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
敷嶋 ひやおろし
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 a gentle sweetness, umami, full-bodied bitterness, and a sourness that quickly disappears. The aroma is very pleasant, with a twang that penetrates the nose.
Tasted at an event held in Otemachi.
It was a little heavier than most light sake. It claims to be a food sake, and seems to go well with sashimi and other dishes.
The aroma is soft and sweet, and when you drink it, you will feel the weight of the rice and the flavor of the rice without so much acidity.
The owner of the restaurant said that since it is a robust sake, it is recommended to have it with a side dish.
I had it with beef halami.
It is true that you can enjoy the taste of sake without being overpowered by the robust flavor of the meat.
