Gorgeous ginjo aroma A little bit of schwarziness Sourness and richness give a refreshing feeling after swallowing. This may be what is meant by a sake with a good sharpness. It tasted delicious, so it was as good as the fat from the hokke (hokke crackers). Thank you Inomoto Sake Shop for telling us about it.

Sangdo Shinpyo Limited "Hananoka x Shiroito" (Flower Scent x White Thread) 2025. This is a collaboration between Hananaka Shuzo, which brews Sanchi, and Shiraito Shuzo, which brews Tanaka Rokuugo, and is a limited edition Sanchi Shinen sake brewed at Hananaka Shuzo using koji made at Shiraito Shuzo from Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima! It has a fresh, fresh nose with a strong lactic acidity and lychee-like nuances. In the mouth, the strong gaseous sensation is pleasant, and the thick texture on the tongue is reminiscent of Hana-no-Kou. The robust sweetness of Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima fills the mouth, while a refreshing bitterness and a smooth aftertaste can be enjoyed. It is an exquisite collaboration that combines the individualities of both breweries!

Hello, YSTJ! What a fascinating collaboration this is: ⤴️ And that it is a perfect combination of the personalities of both breweries 🤤. It's a bottle of bliss only for the participants of the divine banquet 😋.

Hi ma-ki-😊. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the divine banquet, but I was too happy to get my hands on the limited edition sake 😆.

Elegant sparkling with sweet and sour taste. It is a very ordinary, but impeccably beautiful sake. It was a good wine that I could drink easily. When I visited Fukuoka in early spring, I went to Omuta on the second day and rented a car to visit the brewery. We arrived at the brewery a little after 11:00 a.m., stopping at a roadside station along the way. At the Hanakairo (store) attached to the brewery, there was one customer who had already purchased two bottles of sansho and only one bottle of sansho remained!　Wow! Fortunately, there is a SANDO store within easy reach of my house, so I decided to buy a local brand, Hana-no-Kou (fragrance of cherry blossoms). My wife, who usually criticizes me for the pressure of the refrigerator on the draft sake, could not pass up the opportunity to buy three bottles of sake: a draft of Yuki-hana, a fire-brewed Sakura-hana, and a bottle of Umeshu. We were supposed to open them at the inn, but we changed our minds and decided to drink them in their proper form, so we packed them carefully and brought them home. I brought it back home with great care, including packing. As an added bonus, I got a commemorative 200 check-in.

Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you very much. It looks like you and your wife are getting along well. I'm trying to reduce the amount of raw sake in the fridge for the summer, but when I tried to move to refrigerating one bottle of fire-brewed sake, I got angry (lol).

Nf bapak, good morning 😃. Congratulations on your 200 check-in ㊗️㊗️ with a full bottle opening 🎉Good job on seeing off the laying soil and going for the floral fragrance spark 🤗.

Nf bapak, congratulations on your 200 check-in 🎉🎉! It's a good celebration for you, a very hard to find number at the Flower Incense 😊👍✨It was worth the effort to go there and bring it back 😉.

Japanese>English

Thank you, Jay & Nobby. Sansho is good enough for basic Yamadanishiki, and I see it in stores quite a bit, so I end up choosing different sake. There are many delicious sake all over Japan ٩٩_.

Japanese>English

Thank you, Pon-chan. Lately, it has become my default travel luggage to bring a set of cushion sheets and a 4-gallon bottle-sized bag, lol.

Cherry blossoms purchased at last month's Sangdo Shinpyo party were opened: ✨️ I was actually going to open it earlier, but there was no time to drink it and for some mysterious reason it was called pre-Mother's Day 🤣(probably because I was happy to have any excuse to drink it). I drank Umehana at the banquet and was impressed by its slightly cloudy and very light taste, and its fruity and light sweetness in the mouth. This was my first Sakurabana... First of all, the rich flavor of rice spreads! Is it rich and thick? The bitter aftertaste is not as heavy as I thought it would be at the end. It's quite drinkable 😙. I was drinking it with a moist ham cutlet rice cracker, but it was as strong as the spicy sauce flavor of the rice cracker, and both the sweet and the salty were gone without stopping 😱.

A little ginjo aroma. It is not limited to this sake, but the first sip is the most aromatic... From the second sip, for some reason, you get used to it and become insensitive to the aroma. The balance of sweetness and richness is good, although you can hardly feel the acidity! Even for a Daiginjo, the sweetness is not too strong. I don't feel that much alcohol, but I think it has a bit of bitterness for me. I would like to buy a bottle of Nama Sake next time.

Wife's birthday. We open a good sake. Sake obtained at the Sanso Sake Brewery Opening. It is a limited edition sake. It was very expensive. The aroma is a little lactic acid bacteria type. The mouthfeel is clean and mild. It has a beautiful sweet taste with a bit of sourness. The aftertaste is beautifully clean. It was a wonderful sake.

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-San😊Hana-no-Kou, it is only available in Kumamoto and has become much rarer. Sansho is delicious, but Hana no Kou is also delicious 🍶.
