The Hioki Sakura🌸 is powerful in its lore.
I bought it at Ikebukuro Tobu about a year ago, drank some and then let it sit at room temperature.
It was brewed well and crisp, without any sagging at all.
I warmed it up to 40℃, 45℃, and over 50℃ at Nobee Yokocho and tasted the heated sake, but as expected, the higher the temperature, the brighter it became.
The main snacks were
A dish of baked thick fried tofu topped with meat sauce and cheese.
The flavor of this sake is enhanced by heating it from room temperature to warmed sake!
It is a very rich and impactful sake.
Sake connoisseurs will love it!
It is R3BY, but it is more colorful than I expected.
I thought it would be like that, but it's already been seven years since 2025. I'm afraid that the speed at which time passes and the speed at which I feel time passing are too far apart.
Anyway, the color is a bright golden yellow.
The aroma has a sense of maturity. Black tea, red dried flowers, tropical fruits, and a hint of seashore.
The taste is calm even at room temperature, probably because it has been open for a while. The acidity is the main flavor, but the sweetness of the base makes it easier to read than expected. The quiet minerality and bitterness are pleasant and delicious! It's not quite a "good" wine, but it's pleasant to the body.
Warm it up.
Oh, I can't resist. It's so comfortable. The rich umami and sweetness spreads to the palate and relaxes the whole body. The acidity and bitterness finish off the taste, so you can't stop drinking.
It has been about one month since the bottle was opened. It is much better now than when it was just opened.
It's still good. It's a comfortable sake that soaks into your body.
Izakaya Monorail Tottori Sake 3️⃣
This one was the most unique sake in our drinking comparison, here is Hioki Sakura 😀.
The appearance is clearly recognizable gold yellow 🤣.
The aroma is also unique, nuance of old sake 😀.
According to the explanation of the brewer, this sake is made with lactic acid bacteria and yeast from the brewery and matured for a long period of time 😀.
It was a little bit too much for me as a child, but it was an interesting sake 😀.
Hi Yasubeyesan 🌞.
San-in region's heated sake has a bit peculiar aroma, doesn't it? I don't like it either😅.
By the way, it's interesting that Osaka has events where you can drink sake on the tram or monorail 😊.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 😀
This time I drank everything cold, so I didn't feel it that much, but it seems like there are a lot of very peculiar drinks 🤣.
You can charter a tramcar and have a drinking party 😀.
The heated sake train in Shiga looks interesting too😇.
