From Saku-no-Hana, one of my favorites, this sake is made with high-productivity malic acid yeast (Nagano yeast P43-14).
On the first day, it was sweet, sour, and fruity, with a slightly low alcohol content that made it easy to drink and enjoy. On the second day, the sourness decreased and the sweetness became deeper.

The color gives a sense of maturity! Delicious with an old sake character that doesn't disappoint!
Lovely aroma and taste!
I'd like to pair it with a richer dish, but it's a shame that it's finished off with a fluffy omelette in dashi broth!
It's too good both chilled and heated!
Good, but too strong 🤤.
The second bottle of Sakunohana, a sake that won a gold medal at the National New Sake Competition, was recommended to me by the store owner.
This is Sakunoka, a repeat customer!
Both spec'd and Urasaku were delicious, so I raised my expectations too high 😆.
This summer's Daiginjo was another Sakunohana with a different atmosphere.
The mouthfeel is soft.
Not very floral, but fruity? It is more like a grain type sweetness. The acidity is low.
The second half is a little alcoholic.
See label.
Brewer's alcohol😃.
Not a problem at all, it tastes great, but even for Sakunohana this tasted a little different ☺.
Purchased at the Tsuruya Komoro store
I couldn't find the exact same item even though I searched the web to see if it was a Tsuruya original.
Immediately after opening and drinking it, I had a strong impression of sweetness, but when I drank the rest 4 days later, I didn't feel much sweetness and it was light and dry with a sense of alcohol and bitterness. I don't know if the taste changed, or if I perceived it differently, or both.

Purchased at a liquor store in Komi
If you look closely, it's the back, I noticed after I drank it.
It has a sharp, dry mouthfeel with a touch of minerality.
I thought it was very clear and thick, probably because it was a summer sake, but it was 18 degrees Celsius.
It's also good on the rocks.
I finished it before I tried it💦.
I was on a trip to Nagano Prefecture, so I stopped by the Sakunohana brewery and found a store next door that sold it, so I bought it.
The first of three bottles, it was clear and refreshing, but not my favorite.
On this day, we opened a bottle of Urasaku with the label turned inside out.
There is not much of an upfront aroma, and the sweetness on the palate is moderate and refreshing!
It was just right for a hot and humid day.
