Anyway, I was fascinated by the retro label, which is a tribute to Touji Fujita's rice cultivation.
Jacket value ... 9/10
Retro labeling is not a must, but it is enough to influence the purchase motive.
Ki ... 14/20
The hue is light golden yellow, the smell is a bit of Alc and straw, and it gives a hint of rice flavor.
Sei... 12/20
The sweet umami that rises in a conical shape, the output is suddenly satisfying, but the texture is cheap, and the numbness and bitterness are a bit of a drag.
Change ... 9/20
The output of Alc numbness on the tongue is OK, but now there is a sublimation smell of rice, or perhaps a chemical smell.
Yui ... 10/20
The combo of bitterness, numbness, and umami from the Alc is OK, but the sublimation smell is still bothersome.
Cost performance ... 6/10
Purchased for 1,375 yen, which is good for this price range.
The smell of sublimation is also an element that divides the evaluation.
60 points
I think it would be good to have no sublimation smell at this point. I'm going too far to the extreme, but that's not good....
By the way, there is no indication of the rice used for the sake...what did Mr. Toji Fujita make?
.
Rice used: 79% Koi no hikikan from Ondo-cho Waiwai-mura
Rice polishing ratio: 70
Sake degree: +3
Acidity: 1.7
For drinking warm to hot, Part 2
Sake bottled in 2028 and aged in a refrigerated cellar.
It doesn't have a strong matured taste, but it has a mild flavor hidden deep inside at room temperature!
It has a mild umami hidden deep inside at room temperature! It tastes good warmed or hot, but the umami is blurred!
4.5
Lately I've been having trouble with all the times I want to drink even on weekdays 😅.
So I'm going to try to find some cheap and tasty ones that my local liquor store has 😋.
This is "Hana Hato", a sake that is probably only available in the local area 🐦.
Aruzome, Nama, Nigori, Kijoshu blend........ I opened the bottle thinking, "They're mixing a lot of things..."!
Well...even if you smell it straight from the bottle...I can't really describe the aroma.
Pouring it into a glass, the aroma is somewhat yogurt-like.
The flavor is also somewhat complex and hard to describe 😭
Stirring does not deepen the flavor... it just makes it more mysterious 😰.
Only raw has a schwarziness 🫧... but personally this is a mistake 😭.
You want it to be schwarzish, you want it to expand the rice flavor... you want it to be sharp... you want it to be fruity... it's all falling apart...
It's been a long time since I drank anything that didn't make me want a cup 😞.
For the same price, I would definitely buy Kamerei Shuzo (dry but with good umami).
Day 2...
This is the first time I've had such a sobering report 😰.
Even deeper doburoku feeling and a parade of bitter and pungent taste... this is seriously no! 😂
I bought this one right away because the Nigori-no-Nagori (ordinary sake) I had the other day was so good.
This may be the first time for me to taste a cloudy kijo sake.
Contrary to the heavy image that comes from the name, the gentle sweetness comes in easily and then disappears. Delicious!
I love the way the taste lightens while being sipped. I would like to compare it with regular nigorizake.
Yae is beautiful in its own way.
Today we have Hana Hato Junmai Ginjo Nama Sake, mild and soft aroma, gentle on the palate. Firefly squid with radish, grilled kinki with salt, and sashimi of chicken clams 😋 #Yaohiro #Yaohiro Tsujido #Tsujido #Fujisawa
Hana Hato's Kijoshu, which we drank last year.
The mouthfeel is fizzy, with a slight sourness in the aftertaste.
It is sweet because it is a kijo-shu.
The acidity in the aftertaste becomes stronger on the second day after opening the bottle, but the original is sweet, so it is easy to drink until the end.
It was delicious until the end.
☀️
It has a clean and light taste.
I personally feel that it is not a typical Hiroshima sake 🤔.
The sweetness is moderate, with just a hint of rice sweetness. It goes down the throat well and has a nice clean taste 😙.
It has a good balance of refreshing and pleasant to drink 🤗.
Hi Hiro!
Thank you for drinking our local sake 🍶😊.
It's a refreshing sake and seems to go well with fish 😀.
There is a port in front of this brewery ⚓️ where I used to fish for conger eel at night when I was a kid!
It is also famous for its Kijo sake!
Hi 10ZG-STQ😄
Thanks for your comment 😊
I see that you are a sake brewery near the port. I would like to visit there. I'd love to drink some kijoshu while watching the sea at the harbor 🤗.
