ヒラッチョ
Suginishiki is a sake from Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
The image of Shizuoka sake, with its crisp aroma, light and clear flavor, and low acidity, is different from the impression one gets from this sake.
It is a different image from the crisp aroma, light, clear, and low acidity sake of Shizuoka Prefecture.
According to the brewery's website, this honjozo is made using the Yamahai method.
It has a slightly full body, acidity, and is not heavy, but it is very drinkable. I enjoyed it cold, but it looks like it would also be good warmed.
In the same prefecture, in Shizuoka City, there is also a refreshing and crisp sake called Hagi-Nishiki, which I sometimes confuse with another sake, but each has its own character and is very good.
