Right at the start of the new year, a wonderful sake tasting. First up: Hana-Yōyoku. My first time trying Gohyakumangoku. A gorgeous, fresh aroma. A rich sweetness and deliciousness, just like pineapple.
Since the end of last year, I've been getting half portions of combinations in the same price range, thanks to my young friend indulging my whims. Toyohai and Kaze no Mori are the same price. Next up is the combination of Hana Yōyoku and Écru. THE PREMIUM Hattan Nishiki, 40% polished, unfiltered raw sake—this has been our annual tradition for three years running. Pineapple juice, hooray!🙌🥤🍹
Now that the young one has settled down a bit, we're chatting away, getting excited talking about sake and baseball. Trivia: Alcohol content: 16% Ingredients: Hattan Nishiki Rice polishing ratio: 40%
Refreshing aroma accompanied by sourness ✨
Sweet and sour taste 😋.
Sharp acidity stands out: ⚡️
Refreshing and fresh😄
The oli gives it a little more weight...it's very drinkable 😲.
Yamadanishiki of Hanahayo no-filtered unpasteurized sake.
A little bit good.
It's New Year's Day and my wife's birthday 🎂 is coming up soon,
It was a good timing, so we opened the bottle!
When I opened the lid and poured it into the glass,
the smell of pineapple 🍍, which is typical of Hana-yosu, rises up.
I haven't smelled it for a long time 😁.
I haven't smelled it in a while 😁.
The taste is as gorgeous as ever,
Perfect as a celebration drink👌.
I knew the hana yang was delicious 😋.
Price: ¥3,750 (720ml)
Pre-opening at the Star House.
Yum!
I feel like I haven't had it in a long time,
Sweet, just a hint of acidity, no cloying taste, gorgeous aroma.......
I love the aroma, it's just so good!
The first sake of the new year is Hana-yoso, which I haven't had in a while, and it's also my first PREMIUM! I think I bought it last year when I stopped by the store on a whim. (Looking back, I don't remember why I bought it at that time, but I want to pat myself on the back!)
) This special edition of the gorgeous HANAYO BATH...it will surely be appropriate for the occasion of the celebration.
Lovely ginjo aroma from the aroma. It's gorgeous - but how can you tell from the aroma that it doesn't taste harsh?
This is delicious..! It is just so delicious that my impressions are going to be short... lol
The gorgeous aroma of apple and pineapple is juicy. I enjoy the development of sweetness, umami, and sourness, which let me feel the sweetness, umami, and sourness exactly in order!
The flavor is multi-layered due to the orikara, but you can clearly see that it is originally beautiful.
The sweetness is not too strong, but the aftertaste is relatively clean, not too sharp like the Hana-yosu of the past. It has a good balance.
Above all, the easy-to-understand taste was wonderfully impressive! This is what Huayouyasumi was like when it was good!
This is the new sake Miyamanishiki from Hanayo.
This year, the master forgot to order the new Gohyakumangoku sake, so Miyamanishiki is on the menu first 🤔.
The top aroma is softly sweet with a pineapple 🍍 flavor.
The taste on the palate is mildly sweet with a slight astringency.
It is a stable Pinappo🍍 again this year.
It was delicious. ✨️🍍
To kick off the new sake season for the popular sake brand "Hanayo", a junmai daiginjo is brewed using the new rice "Gohyakumangoku" from Niigata prefecture, polished to 48% rice polishing ratio.
Again, it is wonderful! The aroma is centered around the blooming aroma of many kinds of flowers typical of Hanayo, with a honey-like sweetness, creating an enchanting world of sweetness!
The sharpness of "Gohyakumangoku" is also well incorporated to bring out a light aftertaste.
This seductive sweetness and light aftertaste! Hana-yoso" is truly wonderful!
Rice used: 100% Echigo Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio: 48
Alcohol content: 16%.
Producer: Nanyo Jozo, Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture
The aroma is as strong as ever!
I brought it to a New Year's 🎍 gathering with relatives😊.
It was a very typical bottle 👍.
I couldn't taste the progress after 2 days or so because I drank it all on the first day, but on the first day it was less sweet and had some bitterness. But it was juicy and delicious💕.
I enjoyed it 🙇.
A year-end gift from a Japanese friend.
Drinking with friends in Taiwan.
Japan-Taiwan drinking team, the best ❣️
Echigo Gohyakumangoku, Junmai Daiginjo, Unfiltered Nama-shu.
You can tell the moment you open it, this is a serious bottle.
The rice flavor is strong, but the aftertaste is very smooth and clean.
Pair it with fried food and seaweed and you have a winner.
The speed at which the glass empties is dangerous.
At the end of the year,
Good sake, good friends, and good times.
At Koyama Shoten
Our partner gave us a wonderful request to break the seal of Hana-yosu during the New Year's holiday!
It has a unique hana-yosu-like aroma.
I had an image that it had become more bitter for a while.
but this Huayouyoubou is like a return to before that.
It has a mango-like aroma.
It's not that gorgeous and sparkling, but I think it's close to the sake that people who like sake like.
To be honest, it was so far out of my taste that I sometimes didn't buy it even if it was in the store.
I have the impression that it has changed a lot.
It is a sweet and delicious sake with a rich flavor.
But it is not too rich.
It goes down very smoothly.
My partner is singing in a good mood in the kitchen after drinking Houou Mita and Hanayoukou.
Good evening, Momochi!
Hmph 😁✨✨Your partner in a good mood is so cute 😍.
I guess the hana yang is still delicious to put you in such a good mood 🤤.
It's a different lapel, but I got my first one and I'm looking forward to it more and more 😋.
Hanahayo Hachikan Nishiki
Saitama's No.1 popular sake!
The chance of encountering it is also limited.
But when you can find it, it's time to drink it!
The fresh pineapple 🍍 comes back to life.
It will bring you back to life. ❗️
It's so smooth and easy to drink, you'll finish it in no time 😊.
