Notes (see online information)
The concept is to create an original taste that adds lightness and freshness to the "relaxing sake" that the brewery aims for. Enoki Shuzo's regular sake concept, with the exception of kijoshu, has a flavor that is right in the middle of classic and modern, and is very popular as a food sake in Hiroshima.
Koi omachi, sake rice developed by the prefecture, is rare among the farmers who produce it; the Takamiya Sake Rice Division of the Hiroshima Hokubu Agricultural Cooperative, under the jurisdiction of JA Hiroshima Hokubu, grows Yatanishiki, Yatan 35, Senbon Nishiki, Omachi, and Koi omachi, which is the variety used in Hanahato.
Enoki Shuzo is said to be the first brewery in Japan to brew "kijozo-shu" from Ondo Seto, which is associated with Taira no Kiyomori.
Founded in 1899, the brewery was the first in Japan to brew "kijoshu" in 1974, and many people familiar with Hana-ni-Hato are said to think of the kijoshu aged sake that has won the gold medal at the IWC wine competition eight times. The sake is also popular among women in Hiroshima because of its cute "flower and dove" logo.

Not strong in aroma, but has a refined aroma like white powder.
Sake degree of -40 degrees.
Very sweet. The aroma is not so strong. The aroma is not so strong, but the taste through the nose is very melon.
It is sweet, but not too sweet, and has a good sharpness. It is rich yet refreshing.
I would like to drink it regularly as a dessert!
The standing aroma is about 7 to 3 of fruit and koji. It has a classical flavor, with a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity. It is delicious both cold and at room temperature.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased at Enoki Shuzo's brewery opening. It was my first time to go there, and I was very happy to go, even though I had my family waiting and it was a rushed tasting. I tasted several limited edition brewery opening sake and sake that I cannot usually drink, but I liked this brand the best for me 😆.
I was torn between this and a lees-related sake, but I chose this one because of its high Alc (16.5°).
Jacket value ... 5/10
The green bottle with a green image is very nice.
However, it is not good to put "Unfiltered Nama Sake" at the center of the bottle.
Ki ... 15/20
It has a faint odor of fresh Alc, which can be described as the smell of barley watered down with water.
The "piquancy" and "shwashwa" are used a lot in the obi, but it is not so.
Sei... 18/20
It is fresh, isn't it?
TURN ... 20/20
The sweetness is moderate, but it has a sweet sublimation smell.
Yui ... 15/20
The last touch on the tongue is "kin", which is a mistake due to its youthfulness.
COSPA ... 7/10
Purchased at 1,876Yen...no failure factor, but just one more push!
The sweetness and the sublimation smell in the middle part of the bottle solves all the problems.

Koi omachi" is said to be a super Sanya-like version of omachi, but I did not feel any omachi element in it.
The main ingredient is the freshness of the raw sake, but the aroma is more important than the taste! I was wrong, I'm sorry!
This is also at a standing bar near Hiroshima Station.
Among the three kinds of sake (on the right), this one was fruity but more classic.
It is not the kind of sake I would choose for myself, but I thought it would be nice to have this kind of sake once in a while, and paired it with seared mackerel as a snack. ‼️
Hello Nobuzo 😃
Hana Hato! I'm not a fan of the same kind of sake, but I happened to get it recently 😋 It's good to taste the sake 😅 that you don't buy when you drink out 🤗 and your tastes may expand from there 😄.
Mr. Jay & Ms. Nobby
Good evening ‼️
I've been enjoying drinking out these days by asking the staff at the restaurant for their recommendations! Recently, I hit the jackpot with Banshu Issen's Aizan!
This week, I took Monday and Tuesday as rest days 😪 and welcomed Wednesday! It was raining☔ and the temperature was dropping🥶, so we had nabe for dinner for the first time in a while🍲.
So we couldn't help but drink 😄.
So, Nobby went on an expedition to Ohwada Sake Shop in Tochigi City in search of a dry sake and chose this one🤗Hatsuka Hato 🤗‼️
It's up there in Sake no.11 in Hiroshima Prefecture, but I've never seen this label 🤔I checked online and it's not even on the Enoki Sake Brewery's product list😳 Apparently it's an original brand. I don't know.
I'll make love to you
I'll take a sip and it's delicious 😋I had a preconceived notion that it was going to have a strong alu feeling, but it has a gentle mouthfeel that gradually spreads to a sour taste that finishes off ☺️ and there's a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste 😚.
This is a bottle that is perfect for nabe (hot pot), and you can enjoy it slowly without getting tired of drinking it, but if you drink it with Otani on YouTube as a snack, it will be gone soon😅.
As it says on the label, it was a "relaxing and comforting sake" ☺️
Nobby did it: ‼️
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
I have heard of Hana Hato but have never had it yet🤣.
I am surprised that Hiroshima sake is commonly available there 🤣.
I have an image that Hiroshima sake is dry, but there are many kinds😇.
Jay & Nobby Good evening 🦉.
Congratulations to Hatsuka Hato 🎉I've never seen this label before, but it looks delicious with a dry but tasty flavor: ❣️
I've been trying to get my hands on some kijoshu, but the timing hasn't been good for me yet😅.
Jay and Nobby, good evening ^_^.
This is the first time I've seen this drink.
It sure looks like it's going to be a doozy, doesn't it?
Otani's last at bat was very close 🥲.
I'll be working tomorrow, so I'll record it and cheer for Yamamoto 💪.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning 🤩.
I'm just excited that it's your first time, and that it's a drink that hasn't been posted on Sake no Wawa 🤩.
It's great that you are taking a good rest day every week! I'm tempted 😅
Hello Yasube!
The range of liquor stores near Utsunomiya is very wide 🤗 our range of liquor stores is also very wide 😅.
This one was a really peaceful one: ☺️
Hello, Koizo 😃
What an atmospheric appearance, isn't it? And it was even better than I expected 😋 Expecting a surprise 😅I'm trying to rest my liver for the first half of the week 😐.
Jay & Nobby.
That's a spoiler 😁.
I haven't finished work yet, so I haven't been able to watch the game.
When I get home, I'll be drinking sake and watching Yamamoto's nice pitching: ✌️
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I guess Yamamoto-kun is about to show his true colors 😊I'm looking forward to seeing more 😌I've never seen Hana Hato before😳'Relaxing drink'...I'd like to try it 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
It can be hot during the day, but the temperature drops in the mornings and evenings, so we still have a lot of pots and pans to go 😁.
I'm wondering if I should make today's entrée [rohor nabe] ✨
Good evening Jay & Nobby😃Congratulations on your first Hana Tsuru. I haven't come across it yet, but reading this, it ranks among the sake I'm interested in 👍The first half of Golden Week is going to end with work, so I won't be able to see Otani-san at leisure 😓.
