Akita Sake
Hanamaru Miso Nishiki Nama Sake
Hanamura does not ship seasonal nigori or hiyaoroshi sake like other sake breweries, but instead offers a variety of different types of sake, mainly based on the rice used to make the sake. Last year I missed out on the Yamadanishiki Junmai Daiginjo, so this year I want to try all the varieties.
The first sake rice this year is Misato Nishiki. It is a rice from Akita.
The characteristics of Misato Nishiki are described as "a round, fruity aroma with a pungent aftertaste that pulls the whole thing together and balances it out.
This Hanayuup Miso Nishiki also has a superb sweet flavor, followed by a fine acidity. Compared to Hanayuyuu Omachi, the sweetness is mellow and the acidity is strong. The refinement that is typical of Hanamup is the best.
I really like Hanayuup after all!
Degree of liking 10/10
