The label on the front reads 0:30, perhaps because it is a limited edition at midnight.
The color is slightly pinkish. This color is derived from the black rice used to make it, and it appears to turn pink when brewed.
The taste is dominated by sweetness, followed by acidity, and has a sweet sake-like nuance.
Most nigori sake is usually described as a lactobacillus drink, but this one is a little different and has an interesting personality.

The 300th check-in completed HINEMOS from 18:00 to 5:00.
At the HINEMOS specialty store in Nakameguro, Tokyo.
HINEMOS lineup at 5pm.
The aroma and taste are crisp and yogurt-like.
The alcohol content is only 2 degrees, and the sweetness predominates, just like amazake (sweet sake).
It is a good way to introduce sake to those who are new to drinking sake or those who shy away from sake, as there are many different types of sake.
It may seem like juice to those who drink a lot of sake, but it tastes quite good, so this is a good choice.
It is better to drink it slowly by itself than with food.
Congratulations on 300 check-ins, um🎉!

22:00 out of HINEMOS lineup.
The sake has an elevated number for a kijoshu.
The taste is noticeably acidic, bitter, and robust with a touch of alcohol.
As I felt with ICHIJI's limited edition sake, HINEMOS' kijo-zake may be less sweet.
The description also recommends pairing it with sweets and cheese, which is interesting because there are few other examples of such pairings.

As the description says, the aroma and taste impression is completely lemon sour.
The slight carbonation is also pleasant. Easy to drink with carpaccio.

Limited edition ver. 1:00 of the HINEMOS lineup.
The aroma is similar to ginjo aroma, and then there is a sense of calpis.
The taste is generally marked by bitterness and acidity, and the sweetness is moderate for a kijoshu.
If you are thinking of pairing it with chocolate, then perhaps a bitter sake would be better suited.
It was an interesting kijoshu.

HINEMOS lineup of sweet sake. 0:00.
The slightly reddish hue is due to the fact that it is brewed with old rice.
Tastes like peaches. Very fruity and light due to the low alcohol content.
The flavor is enhanced by aging in cedar barrels, a Japanese material that has had a deep connection with sake since ancient times. The blend of wine yeast adds depth and complexity to the aroma and taste. This sake has a light, mature taste.
A complex, drinkable sake aged in cedar barrels
By blending sake yeast and wine yeast, we have created a complex blend of umami, bitterness, and acidity. In addition, by aging the sake in cedar barrels prior to shipping, a cedar aroma is added that cannot be produced by rice alone. This gives the flavor even more layers. It is recommended as an introduction to aged sake, as the deeper it gets, the more flavorful it becomes.
HINEMOS currently offers 12 brands, and ROKUJI, which is not too dry but has an elegant sweetness, is popular among a wide range of people.
The limited edition brand is based on a dry base, but arranged to have a more refreshing aroma and sweetness. It has a pleasant aftertaste perfect for the early summer season.
Refreshing aroma like muscat and fresh banana. The mouthfeel is smooth and gentle, and the sharp acidity is refreshing.
The aftertaste has a bitterness like grapefruit, and the freshness of the aroma lingers long in the aftertaste.

This sake is based on the concept of time.
There are 12 brands from 6:00 in the evening to 5:00 in the morning, each with a completely different flavor. The one we drank this time was the 3 o'clock brand.
It is aged in cedar barrels and is a bit thick.
The taste is dry with a strong acidity. However, it also has the aroma of cedar barrels, and I would recommend it as an introduction to aged sake.
It was delicious.

This is also a dry sake at HINEMOS. 23:00.
It has a similar taste to NIJI, but this one has more acidity and a bitter aftertaste.
It is polished up to 50%, so it has less of a miscellaneous taste, but surprisingly, I felt more alcohol in the aftertaste than NIJI.
I think it goes better with light dishes such as white fish sashimi.

Dry in the HINEMOS lineup. 2 o'clock.
Aroma: sweet apple.
The taste is dry with a refreshing bitterness and a faint apple aftertaste.
The taste is similar to that of white wine.
Sake based on the concept of time
It's a type of sake that is relatively easy for women to drink.
Some of them are quite spicy, so it depends on the type.
There are pop-ups in various places.
You can sample a lot, so it's great to be able to try all the varieties before you buy.
But it depends on your luck where they are popping up.
The bottles are stylish and make great gifts!
