It is delicious. The aroma is not great, but the flavor and mildness make it delicious. Is this the hiyaoroshi feeling? It is easy to drink with no aftertaste of alcohol. It is easy to drink with no aftertaste of alcohol, but it is very satisfying.
Bon hiyaoroshi is a blend of junmai daiginjo (50% polished rice) and junmai ginjo (55% polished rice). The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki from the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture, and this hiyaoroshi is a luxurious spec hiyaoroshi from which the most flavorful parts are extracted. It is aged in ice temperature until mid-summer, and has a mild and structured flavor.
The aroma is gentle, sweet, and noble. The taste is clean and tight when you take a sip. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp like a clear stream. When heated up, the smooth, deep flavor and lingering aftertaste are truly mellow and umakuchi!
Hi Hiyaoroshi" is only available in the fall, but it is so popular that some fans say, "If I could drink it all year round...".
