Purchased at the Yamagata Antenna Shop in Ginza. A modest and subtle ginjo aroma. Slightly aromatic, yet smooth and firm sweetness. It is light, but has a deep flavor with a firm body. I paired it with saikyo-yaki Spanish mackerel.

It is characterized by a calm ginjo aroma reminiscent of fruit and a refreshing mouthfeel. It has a sweet and slightly tangy taste. Serve with grilled sweetfish with salt and pickled wild vegetables

Sweet but robust? I also like the aroma that comes through to the nose.

☀️ I went to the Yamagata Sake Fair 🤗. It's raining unfortunately ☔️ Rain outdoors is a pain in the ass😅. First, let's start with Hanabayo. ◾️Hanabayo Clean, sweet, slightly bitter, but easily swallowed and tasty without any peculiarities. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Daiginjo Sweet and smooth on the tongue 😋. The sake seems to float fluffy on the tongue. It has a rich aroma and fills you up with just sake 😊. ◾️ Hanabayo Kinu Junmai Daiginjo This one is also sweet and smooth. The same fluffy tongue on the tongue. It has little fragrance, but there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste and fullness in the flavor. I could tell the difference between Junmai and Alten 🤗. Both are worthy of a beautiful sake 🥰.
