The Shichida Aiyama Hiya-Oroshi is a seasonal Japanese sake from the Tenzan brewery, released in autumn. It features the popular Aiyama sake rice, known for its robust flavor, delicate sweetness, and unique combination of umami and acidity. The sake offers tasting notes of ripe grapes, figs, and cashew, with a weighty, plump mouthfeel and a balanced, yet slightly dry finish. It’s a food-friendly sake, recommended with dishes like tripe stew or sweet potato in cream sauce.
