Purchased after experiencing a tasting at my usual liquor store.
Fruity and juicy aroma like white wine with a firm effervescence.
The sweetness is refreshing compared to the aroma.
After drinking, it has a somewhat heavy feeling, and you can taste the delicious flavor of rice.
Alcohol 15%.
Rice polishing ratio 50%.

Good aftertaste. The concept of this sake seems to have changed a bit with the change of toji (master brewer). However, it is still an elegant sake with a gentle mouthfeel.
Today... it's Amami, which I was curious about because it was #1🥇 recommended to you by Sake no Wa ✨.
I was supposed to drink it before buying it at a tasting at a liquor store the other day... but I had some business to attend to, so I couldn't drink it because I had to drive there 😭.
The aroma at the tasting wasn't enough for me... I ended up buying a bottle of Akaban Oumachi, which was over my budget 💁.
Now to open the bottle 🍶!
The aroma is not that strong from the bottle, but when poured into a glass, it has a moderately sweet apple, peach, and grape-like aroma 🤤.
A quick sip...mmmm ⁉️
I thought this is hi-iru (fire-iru), but there is no indication on the label that this is a pure sake 😅.
I felt a juicy sensation from the first sip... but the taste is similar to the Takachiyo Grape I drank the other day 🥰.
It has a low bitterness and a good sharpness....this is certainly one of my favorites and I can gobble it up 😊.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's flavor change 😏.
Brewed with Akaban Omachi, this is our accompaniment for tonight. To match the sashimi, I went all out. What kind of marriage will it be? When the bottle is opened, it has a ripe gourd-like aroma. It's not as floral as it sounds. In the mouth, the peach aroma and elegant sweetness is nicely washed away by the acidity. The sizzling sensation on the tip of the tongue is pleasant at the end of a hot day. The aroma made me a little excited, but I was wrong. It is delicious! The sea bream salted with wasabi is a good choice because the sweetness of the fish makes the sake refreshing and light. When paired with the boiled sardines, the sweetness and acidity of the sake washed away the flavor of the fish, making it easy to enjoy. The sake enhances the sweetness of the red clams, which is also delicious. The richness of the shirasu (baby sardine) with pickled egg yolk is also refreshing and irresistibly delicious. The final dish is a charbroiled hamburger (laugh), which is as fruity as the slightly sweet flavor, and is amazing, Okka-san.
When I tried it in a glass of champagne, it tasted lighter and more bitter. This is no good. I thought it would go well with it.
It's fun to drink something that shows many different faces!
Modern dry delicious sake 🍶.
I bought it after reading flos_lingua_est's check-in 🙏.
Fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma. It is fire-aged but fresh and gaseous!
The balance of sweetness and spiciness is dry and slightly acidic with a bit of sourness. 😋😋😋😋
Best with oden (oden stew) and hot sake in a cooler 😆.

Today's dish
Grated hamburger steak✨
We couldn't drink the Hotaru Ten, but managed to GET the Hotaru Matsuri Limited 🥳.
After returning from the liquor store, I quickly prepared dinner and opened the bottle. Pop! I drank it with full of expectation...
Lukewarm 😂.
I really couldn't wait for it to cool down. It tastes twice as good when it's cold✨

Good evening, HINANOHA😄.
Firefly Festival? Limited edition? I didn't know that🤣that's interesting🤔I wonder what it tastes like 🥰.
The paired dishes look delicious as always ❣️ hamburgers are my favorite too💕!
chika-san, good evening😊I was sad to see that Hotaru Ten was sold out, but two weeks later the Hotaru Matsuri Limited was in stock and I immediately went to buy it 😆 It is refreshingly fruity 💖 delicious!
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening😊Yesterday it was lukewarm and half as tasty, but today it tastes so good 😋✨I guess it's pear-like 🤔.
I love hamburgers, grated this time of year 💖.
Tenbi after a long time. Muscat type aroma. It has a strong effervescence! The sweetness leads to the umami of rice, and the slight bitterness lingers for a long time.
It's supposed to be a 15% original sake! It is certainly solid in flavor and does not feel watered down. It has a clean, clean taste with a nice sharpness. It is not too floral and has a delicious sweetness to it, highly recommended.
