This is a Hidakami brewed with our beloved sake rice, Aizan!
Expectations for this Junmai Daiginjo are only getting higher!
Incidentally, Aizan is also used in Ona, which I drank the other day, and is my favorite sake rice. I love it more than Yamadanishiki!
So I opened the bottle and the first aroma was Aizan's characteristic (?) pineapple-like acidity. The first aroma is a sweet aroma with a sourness like pineapple that tickles the nostrils. I can't get enough of it! I can't get enough of this aroma!
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the rich, punchy sourness and sweetness spreading at the same time. The rich, thick flavor lingers in the mouth, and when it is poured down the back of the throat, a moderate acidity lingers as an aftertaste. Yum! It's still good!
I have never tasted a sake brewed with other rice, so I can't compare them, but I wonder if this rich thickening sensation is unique to Hikakami. I may have to try another sake made with a different rice next time!
It is a pleasure to drink good sake.
Thank you for the sake!
