It is dry, but also has a robust flavor.

I don't remember much about it, but I remember that it had just the right balance of sweetness and sourness.

HIIRO
It tasted like a crisp, high-class, firm sweetness enhanced by a little sourness. The unique flavor was very satisfying.

Meikyoshisui純米大吟醸 m'23
HIIRO
Easy to drink dry. The sweetness is not so much, and the spiciness is felt after the umami flavor, which is not too strong, spreads. It has a nice sharpness.

Gangi純米大吟醸 ゆうなぎ
HIIRO
It starts with a pineapple-like sweetness, then spreads to a delicious flavor in the middle, and ends with just a hint of bitterness. Overall, it is sweet, but well balanced and delicious.

Ishizuchi純米吟醸 朝日米55
HIIRO
There is not much sweetness, but after a short time in the mouth, the acidity and sweetness gradually become apparent. Overall, the sake is not too assertive, and the phrase "sake brewed to be enjoyed during meals" is apt.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
It is characterized by its fruity, gorgeous sweetness and flavor. The sweetness is not that persistent, but it spreads quickly from the moment you put it in your mouth.

HIIRO
Dry sake. It is easy to drink with a strong acidity and a good amount of miscellaneous flavors, but also has a good sharpness and does not leave too much aftertaste.

Kid純米大吟醸 精米歩合四十
HIIRO
After the elegant sweetness spreads, it quickly disappears, leaving a much lighter aftertaste.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
Immediately after the rather subdued sweetness with a hint of apple, the flavor and acidity spread to the palate. The aftertaste is refreshing. Until about the second day after opening, you can feel a fairly gaseous texture on the tongue.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
The first taste is a rich sweetness, but then it changes to a unique flavor and a blend of sour and bitter tastes. It is a unique and interesting taste that will keep you coming back for more.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
It has a sweetness and umami that is typical of Kangiku, but has a bit more bitterness in the aftertaste than other types, which mixes with the original sweetness and umami in a good way and spreads. There is also a good amount of gassiness, which keeps the tongue happy.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
The first thing I felt was a moderate acidity, followed by a pineapple-like sweetness that slowly spread out. I didn't know it was actually a light nigori, so I drank more than half of it without mixing it with other ingredients. It was a good taste.

Roman純米大吟醸 生原酒
HIIRO
It has a robust umami and a gorgeous flavor. Compared to the previous Hanaizumi from the same brewery, this one has a slightly more restrained umami and a relatively clean aftertaste.

Denshu純米吟醸 百四拾（桜）
HIIRO
Fruity, gorgeous sweetness followed by a bit of bitterness that lingered on the tongue. I felt that the sweetness was more pronounced and the bitterness was less pronounced than in other rice wine I have had.

Morishimaひたち錦 純米吟醸
HIIRO
The sharpness of the sake is what impressed me the most, but rather than just being dry, it was more like a bit of sweetness at first, followed by umami and spiciness. The umami was not ordinary umami in some way, but rather an elegant umami that I am not sure how to describe.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
When it was first opened, it had little sweetness and a strong umami flavor, with a good amount of bitterness and pungency. A few days after opening, the sweetness gradually emerged, and the umami seemed to become stronger. Anyway, it has a sharp and clean aftertaste.
Japanese>English
HIIRO
It's like apple juice, but a little different, with a unique, luxurious sweetness and a bit of tartness. On the first day of opening, there is quite a bit of gasiness, which enhances the sweetness and acidity. The aftertaste is not persistent and disappears for a long time. The flavor increases considerably when it is mixed with ori.
