The first sake to be opened in 2025 is Kantou no Hana Junmai Daiginjo!
The liquor store recommended it to us, saying that it is a very daiginjo-style sake. The label reads, "There is a possibility that the stopper may pop out due to gas pressure.
Is it a fruity sake with a ginjo aroma? We opened the bottle with high expectations!
The cork didn't pop out, but I opened the bottle to hear a psshhhh sound. It is quite a ginjo aroma~!
It is sweet, mild, and fruity!
I see...it's like The Daiginjo.
It was a perfect sake for the first saké of the new year.
I will savor it carefully. ‼️ Bye~!

Second bottle for the New Year's holiday!
HIIT, strength training, and running today.

My knee pain is fixed: ❤️

I buy two bottles just to get in the groove when I'm drinking all the time.
Even though I drink as little as possible, I love the sake package!
There are people in my family who drink it, so it will be digested without waste 😁.
A souvenir of my trip from a friend.
Holy brewery, but not holy.
Kantou no Hana
The selection of the
It's so austere.
When the bottle is opened, there is a gas pusher sound.
When you drink it, you can feel the slight fruity flavor.
It is pleasant.
However, it is followed by a spicy and satisfying punch.
satisfying punch.
It's so good!
Kanto-no-hana "Betsuatsurai" (limited quantity)?
Purchased at the Sei Shuzo direct-sales shop.
The fruity aroma, sweetness, and slight gassiness make it an unforgettable sake.
It is a sake that I would like to keep as one of my favorite sake if I have the chance to get it again.
From our favorite sake brewer, Sei Shuzo
Kantou no Hana" Junmai Ginjo directly bottled.
It is a new sake.
It has a different round sticker than the regular version.
It is available for purchase at the direct sales shop attached to the Sei Shuzo Brewery for ¥1,600- (tax included).
The aroma is fresh and pear-like.
Sweetness, acidity, slight bitterness, and a slight gasiness.
It is a favorite of my wife and I.
It is a favorite of my wife and I.
There was a label warning to open the bottle, and it popped quite a bit when opened!
The fruity aroma, pear-like sweetness and acidity, and strong gasiness were all to my liking.
Postscript
The next day after opening the bottle, the bottle was opened again with great vigor.
The sweetness and acidity seemed to have increased slightly. The gaseous taste was the same.
The days of sake from the Sei Shuzo Brewery continue.
Kantou no Hana Junmai Ginjo.
The aroma was slight, but the sweetness and rice aroma spread quickly in the mouth.
The aftertaste was refreshingly sweet like muscat with a slight sourness.
I bought a trial size 300ml bottle because they were out of the 4-pack, but I would buy and drink this sake again if I could find a 4-pack outside of the brewery.
It was almost the same sake as the Meiho Akagi Junmai Ginjo Activated Nigori Sake we had last night.
It was slightly less sweet, but that may have been my imagination.
The aroma of rice was more pronounced than the nigori sake from Meibo Akagi.
Although not stated on the label, the waiter told us that the sake was made from "Hitomebore" rice grown in the prefecture.
This sake was also very tasty.
Another brand from the brewery that brews Sacred Sake
This is my first time to try it!
It is a calm sake 🍶.
The label is made of velour, just like the hijirizumu!

This is the second of two bottles of Kantou no Hana (Kanto no Hana), Junmai Daiginjo, purchased at the direct sales store of Sei Shuzo where we stopped on our way back home. The label is the same as the first bottle of Junmai-Daiginjo-Active Sake, with three-dimensional foil-stamped letters on a raised surface.
As the label on the back of the bottle says, this nama-zake seemed to be a limited edition for direct retailers.
As soon as the bottle is uncorked, it has a sweet and fruity aroma. When poured into a glass, the color is pale yellow. As is typical of nama-shu, tiny air bubbles drifted in the air, giving the impression of freshness even visually.
The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma. From the aroma, I imagined a modern taste, but when I drank it, I was surprised to find that it also has a classical flavor. It has a strong umami flavor with a mild acidity, so it does not feel heavy. The classical sake character seems to come solely from the crisp alcohol taste. The bitterness and astringency are kept in check, and the lingering aftertaste is faint and fades away due to the clear flavor with little clutter that only a daiginjo can offer.
Like the Junmai Ginjo Activated Sake, this Junmai Daiginjo is a sake with a wide range of characteristics.
It was a bottle that made me suddenly interested in other sake made by Seishuzo.
This is the first of two bottles of Kanto-no-Hana (Kanto no Hana) that I purchased at the direct sales store of Sei Shuzo when I went back to my hometown Gunma in the summer. In Tokyo, you often see Sei and HIZIRIZM as Sei Shuzo's sake, but this Kanto-no-Hana was the first bottle for me.
The label features foil-embossed letters on a raised surface.
Following the bottle-opening warning tag, I chilled it well and opened it slowly without any spurting.
After stirring the lees and pouring it into a glass, bubbles gradually appeared on the inner surface of the glass. The aroma is mild, but when you drink it, you can taste the strong umami and acidity. It has a gaseous and fresh mouthfeel. It also has some classical sake nuances.
It can be enjoyed on its own, but it also has a wide range of acceptability as a food sake that can be matched to both Japanese and Western occasions.
This is the third sake from Gunma, following Sakiyami and Oze no Yukidoke. There are many other sake that I would like to try, such as Ryuki, Machida Shuzo, and Tsuchida. I will continue to enjoy sake from my hometown little by little.
Gentle, said the manager.
It is indeed fresh, refreshing, and gentle.
It has an apple-like flavor with the richness of rice and koji.
It has a proper sweetness and umami.
It has a sense of purity and a good balance.
Good.
