Here is another Tottori sake I wanted to try. The cherry blossoms are almost past their peak in my area, but Hiokizakura. Like Benten Musume, it is famous for its heated sake. First, cold sake. The rising aroma is mild and grain-like. In the mouth, you can taste a lot of acidity. Then comes the umami of rice. The impact is quite powerful. As with Benten Musume, it is not very thick, but it has a strong impact. The middle and later stages are rather refreshing and light. Next, hot sake. The mild aroma of grains is retained, but the flavor changes to that of a refined soup stock. The temperature is partly to blame, but it really sinks in. The acidity becomes a little less pronounced, giving the impression of calmness. This is delicious. The acidity is not too assertive and blends well with the umami. It has a wonderful taste as a food sake. Benten Musume and Hiokizakura have similar tastes, but both become very tasty when heated. I prefer Hiokizakura because of its milder acidity. If it is readily available in the Kansai area, it will become a regular sake. Preference Cold sake 75 points     Hot-warmed 93 points
