Today is a perfect day for touring!
We went to a local sake shop in Ishikawa-machi while worshipping the revered Toyokuni Sake Brewery in Furudono-machi! It was a good sake shop and I was able to purchase some good sake! I will go back! On the way back home, I detoxed my mind and went home to see the "Strong Waterfall", one of the 50 best walking trails in Fukushima!
I fried up some local flounder for snacks and had a refreshing Hanaizumi nigori.
(*ˊ˘ˋ*)!
This is so good! It's so good, I don't know what to do, it has a freshness like a new actress selected for a morning drama, an elegant sweetness, and a subtle bitterness that is exquisite...!
Hanaizumi is a place where you can feel the good ingredients, techniques, and time and effort! Bon Appetite for the terroir of Aizu!
Thank you Manachy for your comment 🙇♀️ ̖́-
It's getting to be a bit of a worry about freezing in the mountains 💦.
Hanaizumi, I was actually thinking of buying it after reading your review ✨.
A fresh, green ginjo aroma reminiscent of muscat and melon.
Soft and clear sweetness in the clear sake, with a mild creamy sweetness derived from nigori-damori.
The lingering aftertaste is refreshingly tightened with a light bitterness and acidity.
The gasiness is moderate despite the active nigori, which may be due to the individual characteristics.
Kotaro-san told me about Hanaizumi nigori, a sake that Manachie-san also enjoyed drinking 🥰.
The aroma was mild.
I will start with the supernatant. The gas is very piquant. The sweetness is beautiful😍The umami is light yet full, and the acidity is gradually sweet and delicious, making it easy to drink 😊.
Mix the lees ✨The texture is mellow and silky, but the sweetness is pleasantly sweet and refreshing 😊This is delicious 😊.
Third day, it has a mellow texture with a full-bodied sweet umami, and the acidity is crisp and clean! The balance is perfect 😊I can't complain about the taste 😍.
Hello ichiro18😃
I've never had Hanaizumi, but if Kotaro-san and Manachie-san drink it and it tastes good, I'm sure it must be good 🤤Silky, sweet, gassy and refreshing is great 🙌!
Hi HinaHanaMama!
It was very strong and had a different taste from the Yaman-no-i 😊Yaman-no-i is a beautiful and delicate woman, while Hanaizumi is like a man who also shows his powerful side 🤩 Both are from Minami Aizu! Both are from Minami Aizu!
Hi Manachy 😃.
That was delicious👍
This and the Iheke lineage is powerful 😍I'll try it when I go to Saitama on New Year's Day because for some reason there is no Yamaoka family in Yokohama 😁.
Hi ma-ki-, good evening to you too😃.
It was a delicious active nigori 🥰, and the smoothness of the nigori is also good 😊Haretoke sells it, so please try it 🥳.
Good evening 🌙, ichiro18!
I see you drank it right away 😆 Manachie was the one who made this drink boom last year 🙌✨.
It really tastes as good as it is written 🥳I'm looking forward to it as I have a waiting list 🎶.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It was really delicious, wasn't it? I knew the flu 😷Manachy's influence is strong 😁 I can't wait to see what drinks will be popular next 😉.
Good morning ichiro18 🐥.
I was looking for it last year but it was already too late and I was drinking raw sake 😅I'm late again this year 😂I want to drink it even more if it's good on the 3rd day 😆I'll look for it!
Hi Pon 😃
Sake is developing its sales very fast 😅 my fridge and stomach are screaming that the amount of sake released especially at this time of the year is amazing 🤣.
You can still find it online so please give it a try 😊.
Mild and gentle aroma
Good balance of sweetness and acidity ✨
Fades away with a full lingering taste ✨
Sinkingly delicious 😋.
I'd like to try the active nigori version too: ❣️
Personal muddy #1 last year 🎯.
Of course it's a repeat: ❤️
the top of the bottle
Nice muscat aroma!
It's a little bit sweet and a little bit mellow, and then it starts to get sharp and crispy.
The acidity is just right and it's very good as it is!
I think it would sell very well even if it were sold by itself 🤣.
Mix it in
It has more flavor! It has a doburoku-like flavor, but still has a refreshing taste and a nice sharpness, which is great!
Not too bitter and not too astringent, it's so good that I already want to give it the first place after last year 🤣.
Let's drink it too 🍶!
I've tried Yamaoka's premium soy sauce tonkotsu for a limited time only 🍜.
It's a good taste of niboshi (dried sardines) and is delicious ❗️
The lady next to me who was eating spicy miso gave me a service coupon: ❤️
Let's eat this too 🍜.
And get a service ticket from the lady next to me 🤣.
Manachie, good evening ⭐ nigori #1? I drank it last year and I'll try last year's nigori which should be at Tagami again 💕museum-like liquor store✨.
I'll also try to get the lady next door at Yamaoka 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Manachie!
Here it is - Hanaizumi's nigori - I'm making a note of it, but I don't think I'll get it😅.
The korokoro chashu looks delicious too 🤤.
Hi Mamio 😃Gagami, it's funny how even the most popular sake has a front at all 🤣I wonder if that's how they do business 🤣.
Try asking the lady next to you for a service ticket🤣.
Hello Manachy, ☀️
This is out now! I bought it the other day 🙌 I'm looking forward to this year 🥳.
Oh, you mean you got a service ticket because you're handsome ⁉️⁉️
Hi Kotaro 😃Oh, you bought it 😉 Don't worry, it's delicious again this year...
Yes, I got a service ticket because I'm handsome 🤣 (I'm sure I looked like I come here often...)
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 🐥.
Speaking of service coupons...the first time I came in, I forgot to take the two coupons out of the ticket machine 😭I got them from someone else who came in later than me 😔I was so disappointed and the waiter told me to take them 🎫🥺🍜....tears of kindness 🍜.
Good evening, Kotori-san 🌇If you don't know the service coupon system, it will happen 😩😩😩😩.
Let's save up the service coupons and get a T-shirt 🤣 Aim for 50 cups 🤣.
Hi ichiro18, ❗️ this is seriously delicious 😋I see a lot of favorable reviews on Sake no Wa so I'm sure it's good ☝️ I'm wondering if I should buy another bottle 🤣
The mouthfeel is moderately sweet, fragrant, and acidic, and the finish is a little sake-like.
It has a slight sake-like taste at the end of drinking.
It is best served as an aperitif, or with strong flavored or aromatic food.
P.S. If you heat it up and remove a little of the alcohol, it becomes easier to drink, which is what I like now. ☺️
Unfortunately, the BayStars lost, and I was supposed to take a rest day, but I ended up drinking 😅.
Another brand from Hanaizumi in Lo Mang ✨.
Mild aroma, I wonder what this aroma is 🤔 I felt it wasn't fruity. It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a hint of petit gas. It has a strong clear sweet flavor, but it's also very drinkable 🥰The acidity is also very strong, and I don't detect any bitterness, but it's refreshing and tasty ✨.
Second day
It smells of banana and melon. Huh? It's still fruity 🤔Clear sweetness becomes stronger. The acidity is a little sharp and the aftertaste is also bitter. More delicious 😁.
I tried it because it looks good in heated sake in a review by a liquor store,
Warmed to human skin, the sweetness expands!
Lukewarm: The mouthfeel is mild and smooth, with a full-bodied sweetness and a hint of acidity.
Kamikan (warmed up) It is sweet, but also full of acidity.
It has a sweet taste, but the acidity is also very high.
It is a delicious sake with good cost performance, so if you are interested in it, please try it!
Good morning, Hanapin 😃.
After a night, we have a lot of news for the next season and I'm feeling sad and hopeful ✨.
Oh, AKI, you know me so well 😁 I was so fast. The bouncing goal was impressive!
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Sorry to hear about the BayStars 😢 but it's nice to have a local team to be proud of ☺️
I've never had Hanaizumi, but it sounds delicious with an elegant taste 🌸It's the season for heated sake 🍶.
Good morning, Hinahana mama 😃.
I know the time when many players left Yokohama at the bottom of the table every year, so I'm deeply moved that it became a strength to be proud of 😊Hanaizumi-san was crisp and delicious 😊I'm also learning about heated sake 😊.
Hi ichiro18, ☀️
I've been curious about this one, so I'll take a look at your review 😆 The flavor that changes with temperature sounds delicious 🤤.
I'm sure you'll love the nigori that comes out in the winter ✨.
Hello ichiro18😃
BayStars lost 😭
Let's have a drink to celebrate the players and fans 🍶.
It's a delicious heated sake that's perfect for this season when it's getting a little chilly 😋.
Hi Kotaro 😃
I thought it would be more like a classic food wine, but it was unexpectedly delicious 😊 nigori😍I'm seeing a lot of your recommendations so I'm looking forward to a lot of winter drinking list 😁✨.
Hello, Chirsta 😃
We lost, but we were in this position despite many injuries, so yes, I agree! I thought it would be better to drink it cold since it was described as a direct-filling of the vat of raw sake, but it was also good warmed up. I thought it would be better to drink it cold, but it was also delicious warmed up!
Good evening, ichiro18!
On days like this, we should drink 🍶.
I enjoyed the Hatsuroman so much that I was curious about the Hanaizumi, so this will be helpful 😋.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the sake as the days go by and the temperature changes 🤤.
Good evening ma-ki-😃.
It was a varied and tasty drink 😃I, on the other hand, was too drunk to review the Loman after drinking it outside, so if I ever get a chance to drink Loman, I'd like to get my revenge 😁.
