This is the last souvenir of my trip to Aizu, Hanaizumi. The gentle aroma is reminiscent of bread and yogurt. The fine bubbles tickle and stimulate the tongue. The melon-like rich sweetness and flavor spreads with the fine bubbles and disappears with a full-bodied astringency. Sake from Minamiaizu is also delicious.
Found Hanaizumi at Queen's Isetan! Oh, Hanazumi goes outside of Fukushima~?
I like Hanazono. First of all, I like the label. And of course, I like the taste.
It has a slightly savory aroma...mushroom and nutty. It's a solid junmai sake with a mushroomy, full-bodied flavor. Is it a mature sake according to the label? A very satisfying bottle with a heavy flavor.
This sake was a gift from Fukushima Prefecture. It is a daiginjo-shu, which is clear, moderately aromatic, tastes good chilled, and has a strong flavor.
