This rare sake is made from Hatsushimo rice, which is rarely grown outside of Gifu.
It has a relaxing sweet aroma, and its color is slightly candy-like, which is different from the color of aged sake. It has a moist sweetness and rich umami flavor, with a nice lingering aftertaste. Even though it is very crisp, it is not fizzy and has little acidity, so it is not suitable for all tastes.
I did not have lunch, but this is a good substitute for rice if it is rice rice.
The photos make me appreciate the farmer and the brewery even more.
It is one of my favorite sake at this time of the year and I forgot to drink it last year.
I had it for the first time in two years and it is still a good sake with a punchy 19% alcohol content.
For me, drinking this sake reminds me that 🌸 is coming soon and I can feel the season. ☺️

Good evening, Mattu-san. I want to drink this Usuzumizakura 😍I drink only matured sake, so I want to drink pitchy raw sake too and say 🌸 it will soon be spring 🌸 too 😊.

Dry, dry, slightly cemedine smell, a little bit peculiar, but it becomes easier to drink as you go on. I thought it would go well with a strong snack, but it also matches well with a gently seasoned Chinese cabbage hot pot 👍

Slightly astringent, with a slight cemedine smell. Dry taste. Easy to drink with no unpleasant taste. Mild with fried burdock. ☺️ Spiciness stands out with boiled mussel liver.
