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 ⤴️⤴️⤴️👏👏👏👏👏👏

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 😆.
Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery is making a strong showing with their Sanchi, but this is a test brew, so they do not call themselves Sanchi. It is a raw sake that has been laid down at a low temperature for two years.
It is so vigorous that the lid makes a noise when opened. As the previous reputation that it is vinegar-like, it is not sweet but has a sour taste. It also has a white wine-like taste, but maybe it is vinegar because it is not sweet.
My impression is that it is a very interesting and sharp sake. They recommend it with strong-flavored Western food, such as Chinese food. I had it with a hamburger, which was junky, but that was okay.
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.
