The second bottle was a Minamishimabara sake given to me by an acquaintance.
This may be my first time to have a sake pressed by Hanegi 🤔.
It was a classic type of sake with a yellowish tinge, with a strong rice flavor, yet mellow and delicious 🍶.
5 points Moo - too sweet and sticky. A little bit of a tangy taste. The taste of honey is nice! I like the taste of honey! I think there is a little bit of a tangy taste...but after the second day, there is no tangy taste and a slight lactic acid taste. Well-balanced and great!
Sampled this at a festival of young breweries (mostly). Out of the 10 I tried, this one stood out the most so I bought a bottle to go. It was both complex and crisp. Would definitely buy it (and a few more) in a heartbeat if I encountered it again. One to remember. Well named.

Slightly floral melon-like top
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, a moderate sweetness, and the umami of rice spread with a soft acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol.
The dryness of the alcohol gives this sake a good sharpness in spite of its aroma, giving it a classical impression in the latter half of the bottle. It is more suitable as a mid-meal drink than as a stand-alone sake.
It went well with grilled sea bream, various sashimi, simmered pork, simmered sea bream, fried fish, and other dishes made by my wife's brother.
This is a brand new to us.
This sake is made by a method called "Hanegi Shibori," which is rare in Japan. It is a new brand conceived by the son of the toji (the fifth generation of Yoshidaya).
It has a soft sweet aroma. When you drink it, the sweetness of the rice slowly fades away, giving it a rich, mellow flavor. It has a classic flavor, but it also has a slightly modern feel due to the fact that it is made with Oshiroibana yeast.
Good evening, Gula-san😄
Oh, I've never heard of or seen Nagasaki sake 🍶😳Mellow, rich and classic, I'm curious 🤔The amount of alcohol I drink is far below what I've ever had in this world 🤣.
Good morning, Mr. Gura.
I thought it was distributed in Nagasaki Prefecture, but I see you can buy Mansho in Fukuoka as well: ❗️
I drank one last year that used oshiroibana yeast, but I'm wondering how it has changed with the new brand 💡.
Hi Aladdin! I was completely unaware of it and found it at a liquor store I go to regularly. It's a classic type of sake, but I think it's easy to drink without being too heavy. I will continue to try new drinks that I don't know about!
