The taste is not dry and refreshing, as is typical of Niigata sake, but rather has a firm and calm taste. However, it still has a nice sharpness, so it was easy to drink. It was delicious.
The bottle was opened and the aroma was delicious.
When the bottle was opened, it was fragrant.
No aroma after a while
The mouthfeel is clean and soft.
Like well chilled mineral water.
There is almost no scent in the nose.
It is dry but soft.
Is other Hishiko like this?
As always, a cosy and easy to drink drink drink.
Aftertaste like Andes melon 🍈.
Just not as impactful as the last time I drank it 🤔(maybe I have a cold...)
We usually drink a bottle of sake, but this day was a rare occasion for us to compare with Kawakame 🤗.
Our partner was Ryoko's first dry sake ‼️
I'll make love to you
The aroma is surprisingly fruity 😌.
The aroma is surprisingly fruity 😌 and when you take a sip, you'll be surprised! It tastes like THE sake🍶😋, but maybe it's because I still have some of Kawakame's peculiarity on my tongue🤔, it feels very heavy😓I stopped after about 1/3 of the bottle this day✋.
The next day, I had it first to reconfirm the taste of Hishiko!
It was a completely different experience from the first day, it was like a dry sake with a strong aroma 😋 and a delicious food sake 😚.
I guess the order of drinking is important 🤔.
😅I bought a bottle of this one along with the Keiraku Nagosasake because it was too expensive 😊.
I think most dry sake is reasonably priced, isn't it?
By the way, yesterday I had my blood drawn for my regular checkup 🥲I went without alcohol on Tuesday and Thursday this week and drank beer🍺 on Wednesday, but now the results are...
🎊No problems with my numbers, including liver function 🤗Maybe this will shorten the period of sobriety before my physical exam next year again 😄.
And..! Tonight is the first Tochigi Prefectural Meeting since March, a whopping 8 months ago: ‼️
I'm ready for a walk and now I'm off to have some fun 👋!
Hi Jay & Nobby😃Good to hear that your regular checkups are fine! Maybe the daily walking is good for you 👍You can enjoy drinking again this year 😆Tochigi-Kenmin-Kai sounds like a lot of fun: ❣️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The order in which you drink and the food you eat with it is very important 🧐.
I've recently come to understand that that makes a big difference to the taste impression 😅.
The Tochigi Pref. party sounds like fun 🍶🍻.
Good evening, Dr. Jay and Mr. Nobby.
Mr. Hishiko and Collage-kun are President Miyazumi's ......
That's quite a sake 🍶☺️❣️
Thank you for the checkup‼️ and the future of sake life is getting brighter and brighter 😀✨.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the 🙇♂️Please enjoy the meeting ❣️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
The order is important. I often find that if I drink them alone on a different day after comparing them, I have the same feeling of "what the heck? I often have a problem with that.
I'm sure you will have a good time drinking at the prefectural meeting after the medical checkup and walking 😊.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I often feel the difference in taste depending on the order in which we drink the drinks 😅 we have 3 or 4 drinks together every day 😅.
By the way, I hope you had a good time drinking at the prefects' party😇.
Sake-no-wa drinking parties are the best😇
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, I'm still waiting for my physical next spring! I still have a physical exam next spring 😅I think I can push on with my drinking activities until then 🤗Tochigi-Kenmin-Kai is a fun and friendly group 😊.
Hi shinsaku3 😃
It's hard to compare drinks including pairings 🤔 we don't usually do that 😅.
The Tochigi people's group is a lot of fun 😚Next time, how about a business trip to Utsunomiya 🤗.
Hi Muro 😃
I didn't know that Hishiko and 寫楽 are connected in a way 😳I'm so glad you're here, Dr. Muro! You know so much ‼️ I had too much to drink last night 😅I had a lot of fun 🤗Have fun next time 🤗How about next time?
Hi ma-ki-😃
Sometimes it really is a different drink 🤔.
I had so much fun at the prefects meeting that I lost track of the pace😅I'm concentrating on recovering from my hangover today😆.
Hi Yasbaye 😃
Yasbaye-san, the drinking master, seems to be enjoying the difference too 🤗 We had a great time with each other offline on the same day, East and West 😄.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
I'm glad your checkup results were uneventful! It's a result of your daily walking and taking a day off from drinking 👍It's true that dry sake is reasonably priced! I wonder if the rice polishing ratio makes a difference in the amount of sake produced 🤔.
This is the first time I've seen Hishiko with this label.
It was very refreshing.
We were almost done for the day.
We finished up the day with a comparison of the takachiyo we had poured more than we should have.
knowledge of the brewing process
Alcohol 16 degrees
Sake degree ±0
Acidity 1.5
Ingredient rice Domestic rice (undisclosed)
Polishing ratio 60
At the end of last month, I was at a liquor store in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture (probably a famous store) and asked the store's brother what sake he recommended and for some reason he recommended this sake from Niigata Prefecture 😁.
But it was recommended to me because it is a delicious autumn sake with a hint of sweetness😄.
Thank you for recommending this delicious sake to me ❗️
Hishiko's summer sake, which was left for a year after mistakenly thinking it had been drunk
The aroma is still very fresh, not at all like a year old sake.
It smells like green apples and is fruity.
The taste has a slightly nutty, aged flavor, but the refreshing acidity does not bother me too much.
The overall balance is just right with a full-bodied flavor.
It tastes much better than I expected.
A good summer sake that is both refreshing and drinkable.
For girls who are not sure which one to drink, this is the one! Ryoko recommends it 🩵 Sparkling acidity, juicy sweetness of citrus fruits close to dekopon 🍊Ah, it's delicious 😋.
Purchased from Saito Sake Shop in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture.
Hishiko" brewed by inviting a certain 🍶 production manager from Fukushima.
High expectations.
Manufactured in 2024.09
Alcohol level is 16 degrees.
Rice polishing ratio is 60
The rice used is Yamagata Prefecture's Yamashu No. 4 sake rice.
When opened, the aroma is light with a faint 🍐 feeling.
Taking a sip, the matured sweetness and roundness first spreads on the tongue.
When swallowed, it has a slight sourness, but at the same time the bitterness and astringency stand out. The bitterness lingers as an aftertaste. The quality of the sake is light, as is typical of Niigata Prefecture.
The sweetness in the mouth is to the taste. It has a bitter taste that goes down the throat, making it a good choice as a mid-meal sake.
Niigata Trip Booty✨
Sake brewed by the former head of the production department of a famous sake brewery in Aizu? I was curious to buy it because it was brewed by the former head of a famous sake brewery in Aizu.
So I was curious and bought it: ‼️
It's labeled "mellow and delicious" 📝.
I see 🤔This is delicious 😋.
clear and fruity
Slight aroma, sharp attack. The taste is clean and fruity. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
It has a light autumn taste 🤣.
