I finally got my hands on a bottle of Hana-Hiyo-Yoku.
My first Hana-Hiyo-Yoku is a Junmai-Ginjo of Miyamanishiki.
Last season, by the time I figured out the shipping routine, the production was finished, and the subsequent first shipment of each month was also untimely, so I was finally able to buy it this season.
I opened the bottle, excited about this long-awaited sake.
When poured into a glass, it had a soft thickening, and the color was a beautiful pale yellow with a glossy sheen. It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma.
The taste is fruity as if it were fruit juice, fresh and juicy. The strong sweetness is combined with a refreshing acidity, making it sweet and sour like pineapple juice. It is exactly as the color of the bottle and label suggests.
It tastes similar to Kameizumi CEL-24, but I think Huayouyoku has a bigger flavor change in the latter half of the bottle. The first taste of HanayoYukyu is sweet and sour with a strong impact, but immediately after that comes the spiciness that is typical of Japanese sake, and it also has a crisp and clean taste.
I have been waiting for this sake for a year and worked hard to get it, so it tastes even better.
It has become one of the brands that I would like to drink if I have a chance in the future.
