I opened a bottle of Hiran, which I had left a little bit!
Sad that you can't even buy it in the online store these days...
I like the feeling on the day of opening (I drink it with fish like sashimi), but after 2 days, I feel I can drink it with any kind of food.
This is a special bottle that is positioned as the pinnacle of the Hiraan range. 100% Yamada-Nishiki produced locally in Hirado is used and polished to 39%. It is brewed using the traditional sake yeast. How does it taste?
It has a clean and beautiful taste that is typical of highly polished sake. It has no peculiarities and has a nice aroma that anyone can enjoy. However, it also has a unique character that comes from the sake's nama yeast, and I sensed a creamy orangey citrus flavor.
Sometimes when I drink high-end sake, I notice a lot of things.
Good morning, Yutaka!
Congratulations on your 100 check-ins 🎉.
It's great when a milestone sake becomes your favorite sake 🤤!
Have a great sake life 🤗!
A slightly unusual sake with a QR code that allows you to check the rice and brewing method by drinking the sake. It has a sour taste and is easy to drink and goes well with meals.
This is what I think of when I think of "Hiran"! This is actually the second bottle of Kagura ⛩️ that I have purchased.
It's a pleasant bottle with a fresh citrus aroma and acidity, while still retaining the Aslan's typical rummy feel 🍋.
I used to bring home grilled chicken with sauce to pair with it 🦤.
It was my best friend as a sweet and salty lover because it goes well with sweet and salty side dishes 🤝.
Hiran reborn × cedar
Kijo sake
Pear or woody aroma

I think I had a juice or something with a similar taste somewhere, but I can't remember what it was.
I found myself at 200 check-ins 🍶.
I was wondering what to get for my next commemorative sake, when I stopped by a special store of Jiran and saw the last one of this 😍.
I missed the timing and gave up this year, so thanks for the unexpected encounter. 🙇♂️
Now, as for the taste, the first aroma smells like melon and melon 🍈.
The overtone aroma is like melon 🍈 and the overtone aroma also has a strong melon aroma!
Although it is a kijoshu, it is not too sweet, and I think it is a rather refreshing sake due to the slightly strong gaseous taste 🤔.
I have the impression that the acidity is the most effective among the sweet, tasty, and acidic types, but the three balance each other out without fighting each other, making it a sweet and refreshing shuwashu that is not like a kijoshu 😊.
I thought it was less sweet and easier to drink than the regular version of Reborn ✨.
This is also delicious😍!
500ml was emptied overnight 😂.
The third picture is of me trying the adult affogado that my favorite liquor store recommended 🍨 by pouring this over vanilla ice cream.
I thought it would be too much sweetness on top of sweetness. I thought it would be too sweet and too sugary, but surprisingly, it went perfectly with it and felt like a dessert to finish off a fine dining restaurant 😊.
As a citizen of Nagasaki Prefecture, I am proud of Mori Sake Brewery👍
Good evening, Chirsta 😄.
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins 🎉㊗️
I'm sure you're a Nagasaki native 👍Tobiraman is a great way to celebrate 🤩! I'd like to try it, even though it's a noble sake, it's not too sweet and refreshing. ❣️ Please let me support Hiran with you too 🥰.
Good evening, Chester 🌛Congratulations on your 200 check-ins 🥳If it's a kijoshu and nigori and it's from Hiran, it's sure to be delicious 🤤I'm jealous you're local because this is a brewery I'm personally looking out for ✨.
Good evening Hina Hana Mama 🌝Thank you 🙇♂️
I decided to go with Hiran for the Kiri No. 1!
It's a bit sweeter than Reborn 🤔.
Please continue to support Hiran👍!
Good evening Nao888 🌝.
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
The regular version, Reborn, is delicious, but the raw sake is twice as good as the nigori version 😍.
Hiran is a great brewery that I wish more people around the country would try ✨.
Good evening, Mr. Chesta. Hiran is chosen as a delimiter, I would love to reach Hiran as I am in the neighboring prefecture of Kumamoto. My 4 favorite restaurants don't seem to have it. I will do my best to find it.
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins✅🎊🎉, Chesta!
I love that you got the number with Hiran's Kijo sake 👑!
If it's a good sake, 500ml will kill you in a blink of an eye 😋!
Keep up the good sake life ✨!
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins, Chirsta: ㊗️🎊
It's intoxicating to have a local brew to be proud of ☺️
And you met your first one 😊I feel like it was destiny 😁.
Let's continue to enjoy the sake life in various ways 🍶😄
Good morning, Chirsta!
Congratulations on your 200th check-in 🎉!
It's nice to have a milestone sake with the sake you've been wanting to drink 🎵.
Sake that is not too sweet is also delicious 😋.
Have a great sake life from now on 🤗!
Hello AAJI😃
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
Kumamoto seems to have 2 dealers 👀.
I think there are relatively more chances to meet you in Nagasaki Prefecture, so if you have a chance, we are always waiting for you via Shimabara across the sea 🫡.
Hello YSTJ 😃.
Thank you so much 🙇♂️
I was also excited about the ice cream and used Haagen Dazs vanilla 🤣.
You're right, it was a luxurious adult indulgence 😍.
Hi Hiro 😃
Thank you very much 😃🙇♂️
I had an image of kijoshu as being sweet and heavy, but this one has a refreshing taste and a gaseous feeling, so it went down a treat and when I realized it, the empty bottle was lying around 😂I'll keep going at my own pace 💪.
Hi Aladdin😃
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
There are many breweries in Japan, but Mori Sake Brewery, which brews Hiran, is my favorite by far, and my love for Hiran is as strong as yours 💪.
I'm going to try to enjoy it in different ways from now on 😊.
Hi ma-ki-😃
Thank you so much 🙇♂️
I was so excited when I found it because I was about to give up 😭
I'm also into the clear kijoshu which is also very good ✨.
I tend to overwork my liver lately so I'll keep at it 😅
Hi Chirsta, ☀️
Congratulations on your 200CI 🎈㊗️🎉
I see you were able to purchase this one 😆 It's really not too sweet, just the right amount of shwash to kill the moment 🥳I knew it would go well with vanilla ice cream - I'll do it next time👍✨.
Good evening, Chirsta 🌛.
Congratulations on reaching 200 check-ins 🎉!
Nice of you to bring a local sake for the anniversary post 🥰.
I didn't know there was a "Hiran" kijoshu 😅Afogado is intoxicating too!
Good evening, Chirsta 😄.
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins ㊗️🎉🎊It's nice to be a Kiri number with local sake 🤗
Kijoshu and ice cream 🍨 go well together 😘.
I do it sometimes when I drink kijoshu too 😉👍
Hello Kotaro 😃.
Thank you 🙇♂️
I appreciate the chance encounter 🙏.
It was so refreshing and shwashy, I emptied it in one night 😂.
I highly recommend it with vanilla ice cream!
Hi Gyve 😃.
Thank you so much 🙇♂️
I had decided to go with the Hiran for my anniversary drink, but I didn't think I would come across this one✨.
There are several varieties of Reborn, but I think this is the one that goes well with ice cream👍
Hi Tsubu 😃.
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I was just aiming for this one, so it was a good commemorative sake ✨.
I also discovered the deliciousness of kijoshu x ice cream with this one, so I'd like to try it with other kijoshu in the future!
Hello, Chirsta 😃.
Congratulations on your 200 CI 🎉.
Memorial to your local Hiran, you are a quintessential 👍.
Looks delicious Cloudy and what a stylish adult affogado! Keep up the good drinking 🍶.
Good evening ichiro18 🌝.
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
The commemorative sake was Hiran, I couldn't give up on this one👍.
Kijoshu x vanilla ice cream, I think I'm going to be addicted to this 😊.
I'll keep working on my liver and go at my own pace 🍶.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌝.
Thank you 🙇♂️
Afternoon Sakey🤣.
How wonderful it sounds ✨
I'd love to enjoy it on a Sunday afternoon when I have nothing to do that I want to spend in elegance👍
Purchased at the first liquor store I visited in the city.
The owner is very particular about his lineup✨.
I was shaken by the fact that they had both Akabu and Hiran!
Nikomaru☺︎
Fruity, fruity, fruity.
Too delicious...
Hiran ? (Hatena)-2 2025
Made from domestic rice
Polishing ratio: -%.
Alcohol content 14
Sake meter degree - Acidity
Fat bottle opened 10/25, posted 11/6
I was able to get the "Ⅱ" following the "Ⅰ" because of the limited edition sake with undisclosed specs 😳.
This time I tasted it thoroughly and after thinking about this and that, I read the QR code and answered the questions!
The results are...
The result was....
100 out of 100 🎉.
I'm getting my stupid tongue back!
I would like to say that I got 100 points out of 100, but there are hints and choices, so if you can smell, taste, and feel the aftertaste, you will get points!
There are 4 questions and each question has a different score.
I will not write about the smell and taste, which are always mentioned here! It would be a spoiler for future drinkers 😁.
I was surprised that they use this type of rice!
It tasted different from "Nikkomaru" and other "Hiran"!
Hiran is...
Delicious!
Hi Koizo 😃
Hiran is rapidly gaining popularity in my opinion 🤩 but I didn't get the hatena only 😅Congratulations for getting all the questions right 👍You have a very discerning palate after all 👏Firan is definitely delicious after all 🥰.
Good evening, young man 🌝.
100 points 💮Surely you are right 👏.
By the way, I was only able to get 10 points even though I call myself a fan of Fei Lan 🤣.
However, my love for Hiran is as strong as anyone else's ......
Hina Hana Mama
Good evening 😍.
I know you have been drinking a lot of Hiran lately 😘I think all of them are refreshing to me too 😍I'm happy with 100 points, whether by chance or magret 😁.
Ms. Chirsta
Good evening...thank you for your comment...I have read your detailed report...I see that Hiran has been inducted into the Hall of Fame! I'm glad you felt that it was a unique flavor and not a normal seed rice or production method.
Hiran ? (Hatena)1
2025
Made with domestically grown rice
Polishing ratio: -%.
Alcohol content 14
Sake meter degree - Acidity
Fat bottle opened 9/21, posted 11/6
This is a limited edition sake with no other specs disclosed except for the alcohol content 😳 There is also a "Ⅱ" in addition to the "Ⅰ".
The QR code on the back of the label allows you to read and answer questions to find out the answers...
I heard that...
Yes... I threw the bottle away before I saw it 😭! I threw the bottle away before I saw it 😭
After opening the bottle, you can smell the distinctive citrusy aroma of Hiran!
In the mouth, the citrus taste is more subdued than the aroma, and the acidity spreads with a good sweetness and slight carbonation.
The lingering taste is also bitter with acidity, which is also found in Nikomar 😊.
I wonder what seed rice they use🤔.
Perhaps...
Yum!
? (Hatena) Continue to 2😘.
