Timeline


flos_lingua_estThis is a bottle of nigori from Hirotogawa, released in 2024.12. To be honest, it was quite difficult to obtain this season. To be honest, it was quite difficult to get it this season. It sold out in no time... I went there first thing in the morning on the second arrival and was finally able to buy it!
I opened the bottle six months later in June, so I was pretty naive about the fizz, but right after I opened the bottle, it started to slowly bubble up and finally blew up! I was reminded once again of the strength of the bubbles.
Although it is a December saké, it is not a bad saké no matter what time of year you drink it! It is very tasty and goes well with strong flavored meals in winter, and in summer you can feel its freshness!
It has an excellent sense of balance between sweetness, flavor, and acidity. It's a great example of what I'm talking about. I can't write much about it because I drank it so fast, but I hope you will forgive me if I say that this is the maximum praise I can pay to a delicious sake, as always. しょうPurchased after hearing a recommendation for dry sake at a liquor store.
It is a nama-narashu made from Yamadanishiki grown around the company's own brewery.
It has a slight freshness that is typical of nama sake, but it is still dry.
It is clean and not dull.
The aftertaste is dry with a lingering bitterness.
When paired with a meal, the bitterness is softened and the acidity gives a slightly sweet impression. しょうIgarashi Spring Sake
Easy to drink with a low alcohol content of 13 degrees.
Nama sake is directly pumped, giving it a gorgeous flavor and gaseous sensation.
It is fruity but also has a nice sharpness, giving it a refreshing impression and making it easy to drink. 
flos_lingua_estThis is the first Shinomine ultra-harsh junmai I've had since 2021, the year of its debut at Sakegawa. I was caught up in the installment and bought it, but is it actually a sneaky PB that this is so light nigori even though it is clear sake wherever else I see it or search for it?
The rice smells like freshly baked bread, plus grass and rice cakes. It smells nice and delicious, like it would go well with a meal.
When you drink it, you feel a light, slightly carbonated feeling in your mouth. There are quite a few bubbles on the glass. And the clarity is excellent! It is not particularly full and smooth, but it is not just a beautiful sake. Jun-dai" would be much smarter, but the umami and some complex flavors are present, so in a good way, it is considered to be a junmai-standard sake.
If you enjoy the taste of the ingredients, it goes very well with vegetables and fish, as well as meat dishes with a gentle taste, such as pork shabu-shabu. I enjoyed it with thinly sliced onions, garland chrysanthemum, and komatsuna greens. It is really nice to have a dry sake with a modern taste...! ぴーたまflos_lingua_est Good evening 🌝.
Modern dry good. This review looks delicious. Shinomine, spicy heaven, makes me want to drink it 😆. flos_lingua_estHi Pitama, ☀️
As a modern dry food lover, I'm glad you could tell it was delicious and could relate to it!
Both Shinomine and Shinten were great ☺️
But be careful with the sake, they only have one bottle of kariten on the lineup 🙌.

New Year🎍 is the best time to drink sake🍶 and Osechi while watching Ekiden🎽 ‼️ Thank you for your support this year. 

flos_lingua_estI was told that it was a discontinued product for this season. I don't know because I haven't been following it, but I hadn't had a hi-iru sake over 2,000 yen, so I bought it to give it a try.
This was my first visit to Tatsumi Seishukudo in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture. I had a very good time with their very knowledgeable and friendly customer service! I tasted Loman and Nichinichi, but bought this one this time. I'm going to buy Nichinichi next time.
The standing aroma was fruit and magic ink. I like the aroma of melon mixed with apple and banana!
I had it at room temperature, and from the start, it had a thick and juicy flavor. The sweetness and bitterness are enveloped by the umami, and it is nice to enjoy the taste as it expands in the mouth. The acidity finishes off the taste beautifully. It is quite delicious! No, it is too delicious. This is a gem that should be enjoyed at a variety of temperatures.
It has been a long time since I have encountered a great hi-iru sake. I think I'll try Tokujun next time. ハリーToday is Saitama Citizens' Day,
But on TV it's called Saitama Citizens' Day.
because everyone is going to Tokyo to play in Tokyo DL etc. 😅.

Well, instead of local sake 🍶, let's have a toast
I'd like to make a toast with Sentori's Snowman ⛄️
A nice snowy bottle!
It was stirred nicely as soon as the bottle was opened and was in a masa
Powder snow ❄️ state!
A beautiful mix of umami and bitterness.
It's low in alcohol and shuwa shuwa shuwa.
You can drink it in a big gulp!
Serve with sashimi, yakisoba, etc. 😋. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Harry 😃.
I see what you mean 😆 Saitama Metropolitan Citizens 😆.

Tochigi and Saitama are neighbors connected by Tohoku line, so this year's snowman is more spiffy than usual 😄.

I was talking to someone at the store where I bought it.
Hirotogawa has become popular
Demand is high, but there is a shortage of human resources
The lineup will be limited
And shipments will be limited.
What about Nigori, your favorite? I'm sure there will be some.
There's a lot going on. ハリーShiofuri Romance

It's finally the season for them!
Grilled matsutake mushrooms, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), matsutake mushroom rice and more!
Happy time with all the matsutake mushrooms 😃! ポンちゃんHi Harry 🐦.
From last 🦀&🦪 to Matsutake mushrooms 🍄🟫, it's autumn 😻 and goes well with autumn sake! It's getting cooler and cooler 🎶 and I haven't eaten any of the fall foods yet 😂. ハリーHi Pon 😃
After all, it's autumn 🍂 with a variety of appetites.
I'm so glad it's coming out!
I wonder if it's time to go out to the Nobey Yokocho 😄. しょうIgarashi's limited edition Yamahai Nao Kumi that I was told about by a sake shop.
Dry with a clear, crisp taste.
You can also feel a subtle carbonation.
You can feel the sweetness of the rice and it has a solid presence.
It is delicious with strong dishes.
I heard that the basic Igarashi has many fruity flavors, so I want to try the basic one next time! しょうFruity aroma but not too sweet. しょうlight-bodied and dry
Sake with a robust, yet sharp taste しょうA dish that allows you to enjoy the juicy aroma while also having the lightness typical of summer sake. しょうThis is the one I was allowed to drink at the tasting.

ハリーSenkori Organic Naturals Dobrok
New variety for the first time this year, since everyone is drinking it.
I called the local liquor store and they said they had a last one.
I rushed to pick it up😅.
It's my first try this year and it's more like Doburoku than the ZERO nigori I've had so far.
It's more doburoku-like than the previous ZERO nigori.
When I opened the bottle, it didn't blow out,
It didn't blow out, but lightly mixed with the oli at the bottom.
It turned out to be a beautiful nigori sake.
It is delicious with a delicious sweetness.
Nigori is more than Zero Nigori.
Finally, chew the rice as if you were chewing it.
On another note, this year's summer was too hot and the rice was
The rice was too dry and did not dissolve well.
The rice was too dry and did not dissolve well, so each sake brewery had a very hard time.
It seems that the production was also sluggish.
But each sake brewery did their best in their own way.
Climate change has had a great impact on sake rice,
How about this summer?
608 drinking at home ジェイ&ノビィGood evening Harry 😃.
I'm glad you got the last one 👍Good for you 🤗Although it's a little bit dark nigori 😅The rice taste at the end makes you think it's good 😊It's a quintessential Sentori taste 😋.
I hope it's not too hot this year 😌. ハリーGood evening, Jaynobi 😃.
Ras One was a close call.
But this dobrok was the last one.
It was so dobroked that I couldn't drink it,
Personally, I thought it would be easier to drink with zero niggles 😁. Senkinオーガニックナチュール2024 0.0ドブロク生酒にごり酒発泡 あられSorry for the picture after I drank it all 😭
When the bottle was opened, it was a dobrok of oridurundurundurundurundurundurundurundurundurundurundurun
It was a dobrok 😮.
Good sake goes quickly 🥴.
The aroma has a fresh banana flavor that is typical of Sentori.

Another new umamai cider was born 🌾.
Snowman was also delicious with a lot of oli.
but the Dobrok has a stronger graininess.
It was a fun drink 🍚.
Personally, I prefer it to Snowman 🍚 ⛄️ 

ハリーHirotogawa Nigori No.2
Got the second lot of nigori at the end of the year!
I got a bottle of nigori!
I want to drink HIRO-CHAN Nigori at least twice!
I want to drink it at least twice 🍶.
Opening the bottle was smooth, is this a recent trend?
Is it a recent trend or is the old rambunctious opening a shadow of what it used to be?
That was fun, though 😁.
Round and fresh, the light acidity is also good!
I'll drink it in gulps!
It goes well with Chinese cabbage and pork belly nabe (hot pot) again!
I added some crackers I bought in Hachinohe 😄.
As some of you may know,
Next Wednesday at midnight, the izakaya 🏮 shinkansen 🚄 will start again.
I look forward to traveling and drinking 🍶😊.

I bought a bottle of Hirotogawa nigori but haven't had it yet. I drank it for the first time last year and it was so good I decided to repeat it this year 🙂.

Hirotogawa nigori is too popular and I completely missed it 😢.

I think you've been too busy with the Shinmasa festival to have a turn at the other sake 😅.
I hope you enjoy HIRO-chan nigori too. ハリーHiraccio, good morning 😃.
Tatsumi is a strong Hirotogawa, but recently the number of people who love to drink it has increased 😅IB I sometimes have a lottery but I haven't tried to win 😆. ハリーGood morning, Joe 😃!
I made this dish after watching it on TV 😅 It's very tasty and the pork belly extract soaks into it, and the rice porridge at the end is good too 😁 Hiro, please come next season! ハリーHiraccio, I'm looking forward to the Izakaya Shinkansen🚄. I'd love to travel again with new information: ‼️ ポンちゃんGood evening, Harry 🌙
