Cherry Blossom🌸
The one I got at the flower corridor at the brewery.
It's quite shuwashuwa🫧.
It has more 🫧 than Sakurabana before Sundo appeared: ⤴︎
I mean, I don't really understand the difference between this and sambudo😅.
❄️Hana no Koka Yukihana❄️
When poured into a glass, the soft cloudiness and thick texture unique to ogara-mi are impressive.
The aroma is subtly sweet, and although it is subdued, it is somehow soothing and gentle.
When you put it in your mouth... the bubbly and sweet taste spreads at once, and the fresh and lush aroma, like that of a melon, explodes at once🍈✨.
This is a bit of a shock level of deliciousness 😋.
The balance of thickness, gasiness, aroma, and sweetness is exquisite, and the taste is sophisticated and different from just a "sweet" taste.
It was a perfect treat for me.
🌸Hana-no-Kou Sakurabana🌸
This is one that I was attracted to from the name.
The color is clear and transparent.
The aroma is subdued, but the moment you take a glass to your mouth, the sweetness spreads softly and gently...
The refreshing and delicate taste made me let out an unintentional "delicious..." 😋✨.
Not too gorgeous, but elegant enough to leave a lasting impression.
It is the kind of sake that can be drunk with a meal or just to accompany a casual evening.
This is a sakura sake that you will want to drink all year round, not just in the spring.
Hana-no-Ko Ume Flower
The color is clear and it has a sweet aroma of rice.
It is delicious on the palate with a white grape-like flavor and a light effervescence.
It's hot and melting 🫠 every day... at least on the weekends we want to be happy ✨❗️
So.... I'm going to open a special one 😎😎.
This is 💁 from the "Hananaka" series of Kumamoto Prefecture limited edition sake by Hananaka Sake Brewery, who brews my favorite brand "Sancho"... Sakurabana🌸✨.
I was lucky enough to get it through a friend of mine 🙇 (It's not for resale!).
It is a renewal of a product that was originally labeled "Sakurabana" by Hana no Kaori? I'm not sure if it's a renewal... but the labeling is stylish 😍.
I'll give you a quick report as soon as possible.
When the bottle is opened, the strawberry-like aroma is very nice and intriguing even before you drink it 🤤.
Pouring it into a glass from the glass, the gorgeous aroma became even more intense 👌.
The first sip, the sizzling 🫧 taste reminds me of Champagne from the land of origin 🍾, while the taste is like a cross between strawberry and apple 🍓... irresistible 🥰.
This flavor... makes me feel rich for the weekend ‼️
Sansho is much more like Champagne, but this one is like a sake based Champagne 🥂.
Hana-no-Ko-san...let's bring it out all over the country and make Japan rejoice: ‼️
This one is soooo good 🤣
Even better on day 2 😳💖!
Hananoka Ouka
I've had San-do before but this was my first time to try Hana-no-ka. I prefer San-do.
It is said that when the brewery was founded, the aroma of an old plum tree wafted into the brewery, giving rise to the name Hana-no-Ko.
Today I bought this limited edition sake at the spring Hananaka Sake Brewery Festival. It is made from rice and rice malt prepared by Shiraito Shuzo, a popular brewery in Fukuoka Prefecture, and brewed at Hananoka Shuzo. When the bottle is opened, it is carbonated with a pop. It is sweet and light as it is slightly carbonated and bubbling. It seems lighter than the usual Hana-no-Kou, perhaps due to the koji. It is a perfect match for horse mackerel and yellowtail sashimi.
This is a locally-distributed sake, though the company's nationwide brand is Sanchi.
It's a bit hard to open. It's a bit sweet, but it's not cloying, so it's not sticky, maybe because it has a bit of acidity.

I got this Sakurabana at the Hananoka Sake Brewery that I visited during my weekend excursion to Kyushu the other weekend.
I'm looking forward to drinking it because I've rarely been able to drink it since it became available only in the prefecture.
The aroma is fruity like a peach.
One sip and you'll see... It's delicious!
The smooth texture on the tongue is pleasant, and the rounded sweetness and umami taste expands at once.
I also like the way it finishes off with a firm bitterness.
The flavor of the flowers is delicious!
I'm also looking forward to getting the Sakurabana with the revamped label 😆👍
While having a sake talk with the owner of the restaurant, he popped it on the table and placed it here.
When I saw the bottle, I asked him if it was from San-do (⁉️), and he said it had the scent of flowers.
I thought the label was SANDO, but it was indeed HANA NO KOU.
I didn't study hard enough😵💦💦.
I was surprised that the flower scent came out the other way around😳.
Your husband, you come out with great stuff!
The alcohol content is 14 degrees.
I've only had Hana-no-Kou with Sakurabana, so I had high expectations for this one.
It has a fresh mouthfeel and elegant sweetness.
This was delicious 😋.
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
I don't think I've ever seen a flowery incense with such a senescent appearance 😳 Really! It comes out great 🤗I'd love to try it 😋.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
I totally misunderstood the label and the color to be Sanzu no Kako 😅.
They've renewed the label ✨.
They are all amazing and I can feel the store owner's dedication to sake 😄.
Hana no Kaori Junmai Daiginjo 2024 Exhibit 9.
Sake 9, which was sold exclusively at the Sanchoshin Banquet, is now on tap in celebration of Father's Day!
The specs are appropriate for an exhibit sake with 35% polished Yamadanishiki from the Kikuchi River basin, but the fact that it can be tasted as a draft sake makes it very special and raises expectations.
It has a fruity nose with hints of pear and lychee, and a smooth mouthfeel with a slight gassy sensation. It has an elegant sweetness and expansive flavor, with an impressive expression of acidity. A pleasant bitterness reminiscent of cherry blossoms colors the extended finish.
It is a masterpiece that expresses the best taste with a completely different approach from that of its native region!
