I thought it was a counterfeit of Hana Yuu because the characters were similar, but when I looked it up, I found that this is a more venerable brand with a long history. I was mistaken. Sorry, Hanabama.
I slowly loosened the cork, but there was no reaction. However, if you let your guard down here, there is a type that will suddenly attack you, so you must be on your guard. In the end, the bubbles did not come up. The cage was still sinking. This may have been inactive nigori.
When we drank a little of the supernatant, we found it to be sour with little gas. It was tasty, but it tasted cheap or unimpressive.
If I had to venture a guess, I would say it is a sparkling sake with a refreshing acidity perfect for early summer.
There was a ding on the screw cap. I am not sure where the damage occurred, but I suspect this was the cause of the loss of flavor and gas. I will be careful about buying it in the future.
Good evening, Mr. Shirowama 🌙
I was surprised to see inert individuals because I remember drinking this last year and struggling a lot when I opened it 😆 Sometimes I carelessly damage the stopper myself 💦 so I will be careful 🤣.
Good morning, Kotaro.
Actually, I think I may have just found out clearly because this was not the first time it was active nigori.
Bottle gently and carefully. I take it that Hanaboe has taught me that by herself.

It was the bottom of the bottle.
Hence, it's The Ultra Nigori 🌾🤍.
I thought that with the bottom of the bottle there would be rice grains sinking in, but surprisingly there are very few 🤔.
Nevertheless, it had a robust flavor with thick rice flavor.
It was a nigori sake that I want to certify as nigori king👑🤗.

Hanaboe Yamahai Harazake Limited Nama-Zume
I dropped in for a quick drink on my way home from an errand.
I think this is the first time I came here alone.
Plum seeds that the wife had ordered from her hometown arrived, so we spent the weekend working with plums.
The sake we prepared this year is Hanaboe from Miyoshino Shuzo in Nara Prefecture, which is famous for its mizu-hashiro (last year it was Tomikunishiki from Hyogo). Hanaboe has a sweet image, but this sake is made for fruit wine, so the wild yeast is fed sugar to the limit in order to raise the alcohol content to the legal limit of 20 degrees Celsius, making it dry.
It is made with 1 kg of Nanko plums, 350 g of glacial sugar, and 1 shou of sake. I think a little more sugar would have been better.
I hope to see the result in a few months!
⚫︎2 The second one is Iwakagami, a flower in early summer
I went to Tanaka Sake Shop for my favorite Hanaboe.
It was a hot day, so I chose a soda pop for its typical sourness and freshness!
When I twisted the screw cap a little, the liquid level came up again and again.....................too much energy!
Finally, the bottle was opened. The lees that had accumulated at the bottom were already stirred up by the gas.
First, the aroma.
It smells like sweet yogurt✨It smells so good✨.
When we drank it, the richness of the mizu yeast spread along with the gaseous feeling of the shuwa shuwa.
I like this feeling that is typical of Hanaboe's mizu-hashiroshi.
The gasiness, yogurtiness, sweetness, sourness, and bitterness each have a solid profile and assert their own individuality, making for a very interesting taste.
It is fun to drink, fun to look at, and above all, a good sake!
