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 😂.
We had it at YOKOBACHI near Kumamoto Castle.
Junmai Daiginjo Sakurabana.
It is tangy and spicy, with a richness that lingers to the end. I think it is a typical sake. I like it very much.
Halloween Takachiyo-san couldn't wait until Halloween day and drank it all up at the beginning of October 😂.
It doesn't seem like Halloween at all, but I'm going to open a bottle of this Kumamoto limited edition that I bought at the Hananaka Sake Brewery that I visited the other day 🍾.
I'm so excited about the stylish labels of Hana-no-Kaosan's sake 😊.
The first thing that comes to mind is the aroma of bananas 🍌.
The overtone aroma also smells like banana and a little bit of melon 🤔.
Compared to the Ni Nozomi brew, the gasiness is stronger and has an impact that you can feel at first.
The acidity is moderate, the sweetness is a little strong, the umami is small to medium, and the overall body is a little light and light 🤔.
The bitterness is a little stronger towards the end, but it's not that pronounced, and it cuts through the sweetness and umami, so it's just right ✨.
I hope they sell this all over the country 🥺.
It's as good as the Sanchu, so if you like ama-juwa, you should definitely try it 🍶.
Good evening, Chirsta😄.
Yes, it was! You already drank the takachiyo 🎃😆.
But this flower aroma looks so delicious 😋.
I can't believe they're as good as the production soil...
Too bad I can't get either 💦.
Good evening, Chesty 😃.
Oh, so it's gassier than the Sannodo no Ni No brew 😳I was under the impression that that one was pretty strong too, but I'm curious 🤔I'd like to try the Hana no Kou once, but I haven't come across it 😅and I'm attracted to the Kumamoto only 😍.
Good evening HinaHanaMama 🎃.
I couldn't resist until today because Takachiyo-san has a cute label too 😂.
I think this one is less umami and more gassy compared to San-do 🤔.
I really hope mama-san will drink Sundo 🙏.
Good evening ichiro18 🎃.
I prefer the Haika for the gasiness, but I felt it was a bit light, so I personally prefer the Sandoni Nozomi for the overall taste 🤔.
But I think the scent of flowers is a reward for making it to the brewery 😅.
Hi there, Chirsta 🐦.
I love it ✨I've never seen a limited edition 😻 That just makes it more exciting 😆 And it looks as delicious as the land it was born on! I really hope they sell it nationwide 🙏.
Good evening Ponchan 🌝.
I'm a 31 year old male who is a sucker for the word "limited edition" 😇
I think it's as good as the local one, so I'd love to see people outside of Kumamoto Prefecture have a chance to buy it too 😭.
It was worth the time and effort to go to the brewery ✨.
Alcohol content: 14
Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio: undisclosed
Orihara: Sparkling and yogurt-like on the palate.
The taste is sparkling and yogurt-like.
It has a light acidity and is delicious even without food.
