Kick-off meeting for Shiwa 3.0 with Shiwa Brewery
President Tanaka and Toji Ono joined us for the first online sake since the end of last year!
The bottle was opened with the bubbles from the sealed bottle being suppressed because it was an active nigori.
Sourness and bubbles!
The taste is full of rice flavor, as is typical of special pure rice!
A little sourness was added to the nigori of Hirotogawa,
It had a well-balanced finish.
It is a good sake of the same high level as that sake!
It was so good that the meeting was just for socializing!
I hope they make this sake!
If I remember the Hirotogawa nigori at the end of the year,
I'm looking forward to it even more!
The 22nd Hankyu Brewery Festival⑳
The booth of "Hiroki".
Mr. Sato, the vice president of the company, visited us this time.
◉Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu Kurage Label
The sake has a full-bodied flavor with a little bit of a kick.
Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake Hime Nadeshiko
Nadeshiko flower yeast. It has a strong acidity, a slight sweetness, and a clean, refreshing finish.
◉Hiroki Junmai Ginjo, Polishing 50%.
A very strong umami, with low acidity. It is also very tasty.
◉Hiroki Tokubetsu Junmai, 60% polished
This one was served at room temperature. This is the toji's favorite sake. It seems to get even better when heated. He recommends pairing it with yakitori (grilled chicken).
A little nutty with a strong umami flavor. I think I like it a lot.
◉Hiroki Junmai Daiginjo, Polishing 30%-5%.
Made with Yui no Aroma. It has a lot of flavor, and it's just so good. The Yunokou rice is apparently made with Yamadanishiki in mind.
I was told that Hiroki is made with a sake yeast yeast, and Shichu is made with a fast brewing method.
The 22nd Hankyu Brewery Festival⑳
Mr. Hirota Sake Brewery. There was only one kind of the popular purple air and the rest was Hiroki.
The rest were Hiroki. We didn't try the purple space because it was labeled with morning glory, which we have had before.
I drank
Hiroki Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu Kurake Label
Cute label like Shichu.
I don't remember what it tasted like...
I can't find it in a search, but is it a rare one?
Hiroki Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake Hime Nadeshiko
It uses Nadeshiko yeast. Slightly sweet with a refreshing taste.
The aroma is also sweet.
Hiroki Tokubetsu Junmai Polki 60%
Strong rice flavor
Hiroki Junmai Ginjo, Polished 50%.
I think it was sweeter than 60%, which I prefer. I felt a little acidity.
Hiroki Junmai Daiginjo Harajuku, Polishing 30%-5%.
Sweet and tasty, very good!
Hiroki, Iwate Prefecture.
Hiroki is famous for Tobiroki, but this was my first time to visit Hiroki.
It was at a festival.
It is a classic, umami plump type.
Delicious!

I thought it was a Fukushima sake, but it turned out that it was not.

#Drinking at home
Hiroki is made with a mysterious acid base and sweet sake yeast.
It is a gentle and serious sake with a soft but slightly astringent taste.
It is better to savor it while chewing slowly than to drink it in a gulp.
It can be served with sashimi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes without thinking about it.
Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake 🍶 Shibori ✨ this morning
Since I visited the brewery a long time ago and bought it, I've been receiving regular product information from them, so I bought a project.
Sweet, but refreshing 😆 The flavor is also very intense. It's so easy to drink. I used to have the impression that it was a bit more gutsy, but since they started the purple air brand, I think it's evolved into a more modern style 🤔.
