HIRASEN HITEN HIKU HAKUCHO Type C
This is the second bottle of the one I bought at the pre-sale at "Young Dawn 2025" in September!
It is a sweet and sour brew made with No.77 yeast, Yamahai yeast, white malted rice...
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
I was so captivated by the acidity of Marubi that I wanted to try another brand, so I bought this Yamahai from Hiraizumi.
As the label says, it is not a clear sweet/acid type, but rather a dry sake that is perfect as a food sake.
It is not overly acidic like Maruhi, but rather mild and naturally acidic.
Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai Sake Marutobi Misato Nishiki Hi-ire.
We will start with a bottle of Tobirazumi, one of the five bottles in the set that was sold at the time of UTAGE's announcement of the major renewal of UTAGE. This one is made from 60% polished Misato Nishiki and brewed in the Yamahai method.
It has a slight yellowish-brown color, a nose with nuances of lime and lemongrass, sweet and sour acidity, and a slightly bitter aftertaste that is refreshing and crisp.
When paired with oily Chinese food, the acidity reset the palate and made for a good marriage!
Attracted by the low alcohol content of 12% and the sake content of minus 20, I could not resist the urge to try it!
It has a fruity aroma and a fresh and watery mouthfeel!
I did not feel the sweetness of minus 20 strongly, and even felt a little spicy at the finish... It gave me the impression of a well-made sake.
It is a drink that can be drunk in large quantities, so be careful 👀.
This month's sake from Mimasu Sake Shop Subs and Mimasu Club. Hiraizumi Yamahai Junmai 3-year aged sake. According to the brewer, he recommends drinking it in a flat sake cup, and it certainly has a different flavor over time. It is a classic sake and would be delicious heated.
Hello, Jyunichi!
