I was able to buy Hanayosu at the right time.
It is a pure rice Daiginjo unpasteurized sake using Gohyakumangoku.
This is the first time in this year's Hanayosu.
It may be the first time to drink a hanayosu of five million stones.
The aroma is like a pineapple.
It has a slight gasiness and a fresh mouthfeel, due to the fact that it's a direct brew of raw sake.
The taste has a sweetness that is typical of Kanyangbou, with a tropical feel like a pineapple. The bitterness tightens up the aftertaste.
Since it is a five-million stone, I think it is one of the driest of all the hanyou baths. It may be a bit lacking for those who want the mellowness of a hanyou bath, but it's sharp and I thought it was just right for this hot season.
