Ryoseki Shuzo's "Hanayu Junmai Ginjo Omachi Hi-ire

Hanamura is a sake created through a technical exchange from President Takagi of Takagi Shuzo, famous for its popular Yamagata Prefecture brand "Jyushiyo.
The extremely high quality of the sake has attracted much attention.
The aroma is reminiscent of ripe fruits such as melon and mango, and the taste is full, thick, and rich, typical of Omachi rice.

Rikuwada, the rice used to make this sake, was a variety I had never heard of before.
Upon research, I found out that it is a rare sake rice bred by Mr. Takagi, the brewer of "Jyushidai" and that there are only a few farmers who grow it and its quantity is very small.
Furthermore, according to online information, only Hana Yuu is currently using this rice, which piqued my interest, so I made a reservation and purchased it.
It was smooth (somewhere between smooth and smooth), sweet (-4.9 sake on the sake store's page I looked at), and had a rich umami flavor that I really liked.
Upon closer inspection, I was also surprised to see that it was junmai, not junmai ginjo. It had a beautiful texture with no cloying or roughness,
I also thought it was wonderful that it had a nice sharp aftertaste despite being sweet and umami.
I'm in a resting state due to fever 😷.
The temperature has calmed down from 39℃ yesterday to 37℃ today, so I can now afford to touch my phone.
This time it's Sake Mirai from Hanamup!
This is delicious!
It has a light, pleasant sweetness with a clean aftertaste!
Good evening, Mr. Washomaru Suisan.
I see you have a fever💦.
I'm glad to hear that your fever has gone down a bit🍀.
Wishing you a speedy recovery✨.
Hanamaru's sake future is delicious 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-chan. ☺️
I am so sorry that I could not do anything during the Bon Festival 😔.
I have to take care of myself because I can't enjoy drinking if I'm not in good physical condition!
At a senior's house.
I thought it was gentler and clearer and sweeter than the Omachi I had the other day.
Both were delicious but I think I prefer this one😊.
Long time no. 4 bottle of Hana Yuu 😆 discovered.
Elegant, gorgeously sweet and juicy 🤤.
Love the label too 👍.
I wish they sell more of their other lineup in #4 bottles 😗.
Hi Hitto🐦.
I see you've been drinking this one 😊Hana eup, it really tastes good no matter which one you drink 😆.
I'd love to have a four-pack 🥹I ask for one every time I meet the brewery staff at an event 🤭.
Hi Pon 😃
All of your hana eups are delicious 🌸
If I can get my hands on bottle #4 again, I'd love to do a floral collaboration with Nara's "Hanabomoe" 😁.

The top aroma is sweet and juicy muscat.
The texture is slightly thickened.
In the mouth, it explodes in the order of rich sweetness and umami.
The acidity, bitterness, and alcohol taste follow this in a well-balanced and light manner. The sweetness and umami lasts until the end, but the bitter alcohol acidity that comes in the middle decrescendos the sweetness and umami, leaving a lingering, mild aftertaste.
This is delicious. It is best when drunk slowly on its own. But it also has a sense of balance, so it can be served with food as well.
Dangerous alcohol that I found out about 2 years ago!
Hanamup, if I see a four-pack I'll buy it 🫡.
Everything from the aroma is so gentle, the sweetness and umami is irresistible 😋!
It's so good! I have nothing to say about it because it's so good!
The third one is a tree frog 🐸 that has been living in the killifish pot at the entrance since July.
I'm curious about it every day and check it again and again: ☺️
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke!
Hanamup's Rikuwada is delicious 😋.
The sweet flavor sinks in 🤗.
I've been afraid of frogs since I was little for some reason💦.
Hello, Bousuke 😃.
Nothing to say 😆.
Meanwhile, I will report soon, but there is also a creature that is staying in our house as well, and I check it every day 😄.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 🦉.
I have nothing to say about HANA-UUP! I drank Omachi, but I wanted Rikuwada too 🥹.
How are you doing, Mr.🐸? They come to our house every year too 🐸I check every day as well 😆 This year they even have a bed of bullfrogs 🤣.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I have nothing to say about flower eup 🫡Omachi is also waiting for you 🫡.
Mr. 🐸, I went AWOL but I'm back now 🐸.
Pon-chan, is your house a bullfrog 😳that's some heavy bass background music 😁.
Good evening, Akemi!
I may have indeed learned about Rikuwada from Hana Yuu😲.
It's a delicious sake 😋.
It's a good time to enjoy a cup of sake while relaxing and taking your time 🤗.
🍶🤓.
I bought a new glass specifically for sake, and my first memorable drink was "Hanamup" ✨.
The aroma is not strong.
I thought it would be more sweet, but the alcohol taste comes first.
The sweetness comes to the fore when you drink it while eating 👌.
It has a modern taste, but you can still taste the sake 🤗.
6 days after opening the bottle✨
More sweetness and ama ama 🤗
First time to try Hana Yuu's Omachi.
Fruity and sweet, but refreshing and easy to drink.
The sweetness spreads to the aftertaste.
Is the lingering sweetness a characteristic of Omachi?
It's easy to drink with a hint of gas.
Good evening, Shou-san!
Hanamup's Omachi is delicious 😋.
Maybe it's because you drink Hanamup with different rice that you can feel the different impact of each sake 🎵.
Sake is an interesting and delicious drink 🤗.
