I let it sit for quite a while.
From the start, the rice explodes with sweetness.
It still has a bit of a "shwashuwa" feeling.
In the second half, it becomes lighter and lighter, which is exactly the nigori-nari of Hana-hato.
Today, the third kind. This time, it flew from Hokkaido to Hiroshima!
This one again has a sweet rice flavor and aroma, followed by just the right amount of spiciness.
It is a very good junmai sake!

I had the impression that Hana-Hato was known for its kijo sake, but junmai sake is also good. Well-balanced, full-bodied, with good rice flavor.

Junmai-shu by Hana-hato, famous for its kijo sake.
It has a clean, dry taste with the full flavor of rice.
It has a crisp aftertaste and is very easy to drink.
It is a perfect sake for a mealtime drink.
Sweet!
Mild and quite firm sweetness
Smells and tastes like amazake!
The aftertaste is refreshing for a moment? But the lingering sweetness lingers in the aftertaste.
It is quite a robust drink!
Served with grilled pork chops
It goes well with the fat of the pork, as if it is washed away smoothly.
Tastes just the way I like it!

The aroma seems to hit me hard 😵.
Amber in color and seems to have a strong alcohol content🫨.
In the mouth it has a ripe apricot-like sweetness, supported by a moderate acidity 😚.
It is more sweet and sour taste than amber 😊.
Sweet and fruity
Accompaniments.
fried burdock root, pumpkin croquette
fried potato with miso, cheese
It goes well with all of them.
Sake alone is also delicious.
At Kanno Sake Shop in Asahi Ward
Less than 2,000 yen
Sake from Enoki Shuzo, a pioneer of kijozo sake
When I visited Hiroshima, I was introduced to this sake at a izakaya in a train station and purchased a bottle after tasting it.
It has an elegant aroma and a mildly sweet taste, just like kijozo sake.
Not too sweet, not too harsh, easy to drink and delicious!
The color was a little brownish.
I like ★★★★★
