I happened to find this at a local Chamber of Commerce event at the brewery. The price was 1,980 yen for a bottle! I didn't hesitate to buy it because of the unbeatable price.
The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and there is a good amount of fruity aroma. I will definitely buy it again next year if it is available.

#Drinking at home
Gentle
The last time I drank it, I thought it had a bit more of a unique flavor, but this time it was just mild.
There is no flamboyance or spiciness.
It tastes like an unseasoned soup stock, with some umami to support the base.
It's not enough to drink by itself, but when served with a side dish, the salty taste of the side dish enhances the sake's deliciousness.
It would be delicious warmed up with dried fish.
Postscript
I refilled the bottle and drank it two weeks later. It is still mild, but the umami has increased and it is a little more dependable.
It will be even better after a few more days.
The temperature difference between morning and evening was about 10 degrees Celsius, so my body couldn't keep up 😅I had to recharge my batteries ❗️, so I opened this bottle in a hurry 💁♂️
It was hard to keep it from gassing up until the bottle was opened 💦So let's get to it. The nose is of fermented lactic acid. In the mouth, the texture is smooth. The aftertaste is refreshing and clean, with a slight bitterness as well as a sourness and a shwashiness. The aftertaste is refreshing and clean.
Serve with potato rolls with pork belly. The sweetness of the pork and Inca mezame (potato) enhanced the mildness and flavor of this sake. They go well together👍.

Good morning, Komacchan 😃.
Yes, sparkling is the best way to heal the intense cold temperatures 🤗.
I'm very interested in the rough and tumble type 😋I'll keep Hiroki Spark in mind 📝.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😁The sparkling gassy feeling blew away the laziness in my body (lol) and along with the delicious taste, I was in a dream before I knew it 😆.
Today we visited Shiwa Sake Brewery, which also ships another brand of Shiwa Sake 😃The brewery owner told us about the different ways of making each type of sake and we even got to taste it at the end of the tour 😋.
I bought this limited edition sake from the brewery 🍶.
Let's get started. The aroma is of koji and some alcohol, with a hint of rice sweetness.
When you put it in your mouth, you first taste the koji flavor, then freshness and a hint of sweetness, along with sourness and umami that spreads in your mouth. It has a clear taste that only freshly squeezed sake can have.
I also visited the nearby Shiwa Shrine ⛩️, where the sacred tree is said to be about 1,200 years old. The grandeur of the shrine combined with the snowy scenery ❄️ was breathtaking 😳Good trip 🚌👍
Rice】100% Ginotome from Iwate Prefecture
Polishing ratio] 70%.

Hi Komachan 😃
A sake brewery tour in the snowy landscape ☃️! Looks cold 🥶 but it was nice to get some limited sake🍶 and do some sightseeing 🤗Bus trip 🚌?
It was given to me by a junior colleague at work.
Thanks 😊
Hiroki" was created with the aim of making "sake that will be appreciated by a wide range of people.
It is a locally famous sake made with a new and old brewing method called "sanki amazake moto" that focuses on the "delicious taste of rice.
It has a sake degree of ➕5, but it tastes crisp and light.
We decided to put the Akanezasu Nouveau to rest and opened a bottle of Hiroki's Akitagio-san, an autumn-only junmai ginjo from Shiwa Shuzo, a well-known Shiwa sake brewery in Shiwa.
It has a gentle aroma and a soft mouthfeel. It has a soft mouthfeel, but it also has a crisp and clean taste, which gives a sharp impression as you finish it. The well-balanced taste is delicious 😋.
It goes well with both yellowtail and crab👍💕💕
I peeled off the label before taking the picture, so the picture looks like a painting, but I'll call it charming 💦.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃You got the okay ⁉️ yay 👏🤣.
I was worried about how the sweetness would come in since it's an Autumn Sake, but it was more than I expected and had a clean aftertaste 💕💕.
I bought it at a liquor store (Ofunato) where I was traveling.
It is brewed exclusively for Tastovan, a sake specialty store in the prefecture, by the Shiwa Sake Brewery, which is famous for its "Hiroki" and "Shiwa.
The aroma is subdued and the taste is refreshing. It is a bottle of sake with a calmness that is not typical for a sake made from unpasteurized sake.

Sparkling Sake
Tokubetsu Junmai Katsugoshi Nigori Nama Shu
Shiwa Shuzo's popular Junmai Activated Nigori Sake made by a female master brewer.
It is a rare sake bottled with the yeast still alive, and after the refreshing carbonation, the delicious taste of rice and rice malt spreads in your mouth!
If the lid is opened carelessly, the sake will overflow, so it takes about 20 minutes to reduce the pressure in the bottle little by little.
The lactic acid type sparkling sake cuts through the fat, so you may enjoy it with a rich dish, fried chicken, or meat dishes.
This sake is rarely distributed due to its very small quantity.
