Cool and chilled.
Green and fresh aroma.
Medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity, it has a gentle sweetness and flavor of rice.
Slightly cherry and red flowery aroma.
It has a slight bitterness with a hint of a square edge.
The end is a smooth pull.
When the temperature rises a little, the rice flavor and sweetness increases at once.
The alcohol content seems to be high, but it is surprisingly easy to drink.

The soft umami on the palate and moderate acidity make you drink it without worrying about the alcohol content.
I drank too much of it and it didn't last more than 4 days..................................
The aroma is mild, with the mildness of rice and a hint of young pear? I think it has a fresh fruitiness!
The mouthfeel is light and shwarming 😳.
The beginning of the taste has a full-bodied flavor, a fresh sweetness, and a moderate bitterness, but the second half has a pineapple or citrus flavor. Citrus? The second half of the taste has a sourness like pineapple or citrus, which remains on the tongue for a good amount of time and finishes off with a refreshing finish.
It also has an elegant gorilla flavor! LOL!
It's delicious.

Shikishima Hiyaoroshi

It was recommended to me along with the ahuri, but the word "juicy" drew me in, and you may have heard me mutter "Oh, I should try the hiyaoroshi" while ordering the ahuri. They gave me a glass of this as a service. It's a seasonal version, so I don't really like summer sake or hiyaoroshi, but I can't drink it otherwise, so I end up drinking it. It's a sake with a strong personality that makes me feel like I'm being pointed.
Otemachi Young Dawn 2025 first half
Yamadanishiki 18%, strong flavor
I couldn't get a good picture of the label, so I got it from the internet (the back side was fine).
Sake from a sake brewery that I saw in a sake feature in danchu. This sake has a slight color, rice flavor, acidity, and a subtle woody aroma. It matches very well with Iburi Goko Tartar, and is a great match for dark foods.
It is made from Tamakae, a sake rice produced in Aichi, Japan. It is characterized by gentle sweetness, umami, full-bodied bitterness, and a sourness that quickly disappears. The aroma is very pleasant to the nose. 1,700 yen.
