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.
Repeat Score] 2.0

I went to Okuizumo in Shimane Prefecture to eat new soba noodles.
We stopped by the local Hikami Sake Company and bought some Aki-agari.
Hiyayogoshi was sold out 😭
After swallowing, it went from the back of my mouth to my nose.
A soft, caramel-like aroma spreads from the back of the mouth to the nose
And a rich flavor reminiscent of chocolate 😊.
