Kura Master 2024 and 2025 1st prize winner in the Junmai-shu category.
The acidity is moderate and delicate! The soda-like taste on the tip of the tongue is immediately followed by the taste of the aroma of wealth.
At the back of the tongue, there is a hint of sourness, and a thin hint of sweetness like Mont Blanc 🤤.
It is easy to drink but has 16% alcohol! It's a dangerous drink😇.
As the day goes on, the depth of flavor develops and the taste of wealthy aroma on the tongue is pleasant 😋.
It makes you feel like you are tasting freshly cooked rice.
It's not so much the deliciousness of the sake, but the deliciousness of the flavor that is intoxicating 🥰.
Here are some more sake from the "SENDAI Sake Fest!" hosted by Sake no Kawashima on May 25th.
Haneya, the last 🪽.
It's called "Kirabi".
This is their signature product 😊.
From the name, I imagined it to be assertive, but I felt the nostalgia that it would go along with various scenes and dishes ✨.

Continuing with Haneya's summer sake✨.
Refreshing 😌.
By the way, the rest of the photos are some more snacks I couldn't resist adding to the menu, lol!
Tai-meshi nigiri is a rice ball with tai rice, which is put in soup stock and loosened! Tai dashi chazuke (tai fish soup)!
Here are some more sake from the "SENDAI Sake Fest!" hosted by Sake no Kawashima on May 25th.
Next up was Haneya, the most exciting sake of the moment 🪽.
I've only had Tsubasa 50, so I took this opportunity to try some more 🙂.
It's like you can drink it gubigubi in summer!
It has a slightly dry taste, but the moderate acidity and the fine flavor of Yamadanishiki are in harmony with the youthful freshness and crispness of the sake.
We enjoyed it with crab cakes!
Sake meter rating: +4 to +5 (slightly dry to dry)
Acidity: 1.2 to 1.5 (standard to slightly high)
The high acidity not only makes the sake spicy, but also gives the sake a strong umami taste of rice and a tight aftertaste, leading to a "graceful and bold" taste.
Haneya "PRISM" Junmai Ginjo Prism Ultimate Shiboritate Holorgram Label Nama-Shu
Rated 4.4
Alcohol content: 16%, Rice polishing ratio: 60
The new sake drips from the vat and is bottled as quickly as possible without filtration.
The juicy, white grape-inspired aroma and the complex interweaving of mellow flavor elements shine like a shining prism of seven colors. On the palate, unfiltered purity spreads gently and softly in the mouth. The mild acidity gently accompanies it, giving the impression that it is even more gorgeous than the usual Haneya, spreading brightly to the heart.
With the year 2025 safely drawing to a close, we enter the year-end and New Year's holidays with lots of drinking and eating!
To start the year off right, we will be serving Haneya's sparkling wine!
It has a beautiful sake quality and a mild yet fruity sweetness.
Of course, it is full of gas, just like champagne.
The aftertaste is relatively dry, so you can enjoy it with gusto.
Now that 2025 is almost here, how much sake can we drink? ......
