A bottle of my favorite Hirotogawa that I have yet to drink. Come to think of it, I haven't been able to drink it this year. The aroma is gorgeous among Hirotogawa's wines. It has a smooth sweetness from the moment you put it in your mouth. The mild sweetness is typical of Hirotogawa, and the sharpness of Yamada-Nishiki comes through. From there, there is a sharp flavor typical of Yamadanishiki. The astringent aftertaste reminds one of grapefruit. It is sweet but not sticky and has a sharpness that makes it a good match for a variety of dishes. It has little acidity, so it is good with food that is not greasy. After all, Hirotogawa is the best, and Yamada-Nishiki is stable. There can be no mistake. 8
