This is the third pole run 🤪2025 for the record this year alone.
Pears before! but once I learned to describe it as green apple, it started to feel more and more like that 😂 and the fresh sauvignon blanc aroma. Is the aroma a little milder this year?
It's got a nice, tight gasiness, a clean sweetness, a refreshing acidity, a mellow umami that spreads out and finishes with a bit of bitterness!
Yes, I knew it, no matter how many times I drink it, it's still yummy🫨🫨!

Polishing: Koji rice: 40%/Kake rice: 40
Pour: 14
One of the best sake brands in Fukui! One of the best sake that makes me glad I came to Fukui!
Summer sake is out... but it's just barely spring, isn't it? 🤣
It has a malty but elegant aroma similar to Hakuneri (Hakugakusen Jungin)! After the necessary sweetness, the sweet, sour, and bitter flavors flow like a clear stream with a beautiful effervescence! It's the kind of flavor that makes you want to drink it in gulps!
This elegance...Good Echizen quailty.....
I'm sure you like Hakugakusen's raw sake!
I used to avoid Hakugakuzen's low alcohol seasonal sake because of its low alcohol content, but it's still delicious 🧐.
Good morning, Termat!
I've been chasing "Hakugakusen" every year and sometimes I can't keep up with it because they release a new seasonal sake or a new sake almost every 2 months 🤣.
But still, the one I'm after is not on sale🤔.

Basically, the gaseous taste is bitterness, but while it has a certain amount of gaseous taste, it is so delicious that I think it is the most ☝️ delicious sake I have had recently 🥰 I can't describe how delicious it is because I have a stupid tongue, but it is not sweet and absurdly easy to drink, although I have an image that spring sake is sweet.
I almost finished the whole bottle.
I want to drink it after a little bit of time 😅 Hakugaku Sen is a great one, it will be my favorite 👍.
Good morning, Maa-san!
I'm glad you liked the Hakugakusen Sakurazumi Nama Shu that comes out in early spring 🥰.
The next summer sake "Natsumushi" has also been released ✨.

It has a slightly bubbly taste. It is not sweet and has a sharp bitter taste! The aroma is gentle and refreshing, and it goes down your throat nicely.
