The label of this sake looks like "Moyashimon" with dancing microorganisms. The New Year's Day was over in a flash, and we opened the bottle to cheer up as we start work tomorrow. The bottle was filled with carbon dioxide gas.
Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery was founded in the Meiji era (1868-1912) and is located in the northern part of Kumamoto Prefecture. According to the "Late Night Sake Review 50" by Ms. Seiko Yamauchi, a sake master of my heart, the passionate master brewer who took over the brewery 10 years ago, like Sharaku and Hirotogawa, has made great efforts to make it one of Kumamoto's representative breweries. Hana-no-Kou" is a Kyushu-only brand, while "San-do" is a brand for the whole country. They are also working with local farmers to produce sake rice, and this Sundo also bears the words "rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin in Kumamoto Prefecture.
The taste of Sundo, a slightly sparkling ogara-mi sake, is impressive with a refreshing sweet-sour lactic acidity and a slight bitterness like hops, reminding me personally of a craft saké I once drank from haccoba (Fukushima), "Mizu wo nakuimu". It is a swishy type, so if you are not careful, it will be gone soon.
