One day I went to the store in search of Hana-yoso. But there was none at all. Personally, I think that Hanahayo Kuyu and Katsuma are really illusions. But that aside, as I went around the shelves of the liquor store, I found a four-pack of Hanayo Kuyu, a sake for local consumption. Well, I thought I'd give it a try. So here we go!
The aroma is mild, but sweet and sour like pineapple. The slightly viscous brewing water has a slight pineapple sweetness and a simple umami flavor. This is neither too broad nor too moderate, but has a good sense of moderation. The bitterness and sharpness are longer than other sake, and the lingering aftertaste is truly wonderful. It is a little like Kikusen's Tasake, but drier than Kikusen, so I thought it would be good for those who have been drinking light, dry sake for a long time and want to try a modern sweet and fruity sake to start off with this one. Thank you again for your kindness tonight!
The mouthfeel is robust. The sweetness comes softly, followed by sourness and a touch of alcohol. The aftertaste slowly fades away, leaving a hint of sweetness. Delicious!
First time at Ai no Sato
Taste not so much to my liking
Slightly fruity aroma.
Slightly fruity aroma, rice flavor in the second half, and a bitter aftertaste.
I've never been a fan of hana-yori 😒.
Reminds me of my old crush💕🙄.
I've heard mixed reviews about Ai no Sato...
What do you think? I'm curious and want to try it.
Even though it's called light and dry, it's juicier than I thought it would be 😋.
Blue fruit🫒 aroma.
Beautiful acidity and sharpness ✌️
I wonder if the hana-yosu is so good 😘.
Today's Tsumami is
confit of sand zuri
Carrot rapé
Cream cheese and sea urchin on bucket
Definitely a recipe for gout 😁💕.
Scary 🥶.
But it's delicious 😋.
What's bad for you is good for you 🤭.
Hello, Mr. Minosuke 😃.
We used to be longing for Huayangyu too 😍but when we finally got to drink it, it was too sweet 🙁 Sometimes the longing of youth and reality are not the same 😅 maybe the grown up Ai no Sato is more suitable for us 😄.
Jay & Nobby. Good evening😊
It may be true 😲I'd like to try Hana-yoku at least once 😁.
I'm a big fan of sweet sake, but I'm not a fan of light dry sake either 🍶! I think I stamped a stamp saying I don't like it 😓.
Climbing the stairs to adulthood 🩷.
It is a regular local sake from Nanyo Jyozo, famous for its Hanayo Yu, and was purchased together with Sono Kangiku at a sake store in Saitama!
The aroma is moderate and fruity, with a refreshing sweetness that quickly gives way to umami. The taste is immediately followed by a refreshing acidity and a long-lasting bitterness. It is refreshing and easy to drink, but depending on the food, the sweetness disappears and the bitterness is strongly felt.
It tastes best when drunk with a touch of sweetness.

The liquor store I wanted to visit, I contacted them in advance for hanaabi.
I was told that there was only one bottle left, and the condition was that I needed to purchase a set of Ai-no-Sato, the brewery's regular sake, so I did!
A very cosy sake!
When I opened the bottle on the first day, I felt the taste was clear and refreshing, but when I drank it on the second day, I felt it became deeper and more umami. This is just my personal feeling,
I would like to add this sake to our lineup as a regular sake.
It's good 😋😋😋😋.
