On a trip to Nagano, I bought it at a souvenir shop with the mention, "This is real local sake, not sold in souvenir shops" (laughs). But it was a brand that I did not see in other souvenir shops.
It has a soft, mellow flavor with a clean crispness.
Heavy Dry. Bought it on a trip.
There were many different labels for the same Hizirizm, but I chose this one because it was the first time I had seen a sake rice called "Watanobune".
From what others have written, there seems to be a lot of variation in taste depending on the label. I would like to try other bottles.
The last time I had a Bodhi Hashiroshi from the last time I had a Sanomorosugi, so from that characteristic taste, it tastes like a royal road and the main line of the brewery. It is spicy, but not too spicy, and has a gentle taste. It goes well with sashimi.
I went to Hitachinaka and stopped by a sake shop for some local sake. The first "Hitanishiki" rice sake. It is spicy and comes with a big thump. It tastes as good with grilled tuna as it does with a side dish of grilled tuna kama!
It's so light, so light, so endless! It goes in easily. As it says, "Aiming to be a fine dining sake," it is an ideal dining sake that does not interfere with the meal, while at the same time showing a strong presence.
So much flavor! Delicious! On the way back from a visit to Mt. Daisen, I stopped by a sake store just before it closed. I thought it was a simple reason to buy a bottle of local sake, but I hit the jackpot. It was dry, thick, and smooth. It's so good!
I bought this bottle because I thought it would be too small for one person, but it was even better than I expected. It was thicker and sweeter than I expected. Just the way I like it.
