マルI told the owner my preference for sweet and juicy, and he recommended HANABE🌸.
I really wanted to drink fizzy, so I chose SPLASH🫧, ignoring the owner's look that said, "No, drink the regular one first!" I chose the SPLASH🫧, ignoring the owner's look that said "No, drink the regular one first!
I chilled it well, so opening the bottle was a piece of cake.
First, the supernatant.
It has a robust acidity typical of Yamahai, and a refreshing citrusy taste 😊.
Mixing in the lees increases the sweetness, which is good👍.
On the second day, the acidity settles down and more sweetness is felt, and the lemoniness of the first day changes to sweet and sour like sweet summer 🤩.
Yum 😋.
The entrées were salmon yukke and amaebi no namero (sweet shrimp).
Both of them are hard to stop drinking 😆.
The sweet shrimp nameko was a big hit with the kids who said, "Don't do anything weird, let's have it as sashimi! The kids were not very happy with it 😅.

マルHi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
J & N, did you also drink Hanabama 😊.
It's a SPLASH with plenty of lees🫧 mildly bitter and perfect for you two who don't like sweet 👍.
You have to drink it!

マルHi Rafa, good evening 🌘.
The first day it was very sour, but after the second day it was good 😊.
I like to cook with the best of them 😆.
I think the strong miso taste was not good for my kids 😂.
I always fight with my kids for salmon yukke 🤣.

マルThanks for your comment here too, Pon 😊.
Hanaboe, it's delicious, isn't it? I want to drink the others too 😋.
It's fun to think of snacks that go well with sake 🥰.

ヤスベェGood morning, Maru 😀
We are planning to start a spring & nigori sake drinking contest this weekend and this sake is on standby😇.
I'm looking forward to tasting sweet summer 😀.
I'll get the nameko from somewhere else 🤣.

マルHi Yasubeyesan, ☁️
I'm always looking forward to Yasbaye's sake comparison, as there are always a lot of extravagant sake on offer 😊.
The first day was lemon, so the second day is my recommendation: ☝️
