It was a long time ago that I had my first drink of Hanabake. The first one was a very dry and very active muddy called Splash. It was an interesting sake that tasted great with curry.
The last time I drank it was probably 2 or 3 years ago. I think it was a mizu-hashiroku nigori sake at that time. It was delicious with kimchi nabe.
This time, while looking for a dry sake, the manager recommended it to me and I bought it because it was sweet but tasty.
It was sweet and sour! It has a strong body with 17% alcohol by volume, and the bitterness comes and goes at the end.
It is quite easy to understand and delicious! Each of the flavors and specs are unique, so if served blind, the percentage of correct answers is likely to be quite high.
Some people may be put off by the fact that it is 17 degrees, but I recommend it. Hopefully, I would like to try a 12% version of this sake, and I hope that they will continue to serve this sake as it is.
