【農口尚彥研究所 ひやおろし】

被封為「日本酒之神」的農口尚彥正展現出這種武士精神，他在2017年以八十多歲高齡再度復出釀酒，並開設創新酒藏「農口尚彥研究所」，希望與懷有夢想熱情的年輕職人攜手釀酒，同時將自己的技藝和職人精神傳承予新世代。就是一直憑著超越自我和挑戰極限的信念，他過去釀造的作品更曾獲得多達27座金賞，這紀錄至今無人能敵 這份武士精神絕對值得我們欣賞和學習

「ひやおろし」是農口尚彥研究所於秋季推出的限定酒。選用五百萬石，於嚴冬釀造後維持無濾過原酒狀態，僅作一次火入，再靜待至秋季熟成出荷。經過一個夏天的休眠，原有的力量感逐漸收斂，酒體變得更圓潤，旨味亦更飽滿

熟梨、黃桃、穀物、蒸米、淡淡乳酸與草本風味。經過夏季熟成後，較剛榨的新酒圓潤。中段以米旨、溫和甘味與清楚酸度構成骨架；後段可感受到蒸米、淡淡堅果、熟果與微辛口感，收結有力度但不粗糙

飲用溫度
建議常溫或溫燗享用約 15–45°C

飲用場合：
初秋至冬季晚餐 · 秋季割烹與居酒屋料理 · 菇菌、燒物與鍋物餐桌 ·
喜歡農口系米旨、酸度與熟成輪廓的飲家  · 適合慢喝與溫度比較的食中酒

【Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute Hiyaoroshi】

“Hiyaoroshi” is Noguchi Naohiko Sake Institute’s seasonal autumn release. Made with Gohyakumangoku rice, it is brewed during the coldest part of winter, kept as an unfiltered genshu, pasteurised once, then rested slowly through the summer before release in autumn. This period of maturation allows its original power to settle, bringing greater roundness to the palate and a deeper expression of umami.

Ripe pear, yellow peach, grain, steamed rice, soft lactic notes and a gentle herbal edge. Compared with freshly pressed new sake, the palate is more rounded after summer maturation. Rice umami, mild sweetness and clear acidity form the core of the mid-palate. Steamed rice, subtle nuttiness, ripe fruit and a lightly dry emerge toward the finish, which is firm and structured without becoming rough.

Serving temperature
Serve at room temperature or gently warmed, around 15–45°C

Occasion
Early-autumn to winter dinners · Autumn kappo and izakaya cuisine · Mushroom dishes, grilled courses and hot-pot tables · Drinkers who appreciate Noguchi’s rice umami, acidity and mature profile · A food sake for slow drinking and exploring across different serving temperatures
