Finally got to buy it from the brewery in January, finally got to drink it, Hanayo-Yoku!
The aroma is just as you said, similar to pineapple! This characteristic fruit aroma helps make it easy to drink. It's no exaggeration to say that this aroma accounts for half of the real pleasure of this sake.
The taste is a sweet and savory type with a strong caproic acidity, but surprisingly it is not too sweet and not too syrupy. Of course, it's not dry, but it's a clean sake with little miscellaneous flavors, so it's more refreshing than I expected. As a sake toast, it couldn't be better.
If you're not a fan of sake, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this as an introduction. If you don't like it after drinking this, the last thing you want is a sweet and sour type.
We prepared a bottle for a home party, and it was very well received.
