like to find a brand that is generally unknown but this one is: ✌️
When I returned to Japan, I found the sake I received from my hometown ❤️ and I'm going to enjoy it right away~👍️
The rice is rich ❗Sweet and bitter come together - bitter but tasty is a taste for adults ✨Now, today is LIVE-GYM🎵💃💃💃B'z beer🍺I bought a cup because I wanted one😋.
Welcome back, pyonpyon 😊.
You are very active, running a marathon in Sydney and then LIVE-GYM when you get back home ✨.
You need to rehydrate with alcohol after all that sweat 😁.
Pon-chan I'm home 👋😁✨✨✨I'll settle down drinking at home ❤️ for now I drank it at room temperature so I'll enjoy it warm or cold 🎵The chaser will be in a B'z cup ❤️
bouken-san‼️I'm so envious that you're at the end of the day‼️It reminded me of Nagisaen ⚡⛈️⚡, the rain man 💦I'll be drinking at home and soaking up the afterglow❤️
Masaaki Sapporo, thank you ✨I have a lot of plans 😅I want to go to a sake event and fall is a busy time 💦I'll be home drinking on the days I don't have anything to do 💦👍️
Good evening, pyonpyon. the B'z concert, the torrential rain during the show was bad but they were able to continue 😊SS seats are amazing! And I want to get drunk in Hiko-ichi 😆.
Hi Hirupeko 😃😃It was really bad 💦even my wallet is soaking wet in my pocket😅I'm going to soak up the afterglow today and have some Hiko-ichi with hot sake 🎵.
The first sip gives the impression of being slightly dry, with a strange flavor that may or may not be habitual. However, when served with mozuku vinegar, octopus sashimi, and Camembert cheese, the sake has the power to encompass a variety of exquisitely different tastes. It is delicious.
The sake is said to be made with Koshinraku, a local product of Oarai, where the Tsuki no I sake brewery is located.
It was sweet with a slightly tangy aftertaste.
I did not find it fruity.
