Hana no Kaori is definitely the most drunk Kumamoto sake.
It's only available in Kumamoto now, so it's a great souvenir for people outside of the prefecture 😁.
Kikka is a slightly austere type of sake, somewhere between classic and modern 😋.
This time the sake also had an austere taste, and I enjoyed it more when it was warmed up than when it was cold 🥰.
Since drinking at an izakaya on the first day of my trip to Kyushu in January
Hana no Kaori 🍶.
I opened a bottle of unfiltered raw sake that I had gotten for drinking at home 😙.
Polishing ratio: Yamadanishiki, Koji rice 50%, Kake rice 50%.
Alcohol content 15 degrees Celsius
When the bottle is opened, it has the same melon-like ginjo aroma as the last time. When you drink it again, you can feel the fizziness and the sweetness in the acidity.
It finishes with a nice bitterness ✨.
Yes, like this 😄.
The taste is my image of my favorite type of sake made with Yamadanishiki 😊.
It's relatively easy to find in Kumamoto Prefecture because there are many stores that carry it, but it's a local brand so it's a shame we won't see it in other prefectures 💦.
If I were greedy, I would like to compare it with the Yamadanishiki from the same brewery.
The final touch is the fragrance of flowers.
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Kumamoto Prefecture
50% Koji rice, 50% Kake rice
Gorgeous aroma like melon.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and acidity are not flashy, and it finishes with a nice bitterness.
The entrées are nameko mushrooms, nigirizushi, and horse sashimi.
Sushi complements raw meat well.
The combination with horse sashimi is especially GOOD👍.
Thank you, soumacho 😃!
Great start to your first day 🤗 with a great selection of dishes and Kumamoto sake parade 👍!
I'd like to try Kumamoto's horse sashimi too 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby, thank you here too😄.
I got the Hana-no-Kou so that I can drink it at home too 👍.
The horse sashimi from Kumamoto is served with sweet soy sauce, and I couldn't get enough of the melt-in-your-mouth, texture, and sake pairing 😊.
Junmai Daiginjo Hana no Kaori. Good at room temperature or chilled. The slightly low alcohol content is also a nice feature for a mid-meal drink.
Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 15%.
