Drinking Gifu's Local Sake 2024 in Osaka ⑥.
Hanazakari" booth.
The brand name is "Hanazakari" and the brewer is Hanamori Shuzo, which is a bit of a twist.
This is also a brand I had never seen before.
Hanazakari Junmai Daiginjo 39 Shizuku, bag suspension, natural drip.
It is made with Yamadanishiki. It has a strong umami at the beginning and a clean aftertaste. It is very polished, but the fact that it has this much umami is nice and tasty. It has a bit of spiciness at the end.
Hanazakari Junmai Daiginjo 50 Shizuku, bag suspension, natural hanging.
It is also dark and sweet from the beginning, sweeter than the 39th. It is dark but tastes good without any bitterness. It has a bitter aftertaste.
Hanazakari Junmai Omachi Shizuku Fukuro-hozuri Shizen Hashidari
It has the Omachi-like umami that I imagined, and the sweetness is just right. This is my favorite of the day so far. Omachi is a high quality rice, so even if it is 60% polished, it is bag-husked.
Junmai Ginjo standard and above are all bag-husked, which takes a lot of time and effort, and the taste is clear and free from any other flavors.

Hello Nemuchi-san!
I asked the liquor store that was at the event if they would have Omachi in stock since they were handling it 😅. I asked him if he would get Omachi, but he said it's hard to get it because we always sell out and he didn't have any other Omachi 😅.

Good evening, bouken🌛I see you also carry this sake 😳I had a pretty good impression of it when I tried it, but it's not very popular except for Omachi 😅I guess liquor stores have a lot of work to do with their customers 💦.
