A little early birthday celebration this weekend as my wife's birthday is this week 🎉.
My wife doesn't drink sake, so we'll have Kava 🥂.
Here's what we drank afterwards
Hana-no-Kou no Shinshu🌸
The aroma is a ginjo aroma with a light sweetness
The taste is sweet, but with a hint of sourness and spiciness.
Is it drier than usual?
The second half also has a strong alcohol taste 🤔.
I preferred the fire-brewed Sakurabana from last season that I drank the other day 😞.
Hello, TOMO!
Happy birthday to your wife 🎉!
It's nice to toast with Cava that your wife can drink 🥂.
And sake too 😁✨✨.
I haven't had Hana-no-Kou yet, so I'd like to try it someday 😋.
Thank you, ma-ki - 🙇♂
It's been a while since I've had a good Cava 🥂.
Hana-no-Kou is now only sold in Kumamoto, so you won't find it outside of Kumamoto 🥲.
Happy birthday to tomo and his wife 🎉🎂.
That's a nice series of drinks that are perfect for your birthday ✨I haven't sipped the flower fragrance since when (and I drank it outside 😂) 💦I'd like to taste it here too 🙏✨.
Thank you, Pon-chan: 🙇♂
Hana no Kaori is now only available in Kumamoto 😅But the price is going up and up and up, and I won't be able to drink it anymore either 😂.
9.7
The top aroma is sweet pear, with a hint of muddy rice-horse aroma.
In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness and juicy peariness. After that, there is a rich umami taste of rice derived from nigori-age. It is clear without the bitterness and alcoholiness characteristic of nigorizumi.
It's a real treat. Overall, it is an ideal muddy sparkling wine with a juice type taste.
It is just like the sweetness of the previous Hiran Kijoshu.

A bottle at the Kumamoto offline meeting: ‼️
I was finally able to drink Hana no Koka, which is now only distributed in Kumamoto Prefecture ❗I was very touched 😂.
It's a very drinkable sake with a nice aroma 😋.
On the last day of the school trip, we drove to Aso from Kumamoto Castle, but there was a heavy fog at the mountain pass 😲 Choroki-san, you must have been nervous, I'm sorry 🙏 We gave up Aso to give priority to safety and turned around to go to Hita City in Oita Prefecture! We had the famous "Hita Yakisoba" and the noodles were delicious, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside 😋😋.
I hope to go on another school trip next year 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle King 🌛.
I remember it was very foggy when I drove through Aso in the past, I guess it is easy to occur in this area 🤔.
[I've never heard of Hita yakisoba, looks delicious 🥰.
The new version of Sakurabana.
I don't know why they put it there, but it had more rice flavor and sharpness than the old version.
I think I might like it better than Sancho.
This is the first time I've had a non-Sando one, and I like this one even though it's a completely different strain.
It has a good balance of sharpness and bitterness, and is easy to drink.
I like it.
We were served Hana-no-Kou 9, a junmai sake brewed by Hana-no-Kou Shuzo using Kumamoto's native yeast No. 9.
Unlike the usual Hana-no-Ko, this sake had a crisp "hardness" and a delicate yet core impression, with a clear aroma typical of No. 9 yeast, and was brewed to the exact specifications for the competition.
It was a rare opportunity to experience such a special sake, so I sipped each cup carefully, savoring every sip. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to experience these precious sakes. ☺️
With the price increase this fall, the price of Hana no Ka has gone up quite a bit 😭.
This is the one I bought before the price increase (quite a while ago)
It's been sitting in the fridge, but it's usually sweet and delicious 🥰.
But I might hesitate to buy it now that it's over 2000 yen due to the price increase😅
The new sake that came out the other day was 2,600 yen (I bought it 🤣)
I don't have enough pocket money 😭
Good morning, Mr. Matsuchiyo!
The price of rice has gone up 😭
I guess the price of rice has gone up too 🥲....
Come to think of it, Nabeshima has gone up quite a bit too 😂.
