Of course it is sweet because it is a kijo sake, but it is not heavy sweetness, and it is refreshing thanks to the strong acidity.
This year, there was also a raw version, but I was only able to get the hi-ire version.
It is a very tasty sake, and I hope to get both next year.
Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai HUMAN Touch
Sake from the Iwaya Hanpukai
In contrast to Kaze no Mori
Calm aroma that gives a sense of serenity.
Mature sweetness and umami.
The bitterness gives the impression of balance.
It can be enjoyed at a variety of temperatures 🥰.
I thought it might not be my favorite sake because it is a kijo sake, but it is very easy to drink and delicious!
White malted rice is used as a secret ingredient, so the rich sweetness and elegant acidity are well harmonized.
At room temperature.
The aroma is mellow but with a sense of tightness and maturity.
Full-bodied and sweet on the palate. Smooth texture.
It has a graininess, but it is surprisingly shallow.
The well-defined acidity balances well.
The aroma is mellow, sweet, and delicious, along with fig stewed in wine.
Ate delicious sake.
Taste 4.5/5

One of the management team is from one of Japan's leading parts manufacturers, which has a factory in Akita. At an exhibition at the end of last year, a person from that department brought this sake to the management team, and it was passed on to me 🥰.
The wrapping paper said "Yamahai" so I put it aside for a while, not being that good at it. But I suddenly felt like drinking it, so I opened the bottle!
Brewed in 2019 and manufactured in 2024!
I'm excited 😊.
In the mouth, sweet, ah, but sour like yamahai, but delicious. Eh, I love this sourness, it's mmmm delicious. Is it because I left it for a long time? It tastes mellow and easy to drink. Too bad I finished it before heating it up🤣.
I'm going to give some sweets to my boss who gave it to me. I'll give it to my boss who gave it to me 😆 to tell him to get it again.
Good evening, Ane-san😄
I think Hirasen's HITEN series is getting easier to drink every year, even if it is yamahai 🤔.
Although there are some weird sake that specialize in acidity 😅.
I think it might be the effect of letting it sit for a while lol.
Good morning, T.KISO 😃.
The one I had before gave me an impression that it was quite sour. But this is a habit-forming kind of feeling.
I would like to try the pink low alu type 😊.
Hiraizumi Momota
It's been a while since I've been to Hiraizumi: ❗️
As you can see in the comments, it's a good companion as a food sake.
