I think it was five or six years ago, when Corona was not yet around. There was a sake tasting and sale event at a department store in Nihonbashi in the fall. They even had salt to snack on 😍. Anyway, there were so many sake to drink, I remember I got tongue-tied just by tasting 😅. One of the breweries that had a stall at the event was Goto Sake Brewery. My knowledge of sake back then was even less than it is now, and even though I didn't know any better, I rudely told the Goto brewer that I don't like heavy sake and that Yamagata sake must be heavy 😅. The brewer recommended me to try it, and when I sipped it, I was surprised at the sizzling sensation I experienced for the first time 😝. Since then, I've always been looking for it but could never find it 辯天! I finally found it. And it's Hiyadoroshi ❗ It has a mouthfeel like a soursup 😚. It has a moderate spiciness and a lustrous umami flavor that spread out. As I was savoring the umami, a taste and aroma like the hinoki cypress of barrel sake appeared momentarily, and after that taste, a glimpse of sweetness and astringency appeared 😎. This is a sake that I never get tired of drinking and goes well with meals😍.
