Hana-no-Ko Umehana Morning Press Nama-nazake.
The long-awaited Sansho Shinenkai (Sacred Land God Party)!
I arrived in Kumamoto for two days and one night for this sake brewery festival organized by the Hananoka Sake Brewery.
There were three types of sake to be tasted at the event: the standard Yamadanishiki Ninonozo, the Hananoka Umehana Morning Pressing, and a limited edition mixed brew of Kago and Yamadanishiki.
The second cup was the morning pressing of Hana no Koka Umehana.
It was freshly pressed the day before for this divine banquet!
The fresh flavor was enhanced with a fruity, muscat-like topping aroma!
