The aroma is thin, the taste and aftertaste are sharp.
It might be suitable as a food sake for drinking at home, but my expectations were so high when I heard that it goes well with soy sauce that I thought it would be like this.
I drank it while thinking that it is not good to believe in it, since tastes and expressions differ from person to person.

It has an elegant acidity that is typical of Hikakami, and the richness and umami that can only be found in nama-shu. It has more umami than super-harakuchi junmai, so it can be drunk on its own while enjoying fish.
The slightly hazy lees are also fantastic, and the light cloudiness of the taste is also good.
If you want to match it with seafood, this is definitely the one to drink!
Tochigi Daytime - Nighttime Outside Drinking (2)
After leaving Kanuma, we took a bus 🚌 to Utsunomiya and made a U-turn 🤗.
In order to reduce the nira feeling 😅 in our mouths, we went into a coffee shop in front of the station and had a parfait 🍦 & coffee ☕️ while our cell phones and we took a short recharge 🔌 break.
After that, we walked to Mekada Sake Brewery to fill our stomachs! We went through the sakes we've had before like HIRO-chan, Yukigumo, Yukidaruma ☃️, etc. 💃 and got the Tsuneyama and Iraka that we were interested in👍.
But when I saw your post, I regretted a little 😓 that I should have bought HIRO-CHAN Nigori too.
After dusk🌆, the next place I headed to was Oto, a restaurant I've been wanting to visit for a long time: ❗️
This popular restaurant is located in a residential area about a 15-minute walk from the east exit of the station. I had made a reservation the night before 🤗.
We toasted with beer 🍻 and then switched to sake!
First we started with Hidakami, which Ars-san also drank 🤗Kochira is a mouth opener! Lucky✌️
I had to wait until the sake arrived to eat some sashimi 🍶 and then I had a big gulp of hikakami 😌pya~‼️ yeahhhh 😚 it all goes well together!
Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was packed with customers.
And with the parade of tsuzumami, one sake bottle will be finished in no time 😋Now, on to the next....
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
Looks like a fun night drinking 🍶 with a break ☕️🍨 at the parlor coffee shop after lunch drinking.
Oto, it's a stylish place 🍽️
It fits Dandy J & Elegant N 👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Hidakami and sashimi is a great pairing. ⤴️
I regret not buying it at the last liquor store I went to 💧.
Megada Sake Shop looks like they have a great selection 😊.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening 🤩🤤←Amaimonosuki
I'm an old man and I want a chocolate parfait 🤩 in an old-fashioned coffee shop 🤤←Amaimonosuki
Hidakami is a delicious sake that can be served alone without disturbing the sashimi 😘.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
The parfait looks delicious 😻For some reason, old-fashioned coffee shop menus are delicious 😊.
I'd like to try the Hidakami Hatsushibori, it has quite a bit of lees 😳!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
The coffee shop has quite a tasteful appearance! The parfait is also very retro, like an old-fashioned... 👍In contrast, the store at night is modern and stylish 😆Hitakami is also nice to see the shop💓.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
Nice evening rush from day date 👫 👍️
I was asked if I would like to open a bottle of Hidakami Kasumi Sake, which was in stock at the store the other day. I was asked if I would like to open a bottle, but I stayed then and regretted it when I saw the review 🙍.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
Megada-san is awesome to have that lineup of nigori lined up, but the two of you who can go through it are even more awesome 🤣.
I've already given up on Mr. Hidakami here because my cellar and fridge are already full 😅.
Hi Koizo 😃
Chocolate parfait is something that even my uncle wants to eat once in a while 😋 We can be both sweet and spicy 😆 This hikakami was a great one to order 🤗.
Hi Pon 😃
I'm so glad to hear that! We were talking about how we wanted to go to a coffee shop 🤗You're right, there is lees! I only drank the top clearings because I opened my mouth 😅.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
Yes, it was! It was the retro cafe ☕️ that we were aiming for👍 but the parfait was more expensive than the hikakami 😆 It was a nice place at night 🤗.
Hi Yasbay 😃
I decided to buy in Japan! I've decided to buy from Japan, and it's a J&N rule that I get the ones I haven't drunk first 🤗But I should have bought Hiro 😓.
Hikami Junmai Hatsu Shibori-Kasumi-shu
The aroma is vinegary and has a strong alcohol smell.
Sweetness is stronger than expected! Banana sweetness and beautiful acidity! I don't think I can smell much of the cork smell! I don't think I can smell it 🍌.
I liked it even better than the Jungin Usunigori I had 2 years ago! I feel like I could drink the sake by itself all the time! 😍
