It quickly turned into three hours and we decided to finish with a comparison of two different types of drinks: rice and agave. Both are fruity. The acidity of this one was like grapefruit.

This hop saké is brewed with Yamadanishiki rice from Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is drier and drier tasting than the previous Hanakaze. It has a lychee-like fruity flavor, so it might be better to drink it at the end as a dessert sake rather than a mid-meal drink.
Great balance of hops flavor and strong fruity sweetness.
Easy to pair with food and tastes great on its own.
I still buy it whenever I find it.
I'm hooked,
Yamadanishiki produced in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, hops, 90% polished rice ratio
Craft sake. It is also delicious! Sweet, fizzy and juicy! Personally, I like the aroma of black grapes 🥹The sweet hops also have a hint of rum, citrus, and tea, which is strange! Complex cocktail-like 🍸.
I had been interested in this product for a long time, but the production method and price had kept me away from it.
Rice and Agave 01
I was interested in this sake brewery, which was established by a former Shinmasa Shuzo trainee, but I had avoided it because it was a craft sake and the price was expensive.
The other day, I decided to give it a try because of the delicious collaboration of Abe✕ craft gin!
The top aroma is refreshing and reminiscent of tequila, thanks to the addition of agave syrup, which is used as an ingredient in tequila.
The taste is sake, but the aroma is tequila, so there are different tastes! I like it, but considering the price of around 2,500 yen for 500ml, I think I will choose my favorite sake.

It has a clear, fresh aroma, and in the mouth it overflows with bright umami, hop flavor, and a firm acidity. The combination of the vigorous, but not aggressive, umami and the lively acidity creates a refreshing aftertaste and lingering aftertaste.
It uses hops in addition to rice and koji as ingredients, and is what is called a craft sake.
As such, it is not considered sake under the Sake Tax Law.
It has a refreshing, slightly carbonated taste, making it an easy drink even for those who are not comfortable with sake.
It is also good as an aperitif.
I also bought 💦.
I really like this one😍.
I agreed with my mom that it tastes like when you cut a pink grapefruit in half, sprinkle granulated sugar on it, and scoop it up with a spoon and eat it hard 🩷😊and by the way, we also agreed that the spoon is the jagged one 🤭.
