Hanayo純米吟醸 出羽燦々
Kab
The only sake brewery in the Mogami region and the oldest in Yamagata Prefecture.
Sake that is rarely served outside of the prefecture.
Cold sake is recommended.
It has a fresh fruity aroma with a fairly modern apple flavor.
When you drink it, there is a slight citrus sweetness at first, followed by a rather strong bitterness, which turns into spiciness and finishes with a sharp taste.
The fruity aroma is sharp, but not sweet, which is one of the typical characteristics of Yamagata.
It is light and has a strong bitterness on its own, but when paired with food, it is just right and will accept a variety of snacks.
Cheese and edamame are good.
In terms of other specifications, Silk is a bit expensive, which takes away from the normal purchase price, but the rice Koshihikari Tsuyahime may have more flavor.
