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!
National Sake Fair 2025 Osaka ③.
Next we visited the Kumamoto Prefecture booth 😀.
I heard that Mr. Taido, who I participated as a volunteer and was in charge of the fair the other day, was going to participate in the fair, so I went there to say hello to the president who took care of me, but I was disappointed that I couldn't meet him 🤣.
I was disappointed that I could not meet him 🤣 although I was able to drink with him for the first time in a long time.
I was also able to meet the president who was in charge of the event, but I could not meet him.
I often drink Sundo, but this was my first time to try Hana-no-Kaosan 😀.
The orthodox Sakurabana did not have the fizziness characteristic of San-do, but this OUKA was a seasonal draft sake with a delicious taste similar to San-do 😀.
It had a high aroma, a fruity flavor, a sharp and delicate taste, and a slight sparkling sensation 😀.
It's a pity that Sundo is available at the liquor store I go to, but Hana-no-Ka is not 😅.
Hi Yasubeyesan!
When I visited the Kumamoto booth, the Hana-no-Ko tasting was closed and only sales were available 😥.
I couldn't drink the Hana-no-Ko but I was lucky to be able to drink a freshly opened bottle of Kuyo Masamune 😋.
Hi bouken 😀
I, on the contrary, had overlooked Kuhyo Masamune 😅.
I went to the Kumamoto booth on Sunday before 11am, but at that time there wasn't so many crowds yet and there seemed to be enough flower incense 🤣.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
I was lucky because I don't see Kumamoto Prefecture's sake very often 😇.
But Taido-san will be back in July for the Japanese Sake Festival, so please come to Osaka to visit us 😇.
Junmai Daiginjo Exhibit "Hana-no-Kou 9" in pursuit of Kumamoto's original No. 9 yeast from the "Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery
This product was sold as Exhibit Sake 9 only at the Sake Brewery Festival, and it is not sold to the general public.
My brother gave it to me as a gift🎁(^^) It is sweet but well balanced and delicious🤤.
After overcoming an unexpected setback, we headed to Shima & Coffee & Sake 🚶.
I looked in the cellar immediately after entering the store and chose this one for a cup of sake 🍶.
Hana no Kaori Junmai Ginjo Kikka
Sweet aroma like a white peach before it ripens, the mouthfeel is against the aroma, the flavor is mellow and delicious, the taste is gentle and sweet, and it finishes with a gorgeous fruity aftertaste, and the last thing that remains is the bitterness on the tongue and throat.
For the entrée, we sampled a dish from Takashi's "Watercress soaked in watercress with fruit tomatoes and fresh ginger" that will be served tomorrow 🍴.
The sweetness of the fruit tomatoes, the flavor of the fresh ginger, and finally the freshness of the watercress, which is refreshing without bitterness, seems to be a project for tomorrow's "June 6th.
