Sanzo is a new brand of Hananaka Shuzo from 2022, and it is quite popular these days. This one is made from rice grown in the brewery's watershed, and is made with traditional sake brewing methods.
The bottle I had was opened a little while ago, so I didn't notice much carbonation. The taste has a melon-like aroma with a vinegar-like sourness. It is quite distinctive.
Surprisingly, it is easy to drink. It might go well with Chinese food such as sweet-and-sour pork.

Slightly banana-like top
The same soft aroma, mild rice flavor and sweetness spreads with clean acidity and fresh gassiness, leaving a lingering woody aroma that quickly fades.
The overall balance is gentle and delicate, with a touch of wineiness.
It goes well with a meal, and is of course delicious on its own.
It went well with fried octopus and French fries.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo🐦!
I see you went to the Kyushu brewery open day! There were so many barrels of sake from breweries that I would like to try 😻
And you got some great sake 👍✨!
Thanks for your comment, Pon 😊God willing 😁? I discovered it on my way back home to my wife's parents ✨ Too bad the Fukyu Chiyo sake brewery was only here on the first day 😅.

However, the aroma and sensation that lingers in the mouth after swallowing seems like the aftertaste (bitterness?) of drinking beer. I think it was like the aftertaste (bitterness?) of drinking beer.

This sake is made from four regulations.
The benefits of the land and the nuances created by the diversity of microorganisms, including yeast, overlap and resonate as a complex flavor, making this a truly one-of-a-kind sake. The wild flavors of Hozu are further deepened by the use of the raw yeast structure to create a unique and distinctive aroma.
Woo hoo😊.
I've made it into the Hall of Fame 🍾🍾.
It's been a while since I opened a bottle 🍾.
Two crops are enough to satisfy 😌.

It has less bitterness and other tastes than Ninosozo, and has a stronger gaseous and fermented taste. The fruity taste is restrained, and the yogurt-like fermentation is the most noticeable.
