Hanaizumi Activated Nigori Sake
☆☆☆☆☆
I've had Loman before, but this is my first time drinking Hanazumi.
Activated nigori is my favorite and very tasty.
The only danger is that it's easy to drink even though it's 16°. I was dead the next day from drinking too much.
I saw a review of it at Sake-no-Wa and went looking for it, but Hirotogawa's Nigorigo was also in stock, so I bought it as well.
At the cash register, the clerk said, "Oh, this is Shi-Deshi, isn't it? She told me that Mr. Matsuzaki had gone to study at Hoshi-san's place in Hanaizumi.
So, I'll take it from the master.
There are 4-5 cm of lees! This is exciting.
The aroma is peach? Grapes? Muscat?
When you drink the supernatant, you will feel the sweet rice and fruity flavor, but they converge surprisingly quickly.
After mixing, the sweetness increases a bit, and the rice flavor is soft and fluffy. It disappears with a little bitterness along with the carbonation, so it is not at all persistent. It has a nice sharpness and is delicious!
I saw somewhere that it is also delicious warmed up, so I gave it a try.
The aroma is of dusty, cooked rice or gohan (rice).
When you drink it, it is soft and sweet, almost like amazake. The taste is dusty, sweet, and soothing, with the richness and sourness of koji. The final taste is crisp with a touch of alcohol and sourness.
When lukewarm, it still has a fruity and sweet taste with a fizzy atmosphere, and it is as sharp as ever.
It is also delicious heated. ♨️
Overall, this sake has a sweetness, but it has a crispness to it that makes it easy to drink in a good rhythm. It's great with darker dishes!
Hi Manachy, ☀️
This is so delicious 🥳Manachy's review made me go look for it! Thank you so much 😆.
The warmed sake was also delicious, sweet but sharp! I'll definitely try it next time👍
Good evening, Mr. Kotaro😄!

I didn't know that Matsuzaki Touji's mentor. ‼️
I have to drink this!
I found a bottle of nigori (maybe fire-aged?) that was not this one at a local liquor store. I found a bottle of Nigori at my local liquor store.
Good evening, Kotaro-san.
I got the master and apprentice toji's sake at the same time: ⤴️
And what a delicious review 🥰.
If I ever come across it, I'd love to get it 🎵.
I'll try the nigori heated sake next time too 😊.
Hi Kotaro 😃.
There are many sakes 🍶 that you would like to buy from sakéwa reviews 🤗 especially the ones recommended by Manachy 😋 I will put them on my shopping list for Nobby👍.
Good evening, T.KISO 🌙
I heard that Mr. Matsuzaki, the genius who keeps challenging himself, is the master of this restaurant 😆.
I'm also interested in ‼️ please try it ☺️👍
Good evening, ma-ki-.
I took a batch to the cashier and got an unexpected spill 😊.
I'm glad you enjoyed the taste even though it's not my opinion 😋I hope you come across it👍.
Nigori heated sake is the best part of this time of year ☺️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the liquor store looking for it after reading your review 🤔Manachie's recommendation is sure to be delicious and makes me want to drink it 🥳.
Nobby, please go get some 👍✨.
Good morning, Kotaro! ☀️ I also saw Manachie's post and wanted to try it, so I'm drinking it now. ❣️ I was drinking it thinking it tastes similar to Hirotogawa 😋I see what you mean...it must be delicious 😚💕!
Good evening, Tsubu-chan!
Oh, I'm so glad we have the same timing! I'm glad we have the same timing☺️Manachie's review makes me want to drink it 🤤I didn't realize you could sense Hirotogawa from the taste 😳You have a discerning palate, Mr. Tsubu-chan👍✨Both Master and Disciple are delicious🥳.
Last year?
I wanted to try this raw one so I bought it 😆👍,

The aroma is like Mitsuya cider.
The aroma is like Mitsuya cider, and the taste is sweet like canned peaches 🍑 but the sweetness is quickly drowned out by the gassy feeling, so it's easy to drink.
Mix it up.
Does the aroma stay the same?
When mixed, the sweetness is there, but a little fruity sourness is added, and the taste of rice is firmly on the tongue. Then, the gasiness and a nice accent of bitterness gives it a tangy kick.
This is so good!
I wonder why I haven't had it before. ☝️
It seems to go with everything for a meal.
I think sashimi, meat, anything goes. 🍽️
I just happened to have some curry bread to go with it, and even curry bread goes well with it 🤣.
Hi Manachy😄
Looks so delicious😍.
Sweet nigori from the top, I love moro💕.
It's even more intriguing that it seems to go with everything 😘I'd love to try it 😆.
Hi Manachy, ☀️
Wow, this is the one I was wondering about: ‼️ Is it pretty sweet? I was wondering if it was pretty sweet, but the fact that it can be paired with any meal makes me want to drink it 😆 Maybe I should go look for it 😚.
Good evening, Kotaro 🌇I can tolerate it, so I don't think most people can't find it too sweet 😁I didn't try many things because it was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it dish, but maybe it's harder to find a dish that doesn't match 🤣.
Good morning, Mr. Manachy 😃.
Oh! Manachy's recommendation is definitely a good one and you can recommend it with such confidence 👍I can't help but buy it 🤗It's amazing that it even goes well with curry bread 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃I recommend this one with confidence 😁.
The Hirotogawa nigori will be out soon, so it would be nice to buy it together and compare the two 😋.

This sake has a mild, mellow flavor. It leaves a honey-like sweetness on the tongue, and is recommended for those who like the sweetness to remain persistent rather than refreshing.
Brilliant aroma
Tastes sharp when chilled.
The flavor is good.
As the temperature rises, the taste becomes sweet and full-bodied.
Characterized by a full-bodied flavor similar to that of Romain.

A special junmai sake from Hanazono.
It is made with the characteristic glutinous rice four-stage brewing process, and the yeast used is Utsukushimakohira yeast.
However, it is said that there are various types of this yeast.
I was under the impression that it was a caproic acid yeast, but the aroma was not that strong, and the sake was rather subdued.
I have always liked Hanaizumi, but this calmness is good.
I like this sake very much.
