Holo sweet and sour from watery clarity.
It is easy to drink without any aroma.
On its own, it is a little unsatisfying.
But with oily food, it can be a very good sake.
680 yen/glass cup (less than 100ml)
It has a clean, medium or slightly dark flavor with a hint of bitterness. It is brewed with 70% polished rice, which is a high percentage of unpolished rice, but there is none of the complexity, harshness, or peculiarity that can be found in such sakes, and I think it is brewed well and beautifully.
My wife and I tried a few and decided that it would be a good choice since it is low in alcohol content. But when I looked at it, it was 17%...?
Green Mai used.
The spiciness is accompanied by a slight acidity.
The spiciness runs dry from the middle to the aftertaste.
A gentle umami taste comes in at the end.
Green apple and melon-like aromas are faint.
When you drink it, the rice is delicious! Smooth and full-bodied.
The moderate acidity is beautiful, and the finish is light without being overly full.
It is deliciously spicy.
It has an orthodox feel.
A good match for a tender "ale".
Taste degree ☆ 3.5/5

The flavor is slow and steady.
The bitterness is slow and steady.
It rocks 😎.
I felt the fatness of the flavor, but it disappeared easily without getting stuck at the end.
He was a good puller 🫥.
Today is the first visit to the San-in region. First time! Even though it is from the Hiaue Sake Brewery, the sake we encountered was not a standard sake. It is the first sake made with white malted rice.
In the mouth, it has light acidity and a hint of sweetness, with a citrusy aroma reminiscent of white wine escaping through the nose.
The bitterness is kept in check, so it is delicious even when drunk on its own, and since it has a mouthfeel reminiscent of white wine, it is best served with dishes involving olive oil. It is good with sea bream or octopus carpaccio. It is delicious.
The first sake that the brewery tried was excellent, so my expectations for their regular sake have been raised considerably.
I'm looking forward to encountering it somewhere, as I enjoy "no charge" encounters that I don't order in.

Lingering] Short to medium. Refreshing acidity and mild bitterness disappear softly.
Impression: Junmai Ginjo with a modern, light flavor.
The aroma is a fresh, fruity ginjo aroma.
The taste is sharp, light and dry, with a pronounced citric acidity from the white malted rice. The palate is light and cool, with a subdued Omachi-like fullness. The sharpness may be supported by the Omachi.
The ginjo aroma is soft and elegant, well balanced with the acidity, and does not tire the drinker.
Pairing
Pairs well with light Japanese dishes such as white fish, dashimaki, wild vegetable tempura, chilled tofu, soba noodles, etc.
