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!
A brief description of the brewery's brewery
Rice: Hitomebore produced in Gunma Prefecture
Polishing ratio: 35% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice
Alcohol content 15
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.
Degree of liking ☆ 3.5/5
Slightly carbonated with a sweet taste. This is good. Best on such a hot day! (Mountain Climb + 10 km Chojabaru Run)
A refreshing sparkling Daiginjo.
One I bought when I went to Ikaho.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law were not able to make it due to health problems.

The label reads "Kantou no Hana" in hiragana. And it is made of cloth. Unusual 😳
The color is transparent.
Almost no scent.
There is a little carbonation, as is typical of nama-shu. It is not very mild on the palate.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the acidity. It is not too strong. It is refreshing without a hint of sweetness.
There is an astringency in the aftertaste, but it leaves a juicy and delicious taste.
The acidity and umami are the main ingredients in this refreshing sake.
It is exquisitely delicious with a dark but not unctuous fruitiness.
It is also fresh, with a good acidity that leads to a lingering finish.

This one, too, is hiragana.
I had had a saint and had no idea it was one of ours until I got home and looked at it.
This is another first time challenge.
It's been a while since I've had a first one so I'm glad I could post it. Well, let's have a nightcap.
Gorgeous fruity aroma, full of sweetness and rice flavors, smooth acidity.
Overall rich, with a three-dimensional and layered mouthfeel, a soft finish, and just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, this is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.
Junmai Daiginjo made from Gunma, maybe Hitomebore
The aroma is apple-like and fruity.
The aroma is not too bright, but just right.
The taste is quite sweet at first, but from the middle stage, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the aftertaste is refreshing and easy to drink.
A normal tasty sake.
