I hope it blooms.
Slight aroma, soft attack. The taste is dry. It goes in smoothly and has a dry aftertaste.
Sake from Noto. Tengumai assemblage. May spring come to everyone in Noto as soon as possible.

Sake Uragana Ninja - Osaka Version
This is an event where you can drink with a heavy drinker, Kaori Kanishi, and a singer-songwriter, Rio, who is a singer-songwriter.
And it's only 2000 yen for one drink, what a luxury!
And unlike live houses, you can drink the precious sake of Shiga Prefecture.
On the stage, there was a retro bottle of Kitajima for Mr. Kosai and one for me that I hadn't had yet!
Kaori Kosai said that she likes to drink strong and strong sake, so I thought I had to take a lesson from her!
This one has a slightly yellow hue.
It has a rich, mellow, ripe taste, but is relatively mild, and when heated, it has a gentle sweetness.
The aroma is just a hint of sweetness before and after the taste.
It has a beautiful balance that conveys all the information about the sake without being overshadowed by any prominent elements.
Even if you're drunk and your head is in a daze because of all the noise, you'll be able to recreate the taste in your brain!

Good evening, Shinjo 😃.
Looks like it was an intoxicating event, drunk on singing and good sake: ☺️
I was curious about New Hatsuzakura because of its retro label, and I can even imagine the taste with your comment 🤤.

Good evening.
Drinking while listening to the real Mr. Kasai
I was too drunk
The ultimate in luxury
There may be no other place that surpasses it.
This was my first time drinking Hatsuzakura, and it is quite a good sake!
New something is old and good!

Good evening, Shinjo-san. New Hatsu Sakura is Kaori Kosai's favorite sake, isn't it? I love the warming of this sake, as expected of Ms. Kasai😍The label looks so beautiful in the photo, it's too good to advertise.

Good evening.
This is soooo good!
Hatsuzakura has become a brand to buy!
Mr. Kaori Kosai was drinking this and Kitajima.
I was influenced by Mr. Kosai to choose this one in the first place, so I guess he must have had a great influence on me!

Sake Backed Sword Ninja - Osaka, Japan
Aged in 2017.
It is a very mildly aged type of sake with a well-balanced taste of five flavors.
It is even milder and warmer when heated!
I want to drink it slowly at home!
I was so drunk that I paid 400 yen for a 300 yen bottle at Mitomiku and 800 yen for a 600 yen bottle here.

Good evening, Shinjou-san. I see you went to the Sake Uraken Ninja. I'm jealous of the heated corner, Hatsuzakura and Mitomiku's Yamahai 😆 I wanted to go to this event but I'll have to wait until next month's Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour 🥷.

Good evening.
There were so many sake for warming up!
Well, there were also many ninjas!
There was also a flyer for Tokaido, which I thought was a great event! I thought so, but I'm too far away, so I'm waiting for your report!

Koka, Shiga Prefecture. Yasui Sake Brewery.
New Hatsusakura, Junmai Tamakae Hi-iri Hiyoroshi.
This is a sake brewed by the sixth generation of Taro, who trained at Akiga and Tensei.
We couldn't find the unforgettable Namahashitaro at the Shiga Jizake Festival in Otsu 2023, but discovered Hiyadoroshi.
I bought it as well as the difference between Ginbukiyo and Tamakoei.
The unforgettable Namahashidorotaro was good warmed, but this time I tried both.
I will drink it cold.
It is hi-iru, but there is a short gas sound when the bottle is opened.
The color is clear and slightly yellow.
The top aroma is slightly caramel-like and mature, followed by a strong sweet aroma and alkali aroma.
On the palate, a mild acidity spreads to the mouth, followed by a mild nutty flavor.
The nuttiness is strong.
Serve warmed.
At about 45°C, the acidity is assertive and makes the tongue tingle, and the caramel-like flavor is spicy as well.
As the temperature cools down, the tingling goes away and the spiciness mellows out to a slightly caramelized, slightly bitter chocolate flavor.
It is still delicious warmed up.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 70%.
Alcohol content: 16%.

Hi Nemuchi, nice to meet you! I only remember this sake from the second place after drinking quite a bit the other day 😆 The composition was complex but also sweet. Your post reminded me of the taste. I'm going to try heating it up at home. I'm looking forward to it ✨

Yasusan, nice to meet you❗I see you drank Nama Hashidataro 😊I don't often drink heated sake but it was so good I was surprised 😁I heard there are different sake rice between Tamakae and Ginbukiyo, unfiltered raw sake, aged at room temperature and more. Looking forward to your review 😆.

Thanks for the detailed information! I was already drunk when I drank it, so I don't remember how it was made or what rice it was made with.

I think you can enjoy any of the Namahashidotaro 😊According to the keeper of a sake shop in Kyoto that specializes in Shiga sake, the Namahashidotaro will be released around the end of March this season, since it is the last one to be made 😊.

I looked online and found a lot of things that are probably carry-overs from before last year (which looks good for this sake) and it's the end of March! ✨✨What kind of liquor store is that? I'm really interested in specializing in Shiga sake!

It is a quaint liquor store that is sometimes featured on the cover of magazines, Nishimoto Sake Shop 🍶They have a display just like a donkey shop, and some of the items are as old as the date 😁, that's part of the fun 😊I was told there that it is from the end of March to April 😄.

Nemuchi, thank you so much for your kind information! I just saw on the net yesterday ✨that last year's (supposedly) summer sake was on sale 😆 and I was like "oh wow..." 😆 I'll be waiting for the Ikahotaro! I was just thinking 😆 I'll be looking forward to the Ikuhashitaro ✨.

This will be a new sake from Shiga's Hatsuzakura🍶.
This is the first Junmai sake from Hatsuzakura.
The aroma is sweet and sour with a moderate nose.
In the mouth, it has a sweet and sour aroma and a sweet and umami taste of rice with the acidity of a junmai sake like Hatsuzakura, which is a pure sake with a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast.
In general, it is a bit like a lighter version of Hatsuzakura, a sake made from the same yeast as the original.
It was easy to drink and delicious.

Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2023 (7)
Toshihiko Yasui Sake Brewery / "Hatsuzakura" Koka City, Shiga Prefecture
Founded in 1884, well water from the Suzuka mountain range subsoil.
Taro-san, the sixth generation, participates in sake brewing, brews New Hatsusakura, and designs the label.
The label was designed by Taro, who is the sixth generation of brewers.
The specifications are said to be different from those in the photo, but it is a gentle sake, easy to drink, and has a light "nama-hashiroshi" feel to it.
AS TIME GO BY
Aged at room temperature for 3 years. It is a collaboration sake with Hata Shuzo. It is surprisingly gentle and has no sake-like sensation. It has a warming feeling as if it soaks into your body.
Yamada Ginjiro.
This one is also different from the specs in the picture, but they said it was aged for 6 years. Almond aroma from the nose. It has a very strange sweetness and umami taste.
I was quite impressed with this brewery. It is not fruity, but more like an austere, smoldering structure. It is not flashy, but it is a sake that gently accompanies you, but also makes a strong statement.

Aroma with a raisiny flavor.
The acidity comes with a strong and crisp flavor.
I like it because it has a core with a body and a slow flavor.
The name "Taro" is also good.

Raw rice and Nipponharu rice used for rice.
It was R1BY!
Slightly savory aroma, thickening, umami, and acidity like dried fruit.
Somehow, the ones that have been laid down for more than 3 years have an old sake-like feel to them (this is my personal impression).
Personally, it makes me think that I still prefer the fresh one.
I don't buy it by looking at the label on the back that closely.
(Sometimes the brewing year is not written on the label.)
It's a little heavy. I was drinking Laughing Four Seasons during this time (I'll report on that later), so it feels even heavier.
Interesting!

They are serving the raw yeast brewed by his successor, Taro, as "Namahashitaro".
I drank a limited edition of Tamakae, which is a kamishigashitaro, at a liquor store in Hikone, and it was quite tasty with a slight nigori taste.
The label has a retro taste, but it is a summer version.
It has a slightly sweet aroma of rice and a pear-like freshness. Cream soda.
Sweet and thick with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Sweet and sour, but it flows smoothly and smoothly. Delicious!
You can count on it, Taro 😍.
