Hirotogawa純米 にごり純米生酒にごり酒

We were able to capture the mainstay of the Nigorinpik again this year. In my opinion, Snowman and Kochira are the two sakes that I must capture. When I opened the bottle, it almost overflowed, but I was able to get it to stop after one opening and closing. It is not so sticky, but it has a lot of sweetness and flavor. The calpis soda, of course, has a light and refreshing aftertaste, while still having a great flavor. It has a light and refreshing aftertaste, as well as a strong schwashiness, which I really like. There is no bitterness at all, so if you drink it on its own, you will go on and on drinking it. This is one of the sweetest Hirotogawa bottles, which does not show sweetness all over the bottle. I like Hirotogawa because it doesn't cheat by using bad sweetness, but why do I like this sweetest sake in Hirotogawa the best? As long as it tastes good. 9.8

During the period of Nigorinpic. Every year I look forward to the Hakusyu from Tedorigawa. I think it is one of the top-ranked nigorizake that can be easily purchased. There was a warning on the bottle to be careful of spills, but when we opened the bottle, there was almost no reaction as in previous years. We drank from the supernatant. It is slightly carbonated and has a hint of white peach, and the flavor spreads in the mouth. When we drank the mixture, it was more acidic and more to our liking than the supernatant alone. The cloudiness is quite light, so the yogurt feeling is very weak. The overall impression is more cohesive when mixed, or rather a little more compact. Hmmm, a little less my type than last year? Looking forward to tomorrow and beyond. 7.9

The second act of the Nigolympics. We were able to capture it again this year. It seems to have been changed to "Namahashimoto" (sake yeast), but how? Opening the bottle was relatively easy, although it came up shrieking three times. The texture is more shwashy on the tongue, with a milky rice sweetness while the acidity typical of the sake spreading on the palate. The impression of smooth freshness remains unchanged until the aftertaste. The acidity of the sake is pleasant in the aftertaste, and you can't stop drinking it. The snowball has a nice nama yeast yeast yeast yeast. It was not dull last year, but this year it is even more refreshing and I like it very much. I don't remember if it was the year before last or three years ago, but there was a time when it was quite dry, but unlike that time, it is cloudy and you can feel the volume, which is very satisfying. I don't mind if you think I'm a meek person, but Sentori's Yukidaruma is the most delicious(?). 9.5

The winter Nigori-no-Golympics have begun, so let's start with this one. It is not nigori sake, but rather orikara sake. I was scared to open the bottle because of the warning on the bottle neck, but I was not surprised because it was just a light shriek. It was just a little bit of orizumi coming up. In the mouth, there is a fine swirl, a smooth sweetness, and a bit of astringent bitterness as it goes down the throat. It's cohesive - high overall score. Not too sweet but juicy fresh. It was a delicious sake, fresh and refreshing and light until the aftertaste. And for some reason, I had mistaken Banshu Issen for Hiroshima sake, which was the biggest shock to me. 9

A bottle of my favorite Hirotogawa that I have yet to drink. Come to think of it, I haven't been able to drink it this year. The aroma is gorgeous among Hirotogawa's wines. It has a smooth sweetness from the moment you put it in your mouth. The mild sweetness is typical of Hirotogawa, and the sharpness of Yamada-Nishiki comes through. From there, there is a sharp flavor typical of Yamadanishiki. The astringent aftertaste reminds one of grapefruit. It is sweet but not sticky and has a sharpness that makes it a good match for a variety of dishes. It has little acidity, so it is good with food that is not greasy. After all, Hirotogawa is the best, and Yamada-Nishiki is stable. There can be no mistake. 8

It's been a while since I've been to Yukino Kayasha. I bought a late hiyaoroshi. The texture is smooth and fresh, and the umami is juicy. After that, a little acidity and rice-like sweetness and umami spread out and lingered in the mouth for a long time, giving a high sense of happiness. The perfection of this sake is really high. It is round and round without any corners, and has a perfect umami flavor, yet it is not heavy and can be drunk smoothly. We will definitely repeat this next year. 9.2

When I think of Takeyoshi, I think of it as a sweet and juicy type of liquor. I don't dislike it, but I don't like to buy it. However, when I saw the label and the hiyaoroshi necklace, I thought, "This looks delicious..." and bought a bottle. When I put it in my mouth, I was surprised to see the explosion of umami from the smooth texture on the tongue! It was amazing. The sweet and tasty flavor is running rampant in my mouth. I can also taste a little sourness, making it feel like a hot lemon. Sweet! (Umami! (Acid) Umami! I also feel astringency in the umami, and the alcohol taste is not unpleasant, but I like the ruggedness! I like the ruggedness that comes with it. It was a hit hiyaoroshi, and I think I will repeat it next year. 9

It has a smooth texture with a hint of acidity. The lactic acidity, which is typical of Yamahai, can be felt perfectly, and it is very drinkable. It is not hard to drink, which is often the case with Yamahai. The umami aftertaste is a blast, and I like it very much. I drank it chilled, but I am looking forward to drinking it warmed up to get more umami. 8.5

I am late to the party, but I bought it again this year. My summer's mainstay. It is one of my favorites among nigori. It is refreshing and light despite being a nigori sake, and is extremely delicious with the creaminess of nigori in it. The only drawback is that it takes about 10 minutes to open the bottle, but of course, it is strong and shuwa shuwa. It is refreshing and perfect for summer. It is basically a sweet calpis soda, but the bitterness is not monotonous, and that is one of my favorite points. It is delicious. 8.8

I have wanted to drink this classic Kame no O for a long time. I had seen it on the market but could not buy it due to bad timing, but finally I was able to buy it. It is naturally more restrained than modern Sentori, but the moment it touches the tongue, it is sweet and acidic. It is a little bit sweet and sour at the moment it touches the tongue. It is like Sentori, but both sweet and sour are restrained. However, the umami flavor hits you just before you swallow it! While the overall structure is light, the powerful umami spreads out in a way that is typical of Kame no O. It is not high in rpm, but the torque is effective. It is not a high RPM, but a torquey flavor. Kame-no-o is really good, I like it. 8.8

I went on a trip to Nagano in GW. I was planning to go to Ueda City, so I went to the city. There I found a sake brewery. Kamerei? Kamerei in Nagano means Shinshu Kamerei? I immediately jumped in and found it was also Shinshu Kamerei. There was a sake brewery in Ueda City, wasn't there? I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of the Okazaki Sake Brewery before. One bottle per person, only this brand was sold, but I bought it without hesitation. They accept cash, credit card, and PayPay. I immediately put them in a cool bag. The hi-ire version is only available at the brewery. The aroma is restrained, as is typical of hi-ire. It has a chili sensation when you put it in your mouth. It is easy to drink, with a smooth sweetness and a little astringent acidity. It is fresh despite being fire-brewed, which is typical of Shinshu Kamerei. It may lack impact, but it is a well-balanced sake. I felt like I got a good deal because I could buy a Shinshu Kamerei without aiming for it! 8

It has been a long time since I have had a modern Sentori. I think it was the first time to drink Omachi. This is the sweet and sour taste of Sentori. It also has the sweet-savory taste of Oumachi. However, the acidity is very effective, so you don't feel the harshness of Oumachi. I tried it with sushi, but as expected, it didn't go well with it. It would go well with caprese, or on the contrary, fried chicken. The light bitterness in the aftertaste gives the impression that it does not let the drinker down. Sentori is definitely a good choice. 8

Overall, it is refreshing. Can be felt from light mouthfeel -> sweet -> acid -> sweet -> astringent. Interesting, but it seems too refreshing. It's tasty, but I think it's not enough for me. 7.4

Fruity aroma, not unlike Hirotogawa. Muscat type. A sip...mmm...sweet! Juicy. The sweetness is as strong as the aroma, and the air pocket of flavor that comes just after swallowing, where the flavor is suddenly taken off the tongue for a moment, then the umami and a little astringency are felt and the atmosphere is voluminous. There is also a bit of acidity and a thick flavor. Although it is a nama-zake, it is not fresh, but rather has a sense of heaviness that stands out. It is a modern sake that is not like Hirotogawa, and it is delicious. It is delicious, but the un-Hirotogawa-like flamboyance might make you tired. I highly recommend people who are not used to drinking sake to try it. 8.1

My favorite liquor store recently started carrying this brand. I have never heard of this brand, it is a sake from Nagano. It is smooth, but has a strong sweetness, like a mild pear flavor, but after that it is smooth and light overall. It is a beautiful 40% sake. Even so, the aftertaste has a strong sense of umami and a little astringency, making it very satisfying. It is a very clear and delicious sake. 8

A classic solid for a long time. Is this the first time I've had it raw? Grapefruit aroma, silky on the palate. It may be classic compared to modern solid, but it still tastes modern. Sweet and sour, like biting into a grapefruit. It is fresh and a little rough as if it is a new sake. I wonder if it is? I paired it with mackerel miso, but I don't think it's very good. Although it is a classic sake, it would be easier to match with Western food. 7.7

I didn't know there was a recently popular immovable, muddy. And it's a muddy type, I like it. I heard it is alsobe, but I wonder what it is like. After mixing the sludge, I opened the bottle. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a fine shuffle, and like Doroncho, the umami of rice will hit you with a bang. After a little time has passed since it was poured, the bottom of the cup is not a sludge but a meringue, which is a strange sensation. 8.2

I was able to buy this one again this year. The bottle was very quiet when opened, and when poured into a cup, it was like a doron-doron. As usual, it is smooth like Doburoku. When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong carbonation. It has the sweetness of rice, but it is very dry and creamy. It is easy to drink because it is not too sweet, while still having the richness of the original Calpis. The only drawback is that it's too thick and it fills up your stomach. I don't like Doburoku, but I still like this one. 8.6

I like nigori sake. I chose a sake that I have never had before. The sweetness spreads from the moment you put it in your mouth, probably because it is made from sticky rice. It is not Calpis, like nigori sake, but Aquarius. It is not Pocari, either. The sweetness is not sticky, and the aftertaste is refreshing. It is a light, gobbled-up type of bottle. 7

This is the one I got as a souvenir. Hana-no-Mai, I only knew it from Izakaya. The aroma is a little floral, and there is a slight alcohol smell. It is described as dry, but when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness of the rice comes out in full force. The umami is strong, as indicated by the description "rich", but it is not a big bang, but rather a gentle umami that can be felt around the tongue. However, it is generally thin. And there is a slight sourness. It is delicious, but there is nothing like it! There is nothing that I can say "this is it". It is not a modern taste, but it is easy to drink. But it was given to me by someone who is not familiar with Japanese sake, so it was not well preserved. It is highly likely that the sake was left in the car, so I can't rate it.
