Mizuo Kurenai Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi
Rice used: Kinmonnishiki, Polishing ratio: 49%, Yeast: 14
The bright aroma and clear crispness are impressive. Sake with a lustrous image like the color "beni" (red). It has a refined taste and deep aroma.
Kanazawa yeast No. 14 has an elegant aroma. After six months of aging, it has become a little more matured.
It has a nice, refreshingly sweet aroma, like peaches in a moderately blue melon ✨.
The mouthfeel is soft and clear, but really low astringency and quite smooth...!
The taste has a beautiful flavor from behind the transparency and a moderate sweetness that also has a peachy feel to it, with a hint of acidity like 🍍 that somehow leaves a clean aftertaste? It has a slight sourness like 🍍 that refreshes the aftertaste 😳.
Delicious!
I want to drink more but I regret that it is a weekday.... LOL!
It feels like a sharp sensation in the throat.
It is not mellow, but it leaves a certain amount of sake in the back of the throat.
The aroma seems to linger even for a sake made from sake.
At my first liquor store
Bought this book to compare with the best sommelier's evaluation in Japan for the 2nd Sake Diploma exam.
The book is a few years old, so the ingredients in it may have changed...
Cold sake.
Aroma of white peach fruit and minerals
Gentle umami on the palate.
Sweetness and acidity are well balanced in the aftertaste.
Souvenirs to compare 3 kinds of MIZUO
This one was the best so I only posted this one: ‼️
It has "Beni" in the name,
At least I drank it with a headbang 🫨.
It has a fruity taste on the palate.
The umami of the rice comes through well,
It has a nice dryness that is typical of hiyaoroshi (cold sake), and it finishes with a nice clean feeling.
I paired it with sardine nameko and chicken stewed in grated radish, and it was really good.
I was not a fan of Kinmon-nishiki, but this is really good. ‼️
I drank it while headbanging in an izakaya for the time being 🫨.
If you see an old guy in an izakaya, it's probably me 🫨.
I'm soaked in sake.
There is no one to comfort me anymore🫨.
Hmmm, someone comfort me ❤️
No, someone stop me from getting drunk when I drink while hebdomadally: ❤️
Good evening, Manachie-senpai!
I understand that "Beni" makes you feel excited, but it's a bit of an outrage to headbang while drinking alcohol... 😵💫
Please enjoy yourself with endless saké, not endless rain 😁♪
Hi Hissan😃I drank while headbanging and as expected I got slightly drunk🤮‼️
I'm so excited when I'm drinking that I'll be singing and drinking Endless Rain too 🤣Let's hear my dirty back voice during the chorus 🤣‼️
The one I bought as a souvenir on a previous trip to Nagano.
I let it sit for quite a while.
It was one of the top sales ranking ones at the store.
It has a strong taste, not too spicy for Nagano.
It has a sour taste and is easy to drink. Delicious.
Mizuo Tokubetsu Junmai-shu Kinmon-Nishiki Hiyoroshi
Rating 4.4
A sake with an exquisite sense of maturity and a deep, umami flavor unique to junmai sake, with a deep, full-bodied and crisp taste.
The aroma has a melon-like richness.
