Lunchtime drinking at Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Sweet aroma wafting gently.
This junmai sake has a moderately concentrated and juicy flavor, and the finish is dignified and acidic to tighten the taste. Delicious. ❗️
Today is sobriety day. But since dinner was bonito sashimi, I bought a bottle of Hidakami "Yasuke" for my wife and father-in-law. I have had it before so I'll hold off and post it as an evaluation note.
👩🦰 Wife: 7/10 "A little sweet?" Impression. I wonder if the umami was perceived as sweetness. Aroma of ginjo?
👨🦳 Father-in-law: 8/10 "Excellent", then just barely "Superior". Good!
Hi Kozhikozhi 😃
I can't believe you bought Hidakami-san to go with your entrée while you yourself are abstaining from alcohol! That's a great mentality 🤗.
And your wife finds Hidakami dry taste sweet! You are a strong man 😁Noby and I seem to have the same taste!

The clean and transparent base is typical of Miyagi sake, with a refreshing ginjo aroma of green apples.
In the mouth, the sugar content is low, but the acidity is light and sharp, and the wine is sharply integrated.
It is a classic bottle to accompany sushi and sashimi, and is an excellent match for wasabi, ginger, myoga, and other condiments. It is too versatile.

Repeat Score] 2.5
I have recently noticed that Hidakami is delicious and I get it quite often. This is a year-round sake. I believe that sake brewers are the most enthusiastic about year-round sake. If you are going to do it with fish..." is the catchphrase. I have the impression that this sake has a high degree of perfection as a sake and is good both on its own and with a meal.
It claims to be dry, and I think it has low sugar content, but the fruity taste is probably due to the good aroma. It has a fresh feeling like strawberries or pears. The fact that it is not mild and refreshing is probably due to its dryness.
It is a bottle that I would like to pair with simple dishes. It seems to go well with sashimi.

Dry and tastes better with a meal.
For 2 bottles of Funvino. It was fun to pour it by myself. It is very rare.
It comes from an old legend that Hidakami-no-kuni, a legendary land blessed by the sun, mentioned in the Chronicles of Japan, existed in this area.
As the super dry label suggests, it is refreshing and easy to drink. As recommended by the store as a "summery sake," it has a sharpness that suits summer.

Kirin lemon type 🍋 sharp and dry. Nice bitterness. Fresh ✨Hagi's deliciousness is better. Liver is delicious 😋 Gezowasa is also good. I'm sure they say "If you're going to go for fish, it's Hidakami". The 10 best fish in Miyagi 🐟 is also a great way to learn English 😉.
