I happened to get a bottle of New Sakurabana Nama Sake🌸. I opened the bottle. The bottle has a malted rice aroma. When poured, it is slightly carbonated. In the mouth it has a sourness like strawberries, sweetness from the rice malt, a slight wild woody aroma and bitterness, and an elegant sweetness that lingers on the tongue. When it is cold, the acidity is noticeable, but when it warms up a little, the sweetness and umami opens up and it is again delicious. I think it is similar to the Sansudo I drank the other day, but this one seems more refined and elegant. Also, is the koji taste a little stronger? In any case, it is delicious. I don't know when I will encounter it again. On the third day, it looks like the last of the strawberry milk I made by mashing it with a spoon myself 🍓🥛.

Eldest son went back to his hometown, so we compared good sake from Kumamoto. New Hana-no-Kou no Sakura-hana and Ume-hana Let's start with Sakurabana! Unlike the regular Sakurabana, it is said to be a draft sake, and the price is quite expensive😅. The aroma is gorgeous, and in the mouth it tastes sweet and bitter at the same time, but it is very easy to drink 🥰. It is very easy to drink 🥰 It also has a fizziness that is typical of nama-shu and a sourness in the second half 😋. I also like the slight koji taste 😁. It tastes quite different from the standard Sakurabana 🥰.

Good evening, TOMO! I'm so glad that your eldest son is coming home 🎵. Drinking time together is the best ✨ The local flower fragrance for such a saké 😋 is also the best 😋. I hope you have a great drinking time 🤗.

Very easy to drink! The aroma is just right and the habit is just right. It has a slightly fruity, fruity acidity, but it never goes beyond the realm of sake. It's like an all-rounder. Maybe some people like it without more quirks, that's what I'm talking about! I like it!

It is from the same brewery as our favorite Sansho! Umehana" is Hanaoka Shuzo's top-quality Junmai Daiginjo-shu, made from Yamadanishiki rice polished to 35% and brewed with No. 9 yeast and in-house yeast. It is characterized by a gorgeous, fruity aroma, and when sipped, the delicious flavor of rice spreads out, and a moderate bitterness tightens the whole flavor.

Also purchased at the brewery site. It has a refreshing taste with good water. There is a sweetness from the rice, but it is not unpleasant.

I bought this on a trip to Kumamoto. It is somewhat dry, which is typical of Japanese sake. But it is mellow and delicious.

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.

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 😳💖!
