No additives, no water adjustment, and a low alcohol content of 12%. The yeast used is Kyokai No. 601. At first it was hiya. It is neither too sour nor too sweet, but mellow and harmonious. It has a dry bitterness that is not too harsh and disappears quickly afterwards. It is full-bodied, yet refreshing. It is very tasty and easy to drink, and you can enjoy it as much as you want. When served cold, it has a slight thickening effect. The sweetness is reduced and the acidity increases, making it more refreshing. It tastes great cold as well! When lukewarm, the sweetness was lessened and the sourness became quite strong. Production date: April 2025 Sealing date: May 13, 2025

A special order from Kigawaya Hanpukai. Gorgeous aroma. Soft sweetness and tangy acidity. When you taste it in the center of your tongue, the sweetness comes through. At the same time, there is a slight bitterness that tightens the taste, and it lingers in the mouth at a low level. Production date: May 2025 Sealing date: May 24, 2025

Hatomasamune吟烏帽子40純米大吟醸

At the meeting to enjoy Hato Masamune held at Takumi-san in Saitama-shintoshin. I failed to take a picture. This sake is made from "Gin-Karasu-boshi," Aomori Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing. Gin-Karasu-boshi was bred to be grown in the southern part of the prefecture, mainly in the Hachinohe-Towada area, where there is a lot of cold damage. It has a robust but dry and refreshing aftertaste. It goes very well with KAKUNI (stewed pork cubes).

At the meeting to enjoy Hato Masamune held at Takumi-san in Saitama-shintoshin. I always buy a cup of Hakkouda Oroshi sake on my way back from Aomori and drink it on the bullet train, so it is very familiar to me. It has a smooth mouthfeel, but it has a lot of flavor. It is dry with sourness and bitterness.

At the meeting to enjoy Hato Masamune held at Takumi-san in Saitama-shintoshin. The rice is "Gin Karasu", which is suitable for sake brewing. It is a sparkling nigori sake with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It has a moderate sense of crispness. It also has a light nigori texture that leaves a rough feel on the tongue. The first sip seemed sweet and vinegary, but in reality, it may be a bit too mild. The acidity and slight bitterness give it a nice crisp aftertaste. The bitterness of the fried onions matches perfectly.

Rich and full-bodied. The sweetness is not so obvious. The bitterness is strong and lingers for a long time. It also tingles on the tongue. The sweetness of the meat is enhanced when paired with chicken meat sashimi, doubling the taste...! I thought this was a perfect food sake. It was not so good with the meat sucking, the bitterness of the sake prevailed. Date of manufacture: November 2024 Date of release: May 5, 2025

A collaboration product between Drunken Whale and Koikeya. First, try it cold. It goes in quietly and smoothly. The sweetness is restrained and the bitterness is a little strong. You can also taste a little sourness. The aftertaste leaves a strong impression. I tried pairing it with the bonito sakatobori flavor of paired potato chips, but the bitter taste of the potato chips is not that strong despite the name "sakatobori," so the bitterness of the sake is more pronounced. The bonito strawbaked with sake was a better match for the sake. The bitterness of the straw-roasted bonito helps to reduce the bitterness of the split. I warmed the sake to lukewarm. The lactic acidity is very strong. The acidity intensifies and the heat lingers on the tongue. This one is more acidic and would probably go well with potato chips. Next, we warmed it up. The mild sweetness is also present, and the sharpness of the acidity is reduced. The acidity is less sharp, and the strength is strong and tingling on the tongue. The last sake was hot. The sourness is not zero, but it is suppressed and slightly bitter. In conclusion, I think the best pairing with potato chips would be lukewarm heating.

Third collaboration sake with UNITED ARROWS. This is the first nigori (nigori) raw sake with a 99% koji and No. 6 yeast version. First, just the supernatant. It has sweet and sour taste and astringency. It has a nice sharpness that quickly fades away. When mixed, the color becomes very silky. The sweetness and fizziness are weaker than the supernatant alone. The less sweetness is more noticeable in the astringency and lingering bitterness. Personally, I thought a little more sweetness and fizziness would be closer to my taste. Date of manufacture: April 2025 Date of closure: May 10, 2025 ▼ 5/14 Postscript. I let it sit in the refrigerator for 4 days after it was sealed. I taped the hole in the lid. It tasted better than the last time I drank it. It tastes more sour and a little bitter, but not as much as before. A crazy grain taste comes after finishing the drink.

I think nigorizake are always something very special, its raw and sweet.
I agree.

Kigawaya hanpukai special order. Colored. It has a full-bodied, sweet and sour old sake taste. Easy to drink. When warmed up, the sourness is a bit too much for the nose. Other than the sourness, it is mild. It tastes like a fully ripe plum wine, not too sweet. The alcohol lingers on the tongue. Personally, I thought it was easier to drink and tastier when heated.
