Impression.
An experimental sake that combines the wildness and freshness typical of Hanabatake with "cloudy, active effervescence, and high acidity. I usually don't drink much, but I gave it a try.
It is like a low-sugar version of makgeolli.
It seems to be easily accepted by people who are not used to Japanese sake. Does it go well with Korean food?
Repeat Score] 1.5
Sake from Yoshino, Nara Prefecture
I knew this sake brewery as a mizu-hashiro sake brewer, but this time I drank a recently released light nigori sake.
The aroma is of lactic acid beverage type acidity, with a strong fruity flavor.
The mild taste is followed by alcohol and a firm umami taste!
After that, the lingering taste of alcohol, robust umami, and bitterness makes it a perfect drink!
100% Mutsuhada rice, 55% polished rice.
This sake was brewed under the supervision of Mr. Takagi, Jyushiyo.
It is sweet, but it is not only sweet, but also elegant and refined, giving it a Jyushiyo feel!
It is a satisfying sake that will leave you feeling satisfied until the end.
Aroma is a little peculiar. Sweet and sour, umami and complex flavor. It is a bit spicy among Hanaboe's mizu-hashiro sake.
I expected it to be a little sweeter, but compared to other Hanaboe mizu-hashiroshi I have had, I got the impression that it was mainly spicy.
Sweet at the beginning but spicy at the end.
When I drank it again, it was like sweet, sour, and bitter?
After 5 days, it becomes sour and bitter and hard to drink...
Nara Pref. Yoshino County. Miyoshino Brewery Co.
Hanaboe Yoshino Masamune.
Purchased at the same supermarket in the neighborhood of my house where I went to see hydrangeas at Ofusa Kannon and Yada-dera Temple in Nara and called "Sanchoku Ichiba Yotte".
The sake is produced by Kitamura Sake Brewing Company of Shojo, Kitaoka Honten of Yatagarasu, and Miyoshino Brewing Company of Hanaboe, using sake rice "Gin-no-sato" harvested in Yoshino Town with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.
This time it is the Hanaboe version.
This time, the Hanaboe version is served cold.
The color is a firm yellow.
The top aroma is sweet to slightly burnt caramel aroma.
It is stored at room temperature on the supermarket shelf, so I guess it is a little aged.
The mouthfeel is slightly viscous.
After swallowing, it has a slightly acidic and astringent taste on the tongue, with a slightly complex and astringent aftertaste.
Nice Masamune for a great effort👍.
I may look for other Yoshino Masamune.
Ingredient rice: 100% Gin-no-sato produced in Yoshino-cho, Nara Prefecture
Ingredients:Rice(Nara pref.), Rice malt(Nara pref.)
Polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 16%.
Hanaboe is fermented (fully matured) to nearly 21% alcohol by volume, which is close to the limit. Although it is supposed to be kept chilled, it can be kept at room temperature and is very powerful.
Chilled.
The aroma is fresh and has a yogurt-like core. It starts with a watery mouthfeel, and its characteristic acidity, which ranges from crisp to thick, fills the mouth with a lively flavor.
The lingering acidity is also present, giving the impression of dryness with little sweetness.
It is said to be good warmed or on the rocks, so we would like to try it in a variety of ways.
