This is the third Hirotogawa that I have had, except for the nigori that comes out in winter, which I drink every year. I have had the special junmai before, but it was four years ago when I looked it up. At that time, I drank it warm, but I was told that cold sake is also delicious. I don't think I tried it cold last time, so I definitely want to drink it cold this year. I felt that in about 1 second when I saw the ...... label, so I bought it lol.
It doesn't have much of an aroma. I think that the less standing aroma the better, and for me, it is preferable from the beginning. When you take a sip, you will be filled with the freshness of white peaches. The subtle hint of banana-like aroma gives it a strength that makes it more than just a beautiful sake.
You will be surprised that it tastes very good regardless of what you had just before this, even after the Kaze no Mori CE you had been drinking until just before this. The other one is a sweet and sour type, but although the strain is completely different, the taste is not inferior at all.
The impression changes a little depending on the temperature range, but personally, I would say it is best served warm, room temperature, or cold.
This is a product that is a substitute for Hirotogawa's business card. Breweries that have a standard sake that is synonymous with their products are very strong, aren't they? Recently, Tenbi's Jungin, a standard sake, was also a masterpiece, but this was also a wonderful sake that impressed me! I am a fan of this sake!
