I wanted to try this brand once.
I was a little worried because I am not so good with sour sake, but at first the sweet and sour taste was very good at room temperature! I don't mind this sourness. I rather like it! Maybe I'm being influenced by Nara Prefecture, but I'd like to drink it with Nara pickles 😊.
When heated up, the aroma stands out and it becomes a gentle umami acidity!
It is also delicious cold! But I prefer it at room temperature to hot 👍

Kanazawa Drinking Frenzy Trip - Fourth Drink 🍶.
For a change of pace... the next one I tried was this one: 💁♂️
It is a very unique sake... how should I say it?
It uses mizu-hashiroshi pure rice sake as part of the brewing water, and is brewed in the same way as so-called kijoshu, but it has a very unique taste.
It has a rich sweetness and lactic acidity that is concentrated and a little too much for my taste.
I think I should have gone for the regular Hanaboe... 💧.
By the way, mizu-hashiroshi means Bodhi yeast yeast, and if you like this unique sourness, this might be the one and only sake for you in a sense. 💁♂️
It was a long time ago that I had my first drink of Hanabake. The first one was a very dry and very active muddy called Splash. It was an interesting sake that tasted great with curry.
The last time I drank it was probably 2 or 3 years ago. I think it was a mizu-hashiroku nigori sake at that time. It was delicious with kimchi nabe.
This time, while looking for a dry sake, the manager recommended it to me and I bought it because it was sweet but tasty.
It was sweet and sour! It has a strong body with 17% alcohol by volume, and the bitterness comes and goes at the end.
It is quite easy to understand and delicious! Each of the flavors and specs are unique, so if served blind, the percentage of correct answers is likely to be quite high.
Some people may be put off by the fact that it is 17 degrees, but I recommend it. Hopefully, I would like to try a 12% version of this sake, and I hope that they will continue to serve this sake as it is.

The first impression is that it is a light drink.
It's very light and very tasty.
Not sweet and fruity.
but it is easy to drink and great!
