This limited edition sake is brewed with local rice called "Kinuhikari" using yeast isolated from Kawazu cherry trees near the brewery, based on the concept of using only raw materials produced in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The sake rice is "Kinuhikari" produced in Kanagawa Prefecture, with a milling ratio of 60%, and the yeast is "natural Kawazu-zakura yeast" from Matsuda-machi, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The sake was served well chilled!
From the first sip, I was like ✨✨✨this is my favorite one 😆😆.
The aroma and sweetness stand out from the very first sip👍.
It is gorgeous and has a good balance of both acidity and sweetness. There is also a fruity ginjo aroma and a rice flavor at the end 🤤.
We paired it with Hiramasa sashimi. This is a sake that also goes well with sashimi✨.
Brother! Thanks for your comment!
I had had Sagaminada before that, so it was interesting to compare and contrast the drinks👍.
Ryo was really a new discovery I came across at the store!
Please enjoy the brewery 😆!
Sake party at a nearby bar!
We had about 24 bottles to drink as much as we could.
I took note of all the varieties ✎.

Gorgeous and rich, with a cloying aftertaste.
Cherry blossom yeast is a springtime sake.

As the temperature rises, the overall taste is stronger and a little heavier.
It gives a slightly heavy impression.
If you warm it up
you may enjoy a different aspect 😁.
It's not Kawazu-zakura,

Walking Fuku with my wife
Fuku is also very excited😊.
Good evening, Manta-san 🦉.
If I see a spring-like label, I'll want it 😊and it's Kawazu cherry yeast! I wonder if it has a cherry blossom aroma or flavor? I'm attracted to it ❣️
Fuku-kun is in a good mood 😻Is there something about cherry blossoms that attracts you? 😊
Good morning, Manta 😃!
Kawazu Sakura yeast 🌸is THE spring sake! The taste review sounds delicious 😋.
Good dynamic photo of Fuku-kun under the blue sky 🥹 cherry blossoms 🌸.
Good morning, my eternal best friend Manta 😃.
I tend to buy spring liquors in jackets because they make me feel gorgeous ❗️
I'm the same way 😄.
Fuku-kun looks happy under the cherry tree🌸
Hello Pon-chan ^_^
I've been attracted to your label for a long time: ☺️
I noticed it after I bought it, Kawazu cherry yeast: ✌️
Fuku is always happy to go somewhere different.
In Fuku's opinion, dumplings are better than flowers 😁.
Hi Jay & Nobby ^_^
I bought this sake not knowing it was Kawazu Sakura yeast, but when I tried it, it was delicious ✨.
I'm glad you understand ☺️
The theme of this photo was dynamism: ✌️
Hello Chichi, my best friend forever ^_^
When I see a label that fits the season, I want to buy it. ☺️
I used a ball to guide him to run and jump, but he was happy to take a walk👍.

Spring-like lightness
Easy to drink with a gentle sweetness!
It seems to be a gem that is made with a focus on all of Kanagawa.
This sake was recommended to me by my favorite liquor store. It is brewed with a natural floral yeast discovered by the 11th generation of the brewery's young owner from the Kawazu cherry blossoms that bloom locally. To be honest, I couldn't really smell the flowery aroma, but it had a fruity, melon-like and woody aroma with a moderate fragrance. Thank you very much!
Sake with a refreshing aroma. There is a slight acidity, but it does not linger on the tongue and has a refreshing aftertaste.
Because it is made with cherry blossom yeast, it also has a floral sweetness.
All 3 men in our family (2 kids live away from home) have the same name for their drinks. lol
So I bought one of them.
I was hoping that if I had the chance, my son would come over for a visit,
I ended up drinking it, lol.

It seems that the 11th generation of the brewery named the sake brewery after themselves in order to grow together.
They are involved in growing their own rice, and they also harvest their own yeast from Kawazu-zakura trees.
When you drink it, it's fresh and unpasteurized! It's like a fresh, unpasteurized sake!
A little tangy on the tongue.
It also has a sourness.
It gets a little sweeter as it goes along.
Sake that grows every year.
Hi Takashi 🐦.
It's great that you all have the same name for your sake 😳‼️ coincidence? If I had a sake with my name on it, I would definitely be a fan 😁.
Thank you, Ponchan!
I thought I had enough for all three of us, and even lined them up, but since they were raw, I didn't wait and drank them. lol!
But later I checked and found a sake with my daughter's name on it!
I'd love to have all four of them someday 😃.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
It's nice to have a sake 🍶 with your child's name on it 🤗 and 4 bottles for your daughter to find too! I don't have a problem with your choice of celebratory drinks 😊.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby!
I'm not sure what the name sake means, but it makes me kind of happy☺.
But the kids don't drink that much sake, so I enjoy it the most.
100% "Wakamizu" from Kanagawa Prefecture, 55% polished rice. Alcohol content 15%. I couldn't help but murmur how delicious it was after just one sip.
