The color is clear and the aroma is slightly subdued.
In the mouth, it has a banana-like aroma with a dry feel and a delicious slight bitterness.
After all, it is very enjoyable to see a different side of the locality.

The last bottle I got from the Sangdo Shrine party.
It is a collaboration with Fukuoka sake brewery Shiraito Shuzo.
Tanaka Rokugo is well known, but the Shiraito brand is also a collaboration with a good sake brewery, so I had him buy it immediately 🍶.
It has a sweet aroma and when you put it in your mouth, it tastes a little tangy on your tongue and then the sweet rice flavor comes in!
The aftertaste is impressive with some sourness and sweetness coming together, and it was easy to drink and went down very quickly.

I recently went to a Hana-no-Kou sake brewery opening called Sanso Shinen Banquet. I bought this limited edition sake at the event.
It is delicious. The aroma is not so strong, and the taste is refreshing and gorgeous. It has a perfect balance of umami and ginjo flavor.

Hana no Kaori Junmai Ginjo Kikka.
While soaking in the afterglow of the Sanchoshinbetsu, we opened a bottle of Hana-no-Kou's Kikka, which was a farewell gift from a colleague from Kumamoto!
It is a cross between Yamadanishiki from Wasui-cho and Kumamoto No. 9 yeast, and you can sense the commitment to the Kumamoto region.
It has a sweet nose with melon and strawberry nuances, and on the palate, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and fruity overtones, while the sharp and crisp acidity gives a strong impression. This is probably the result of the sake's traditional sake making process.
The taste is different from that of Umehana and Sakurahana as well as Sanchi, and it is a bottle that further shows the depth of Hana-no-Kagura Shuzo's nostalgia.

Hana-no-Ko Umehana Morning Press Nama-nazake.
The long-awaited Sansho Shinenkai (Sacred Land God Party)!
I arrived in Kumamoto for two days and one night for this sake brewery festival organized by the Hananoka Sake Brewery.
There were three types of sake to be tasted at the event: the standard Yamadanishiki Ninonozo, the Hananoka Umehana Morning Pressing, and a limited edition mixed brew of Kago and Yamadanishiki.
The second cup was the morning pressing of Hana no Koka Umehana.
It was freshly pressed the day before for this divine banquet!
The fresh flavor was enhanced with a fruity, muscat-like topping aroma!

There were three types of sanshin banquet drinks, and if you used up exactly all the coins provided on the day, you could drink all three types! I was so excited 🤔.
Not enough to drink at all 😂.
So I got in line and opened the collaboration sake of Hana no Kaori and Shiraito that I got 😆.
I really like the sound they make when they open the bottle 🎉.
It makes me feel good 🎉! If you look closely, you can see that everyone is opening sake in the same way 😏.
The slight effervescence was the same as that of the three types we drank in the comparison, but the nigoriness and slightly lactic acidity may be a bit like Shiraito-ness.
The bubbles are light and easy to drink, and the four-pack of sake with the horse meat tofu as snack is instantaneous....
I've already opened one bottle and I still can't get enough 😭.

Next up is a rare drink 😊.
It's a test brew from Hana no Kou Sake Brewery✨
This one has quite a sour taste 😆.
It's quite an interesting sake 😊.
The more you drink, the more addictive the sourness becomes ✨.
It's also delicious 😆.

Nice to meet you Umehana!
It seems to be a venue exclusive ‼️
The sweetness explodes from the first sip 🤤.
It's not too sweet, but it's not too sweet, and it's not too sweet, so you can drink it easily.
This one was only for comparison, so I didn't buy it...
Instead, I bought the sparkling Hana-no-Kou, which was only available at the opening.
I'm looking forward to opening it.

I've wanted to go for a long time.
Hananoka Sake Brewery's Sake Brewery Festival "Sangojin Banquet
5,000 yen for a direct bus tour from Fukuoka.
I went to an event where the bus fare and a ticket worth 1,000 yen in exchange for a square were included in the price, which was also great 🍶.
Mrs...
I was busy with my work during the busy season.
I tell her it can't be helped (laughs)
There were so many stores there, and I heard there was a tuna demolition show, so I heard there were more people there than the previous year.
I wish I could have been there...
So...
But let me preface this by saying...
I had to buy something because I went there.
Limited Sake
Hana-no-Kou "Sakurabana" Morning Pressed Nama-nazake
The only way to drink such a thing is to drink it on the day of purchase!
The cherry blossom label is simple-is-best, as always!
Enjoying the pleasant sweet aroma, it is very light on the palate.
The sweet taste of the sake is soft and smooth with a mild sharpness, and it goes down quickly and easily... too much to regret 🍶.

Sangdojin Banquet! Sounds like a fun event... and you couldn't make it 😢.
I hope your wife was able to preview the event and you two will be able to compete next year 😊🤗.

Hi Jay & Nobby😃
That's right... we couldn't go 💦.
I got 3 limited edition sake instead, so I had 4 bottles of Hanakoka Sake at home, in addition to the waiting Sanburi (lol).
Next year I plan to go here or to the Nabeshima brewery opening! ✌️

When I started drinking sake, they still had it in Fukuoka.
At that time, there were so many sake that I wanted to try, and I thought that I could drink it anytime since it was from Kumamoto, a neighboring prefecture.
But it became a Kumamoto-only sake and I couldn't drink it 😆😆.
I wandered over to a liquor store in Tamana, Kumamoto,
Oh wow! I found Hana no Kou 😍😂😂.
I'd forgotten all about you because of the major popularity of Sandon in the country 😂😂.
When you open the cork, it has a sweet fruity aroma.
Not flashy but gorgeous sweetness in the mouth 😋😋.
Rounded acidity😍.
It's like strawberries 😍
It's so delicious ⤴️⤴️⤴️👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Rika 😃
It's not easy to buy sambudo, but I can't buy sakurahana and umehana in Tokyo, so I'm jealous 😃!
I would love to drink them again!

ymdaz! 😲Oh well! I'm in Fukuoka, so the Sanchi is rather popular and not so rare lol (that's extravagant lol) 🤣I was shocked when I found Hana no Kou 😆😆Let's go to Kumamoto ⤴️

Masaaki Sapporo! That's right! Hana no Kaori is only sold in Kumamoto prefecture and not even in the neighboring Fukuoka prefecture! It's not even available in the neighboring prefecture of Fukuoka 😂😂It's a different stance from the saké, but I prefer Hana no Kaori 😆.
