Fruity aroma, sweet and delicious. Melon...banana...strawberry...? It has a mild taste, but it also has a berry-like sweet and sour taste. Even right after drinking Hanamup, I could feel the sweetness. I think it has a stronger taste and sweeter than the junmai ginjo I drank before. (I don't have a Junmai Ginjo on hand right now, so I can't be sure.) There is a bit of bitterness to tighten things up a bit at the end. Very tasty. I'm sorry it took me so long to open it. PS: Compared to the Junmai Ginjo (the regular light blue one), this one tastes stronger and sweeter. The taste and aroma are similar, but the Junmai Ginjo is a little more acidic and refreshing. I like both.

This is Ayai, the "Stranger from the Land of Sai" ✨️ The first aroma is fruity and sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight sweetness like white grapes and pears with a hint of sourness. It was refreshing and delicious. ✨️🍶

Polishing ratio: undisclosed Alcohol content: 14%. It has a sweetness that is restrained, with a sourness and a strong bitterness at the end. The sweetness is restrained, and the acidity and strong bitterness at the end are characteristic. The taste is not flirtatious.

Fresh rice aroma, slightly sweet and sour mouthfeel, slight effervescence, pleasant mouthfeel. A sake that makes you feel spring. Slightly sweet taste, but it does not interfere with meals. It is just right.

⭐︎5 When you put it in your mouth, it changes from sweetness to sourness to bitterness to sweetness. A sake with a wonderful balance of sweet and sour tastes that allows you to enjoy the ups and downs.

I had a bottle of Sairai's Hanasumi. The frosted bottle with a light misty color is the same as that of "Usugiri", a winter sake of the same Sairai brand. The simple and smart label and the stylish appearance of the frosted glass bottle give it an atmosphere that other brands do not have. Like Usugiri, I wanted to try it as soon as I saw it and jumped at the chance. There was a warning tag attached to the bottle, but I opened it without any difficulty without the bottle flying or spewing. I drank it with the image of the gorgeous aroma and sweet taste of Sairai, but it was a little different. The moment you put it in your mouth, it has a light sweetness with a soft umami and a gentle acidity that is typical of light nigori, but the bitterness follows soon after, and the crisp and spicy aftertaste of alcohol follows, leaving a clean and dry impression after drinking. With this Hanasumi, I feel I was able to experience the difference between junmai ginjo and special junmai. The Sairai I had been drinking was a junmai ginjo, but Hanasumi is a special junmai. I thought it was suitable for drinking during a meal because of its lighter taste and less cloying flavor. This time we served it with grilled fava beans, and it was a perfect match with the green bitterness of the fava beans. As a spring sake, it would go perfectly with spring ingredients such as butterbur sprouts and rape blossoms.

Our favorite Sairai, Vesper is now on tap 🎉. This Sairai has a stylish bottle 🥰. Vesper is a part of Sairai's premium series ❣️ This series is a series of stars shining in the night sky ✨. The first star, Vesper, was glowing on the label: ⭐️ The specs are undisclosed and it seems to be a more complete sake than usual. This is highly anticipated😍. Now let's get to it 🥂. The aroma is slightly sweet. Fruity sweetness spreads pleasantly in the mouth. The acidity is added in the latter half of the bottle, and the juicy sweetness and acidity quickly fades away. 💕How delicious 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤! I can't stop smiling 😋. It's a classy, elegant sake with exquisite sweetness and acidity 🥰. Premium, I agree ☝️ I knew I was getting a solid taste of a grade higher than the regular Sairai. It is really easy to drink with no spiciness, bitterness or unpleasant alcohol taste at all. It makes you want to drink it all the time. ☺️ The sweetness is just right, so it won't get in the way of your meal, and I think it goes perfectly with western food 🥩. Of course, it can also be gobbled up on its own! This premium series made me feel elegant 😘Sairai most 🙌

Since I drank a lot of craft beer outside during the day. I had a leisurely dinner with prepared foods at a department store. It was a good evening drink because it was low in alcohol content and easy to drink.

I finally had some free time on the last day of GW, so I went to the corner at Third Place. The fourth drink was a bottle that I personally could never buy, as it is only available at some liquor stores and restaurants! Sairai S's This is a test brew from Kitanishi Shuzo, which is gaining popularity for its Sairai and Bunraku brands. This is the first time I have seen a green Sairai! I didn't even know it existed, but it is not Junmai but Ginjo spec. I had an image that Sairai = Junmai, but this one has a refreshing aroma! The aroma is fresh and clean, reminiscent of Bowmore or Laphroaig whiskey. Compared to Sairai, it has a dry impression. If you are a regular drinker of Sairai, I think you will find it interesting to try.
