Shi-no-no-nozo" is brewed with the brewery's philosophy of "indigenous production climate and the spirit of prayer".
This bottle is brewed with "*Homase" rice from Edo Higo, which can be said to be the starting point of the brewery's philosophy.
Homase" is a native variety of Kumamoto rice from the Edo period, miraculously restored in recent years and grown naturally on the company's own farmland and by farmers in the Kikuchi River system.
It has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of banana and pineapple, and nuances created by the benefits of the land and the diversity of microorganisms including yeast, which overlap and resonate as a complex flavor that is truly unique.
In addition, the Kikuchi River basin, the site of a rice culture that has continued for 2,000 years, is enriched by the rock water that gushes through the bedrock layers formed by the Aso eruption 90,000 years ago, enriching the rice production and people's lives in the area. It is precisely because the land has benefited from this historic land of production, which has been recognized as a Japanese Heritage site, that "Homase" rice is so richly harvested that it is said to be the best rice under heaven.

Yesterday was the last day of work
So we had a drink to celebrate the end of the year!
So we had a bottle of Hananoka Shuzo's Sansho from Christmas!
This time it was 2024 Yamadanishiki Shichinonoso!
I opened a bottle of sake that I bought with a friend of mine who is now a sake connoisseur!
Let's enjoy it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It smells like a refreshing lactic acid drink!
When you put it in your mouth, it has a fruity sweetness that is not too strong.
The aroma also has a lactic acid drink-like flavor.
After that, it has a refreshing sweetness, and then shifts to a lingering bitter aftertaste, which is beautiful and irresistible~!
This is a delicious sake!
Day 2
I have the impression that the refreshing sweetness can be felt even though the schwarziness has become less pronounced.
But it's not too sweet, it's very refreshing, and the shift to the lingering soft bitterness is also very nice.
I still wish I could have had the energetic feeling of the first day, but this one is also delicious!
My wife also said that it was delicious, but that the more she drank it, the more it became bitter.
It's been a while since I've had a Sanbichi sake, and this was my first Nananozo sake! It was definitely a delicious sake!
Hi ma-ki-😃
The production land is very good 😍.
I remember Nino had a strong champagne 🍾 feeling, but I remember Nichinano as clean 🤔.
I'm not able to find it in our Hiroshima because there are no stores that carry it 😭...

I lost the timing to open it and have been storing it for New Year's 😅.
But I'm looking forward to drinking it based on your review😇.

I always get Sandon because I can't get it locally either 😅
Thank you, ichiro18!
It's been a long time since I've been to my first Nananou brewery in Japan and it was a delicious drink 😋.
We didn't have Christmas food but enjoyed the atmosphere with shuwa shuwa 🎵.
Thank you very much for your hard work over the past year🍀.
Thank you, Yasbay!
I was missing the timing to open it more and more, so I opened it on Christmas when the schwarz seemed to fit 🎵.
It was delicious 😋.
You're working until the 31st 💦 Really good job🍀.
Thank you, Wakata!
I was lost as to when to open the bottle, so I opened it here 🎵.
As you said, it was a great time to enjoy a refreshing saké in a warm room 😋.
Thank you, Pon!
If I didn't drink here, I didn't know when I would get the courage to do it again 😁✨✨.
As you said, it was a great way to blow off the fatigue of the year and look forward to the year-end and New Year's sake riches 😋.
Thank you, chika!
Finally, the New Year's sake rush has begun 😍!
I'm looking forward to drinking sake in a relaxed and leisurely manner, with chika's super-exciting sake post as a snack 😋.
Thank you Kano!
Thank you so much for all your hard work over the past year🍀.
Yes, I'll be drinking more during the year 😍! I'll still be drinking within the year 😍!
I've already decided what I'm going to drink at home during the year, so I'm going to enjoy drinking until the end of the year 😋.
Thank you, Chirsta!
Yes - are you getting into the sake swamp? I may already be hooked, so I'm working on soliciting some definitely good sake 😁✨✨.
Sanzu-san, it really was a blissful time with definitely good sake 😍!
Thank you, Mr. Afio!
You were drinking too, weren't you 😋.
It's really refreshing, juicy and delicious😍
I can understand why your mother-in-law raves about it 🎵
I'm so glad I bought it 🤗
Thank you, Mr. Jive!
We managed to finish our work safely this year as well🍀.
Sannodo's Nanano brewery was great on such a day: ⤴️
I've only ever gotten Sundo from Pochi, so I can't bring you there 😅.
Thank you, soumacho!
If we don't open the bottle now, we will be more and more confused about the timing of the event, so we have opened the bottle. ⤴️
I see that soumacho is opening the bottle on New Year's Day 🎵.
I'm looking forward to your post 🤗
Thank you, Jay & Nobby!
We had a solid sake lish at Sanso-san at the end of the year's work 🎵.
Yes, I'm sure I'll be back soon! I'm looking forward to enjoying a great time of drinking from here during the New Year holidays 😋.
On Christmas Eve, I wanted to drink something special. So, I chose my favorite San-do, the first Shi-no-jyo.
The aroma was refreshing, and as usual, the taste was shwashy. The sweetness and acidity are pleasant, and the umami of the rice can be felt gradually. It is still delicious. I wish I could buy Kago.

Today is the last day of work‼️ cleaning is over and I was asked to buy sake for the company's final party.
Amongst all the delicious sakes like Hirotogawa, Kudokibe, Akabu, Romain, Houou Mita, etc., I found this one‼️👀‼️
It's a little over my budget, but I had to have it 💦.
Today's snacks are sushi, roast beef and dry food! The bottle opened with a pop 🎉.
The aroma is nice 💜💜The initial attack is tangy and mellow 💜The taste is sweet and juicy and luxurious 💜The employees were surprised and happy to see such a sake 👀‼️
Sometimes luxury is good. 🙆♀️
Hi TOMO 😃
Thanks for all your hard work throughout the year 😌I'm glad you were in charge of the buying process and got one that you all enjoyed 🤗.
It's a luxury at the end of the year ‼️
Refreshing aroma like muscat.
In the mouth, it has a gentle sweetness and a bubbly, bubbly taste that goes down the throat refreshingly. Tastes like champagne without acidity. There is a slight bitterness at the end.
Ubusuna 2025 Yamadanishiki Ninonosai
It was mild when the bottle was opened, but when it was poured, it was very shwashy.
Easy to drink due to its gorgeous acidity and low alcohol content.

HOMASO|Shichinonosai" - Brewed from the origin of Japanese rice
Homase" is a native rice cultivated in Kyushu since the Edo period (1603-1868) and is said to be the origin of Japanese rice before the modern improvement of rice varieties.
It is not gorgeous, but full of flavor and receptiveness,
Standing in the rice paddy, it talks with the wind and has the strength of life with its roots in the soil.
To revive this ancient rice with nature is to restore the memory of Japanese agriculture.
Components of Nananou brewing
Rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin - rice that resonates with the local water
Nama yeast brewing: Natural lactic acid fermentation technique handed down since the Edo period
Pesticide-free cultivation: Practicing the philosophy of "not treating everything as an enemy
Fertilizer-free agriculture: Rebirth of the earth through symbiosis with microorganisms
Wooden Oke Brewing Method: Utilizing the fermentation of fungi and microorganisms with the aroma of Japanese cedar
No additive yeast - fermentation left to the rhythm of nature
Shiori - Ancient brewing methods that are rooted in ancient sake brewing myths.
This is the 2024 new sake I bought when I visited the brewery last December.
It's been sitting in the fridge for a long time and I haven't been able to drink it because I was too lazy😅.
And the other day, I finally opened it!
When I opened it, there was a great popping sound!
I wasn't expecting it at all 💦.
The carbonation that crackles from the soft mouthfeel is addictive 😋.
The moderate sweetness enhances the depth of the flavor and does not become monotonous while drinking!
👉 The slight bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste is just right.
I didn't think this sake could taste this good after a year, maybe even better than when it was first brewed!
Hi superbebe😃
I'm glad to hear that you have a healthy opening 🚀 even after a year of laying down 🚀 ‼️ and it's amazingly good when you drink it 😳I don't have it in my fridge right now 😅I'd love to lay it down for a year!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
My impression is that there are really very few Japanese sake, especially raw sake, that stays good even if it is left for a long time 🤔.
Good evening, Pon.
I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
I hesitated to take it.
It was left untouched for a year💦.
