With the Tokyo area declared to be in the blooming season, I couldn't stay away from the announcements, so I pedaled my bicycle to the liquor store and bought Hana Raft first thing!
It was the first time for me to buy Hana Raft, and the fact that I could take a picture with Tasake was too big to pass up. I was so excited!
The aroma is very gorgeous, not showy, but elegant. The brewing water, however, is a little sweet and soft, as is typical of Toyobai. When you taste it, you will find a hint of apple sweetness, a full flavor of Hwaso, and above all, a very pleasant sharpness, and the acidity that goes down your throat will make you fall in love with it.
It is a refreshing and elegant sake that heralds the coming of spring. Lesson learned here, keep the hi-ire Hwaso in the vegetable room and don't let it get too cold. Thank you again for the sake tonight!
