100% Nagano sake brewing rice
Alcohol 16%.
Polishing ratio 59
Melon-like aroma
Crisp and dry with a sweet top note.
It also has a lot of volume.
Good to drink!
It has a muscat-like aroma, sweet flavor and bitterness that spreads and finishes with a kick. It was a very delicious sake that could be enjoyed alone or with a meal 😊.
Store where purchased
It was not available at the Saku-no-Hana Sake Brewery store, so I went to a nearby store.
We bought it at the nearby Sakeho-Shimizuya Sakuhira store ☺️ which has a large selection of Nagano's local sake and a very nice atmosphere 💕We hope to go there again 🥰.
Place to buy 🍶: Sake Shop Shimizuya Sakuhira, Nagano, Japan
The label is a reversal of the character for Saku no Hana, meaning that it is a sake to be drunk during the season behind the brewing of sake.
Refreshing aroma and acidity, gorgeous and fresh summer sake.
This sake is good👍.
Second bottle of Nagano sake after narai🍶.
This one is also made with Kinmon-nishiki.
Polishing ratio 49%.
Alcohol level 16
100% Kanamonishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
It is fruity and juicy like an apple 😊.
This is ㊗️ first time and Saku no Hana. I finally got it. ❗️ It was high on my list of sake to drink.
Purchased online at Yamakawa Sake Shop.
It is a junmai ginjo made by polishing up to 59% "Hitogochi" from Nagano Prefecture. It is a well-balanced sake with a gorgeous aroma, fruity but crisp. A fresh and beautiful sake.
Chiri-Techin, konnichiwa!
Congratulations on your first Sakunohana 🎉!
I'm jealous because it's one of the top sake I've always wanted to drink but never met 🤤.
I want to drink fresh and beautiful sake someday 🤗.
Hello, Chiri and Tecchin 🤗
Congratulations on finally getting a batch of Sakunohana ㊗️ 🎉!
We only had our first drink over 3 years ago, but I think it was the same one 🤔 beautiful sake 🍶I forgot it so I have to try it again 😅.
Saku Sightseeing Part 2
After purchasing Kame-no-umi, we went to Usuda station and walked a little to Saku-no-Hana Sake Brewery. I bought this sake, which was recommended as a refreshing sake in this hot season!
The rice used was Hitogokochi, and the yeast was Nagano D yeast.
The aroma is fruity, with a hint of melon or muscat. It has a slightly chili pepper flavor with a sweet mouthfeel! However, the bitterness and acidity in the latter half of the bottle make it easy to drink without feeling too sweet. ✨️
I enjoyed it because it is a sake that can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake.
Chikuma River flows nearby, and on the other side of the river is a strange rocket-shaped observatory 🚀.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma.
The gasiness is quite strong. The balance of the delicious acidity and bitterness is slightly bitter. Fresh, with a balance of sweetness and bitterness and a slightly higher alcohol content, it also has a dry feel. 😋😋😋😋
Sweetness and spiciness are medium.
It is a sake that goes well with strong flavored dishes.
2950 yen without tax

Oh no!
I'm in Nagano starting Monday. It's off-season right now, or maybe last minute, but I was able to secure a room with my favorite mattress at my favorite inn at a great price: ✌️
So, there are no people at the usual standing bar 😔I heard that there are not many customers on Mondays, and the owner says that he can't get tired after a day off, so I wonder if he might be closed on Mondays too. I was worried that Monday might be closed as well...
I was hoping to find some of Yamazan's Junmai Daiginjo Aizan left, but I heard it was gone in an instant, so I had the freshly brewed Saku no Hana Aizan. The spiciness comes first, followed by a bit of sweetness from the Aizan, and soon the bitterness arrives. It is strong! It is very drinkable and delicious.
I found a Kinmon-nishiki that was not on the menu, so I asked if I could try it. I asked and was given a 🙆♀️ to compare. This one is strong from the start! Almost no sweetness! But this one was delicious too, and I wondered if I should be so happy after the first two cups 😁.
Yamasan had Yamadanishiki, which everyone has been drinking recently, so I tried it. It was refreshing and my mouth felt like it was back to normal😊.
I thought about drinking at the hotel, but I'm glad I came out.
