It's like a highly refined Wind Forest.
Not as mellow as melon or banana, but fresh and light, with a pronounced sweetness and acidity reminiscent of muscat.
Not very Kaze no Mori-like, but it is my personal favorite.

The taste is light and refreshing with a sweet and acidic center, reminiscent of the refreshing fruity taste typical of Nagano sake, but with a mature and calm flavor.
A very high quality autumn sake.

At this price point, I'm not sure when to open it, but maybe I've laid it down too long...?
Like the Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Nao Kumi released in May, it has a rich, mellow sweet taste with a pronounced pineapple flavor!
Compared to the Junmai Ginjo, I have the impression that the aftertaste is a little less bitter and a little more nicely rounded.
It is very tasty, but I don't think the difference in price is as great as the difference in taste.
I'll have another Hanahayo next season...

The taste is impressive after "Mokke Bodai Hashiwake" and "Rohafu".
Juicy sweetness and umami that is typical of Mimuro cedar!
Whether it is because of the omachi, hiyaoroshi, or both, it has a particularly strong sweet flavor, but with a grape-like acidity and a very light and refreshing aftertaste!
The beautiful Mimuro cedar and Oumachi are a perfect match!

Strong and thick mouthfeel, typical of Omachi, as is typical of autumn sake.
It has a heavy taste with a sense of grain.
This is the kind of sake I would like to drink with a well-flavored meal.
I think I've come to think that this kind of sake is also delicious.

I guess I'm gradually getting used to craft saké, so there's nothing particularly new or impressive about it...
Delicious, but
The acidity and the heaviness that may have come from the rice are a little too strong...
I'm not sure if the level is a little too high for me to understand the wildness...

Muscat-like freshness, sweetness and acidity.
A freshness that is hard to believe it is hi-ire
Sophisticated taste that is typical of Junmai Daiginjo.
The taste is so good that even at this price, it is considered inexpensive.

Mmmm producing soil, too complex.
The aroma is mild, but fresh and melon-like.
The mouthfeel is fizzy, and after the chili chili feeling is gone, what emerges is a unique and deep flavor that can be felt only in San-do, which is both spicy and woody.
This taste is so complex and intertwined with several elements that it is impossible to describe. It is a taste that leaves one at a loss for vocabulary!

The wine has a freshness that is hard to believe it is fire-roasted, and just the right amount of sweetness and acidity.
The depth of flavor that can be enjoyed on its own, but with a pleasant aftertaste that can be paired with any meal.
Mimuro cedar always amazes me!

I was a little prepared for this sake because it is a "nama-hashiroshi" aged sake, but it has a beautifully concentrated flavor with a calm sweetness and light acidity, as is typical of Nagano and Kinmon-nishiki.
The aroma is gorgeous, like apples or white peaches. This is Junmai Daiginjo!

Mild aroma
Soft on the palate, with a strong spread of umami.
There is little sweetness, but the moderate acidity brings it all together, and the mild umami acidity continues through to the finish.
A bottle that stands out for its well-balanced taste, just like a food sake.

A mellow, umami-kuchi sake quality that is new to Kouei Kiku.
The sweetness is quite strong and robust.
Yet, it is not too heavy, and the freshness typical of nama-zake brings this strong sweetness together nicely.
The lactic acidity and the bitterness that tightens the aftertaste are also good accents.

Compared to the normal Abe+, the sweet and tasty acidity is more pronounced, and the acidity is particularly strong, with an aroma like ripe grapes.
Its atmosphere is somewhat similar to that of Yonotori.
There is absolutely no hint of a tangy taste. This may be due to the combination of Hashira shochu brewing and high refining.
The sweetness and umami are cut off quickly in the aftertaste, and the acidity remains pleasantly smooth.

I happened to be able to purchase a bottle of Yonotori that had been aged for about a year, so I opened the bottle before it was ready to drink!
The aroma was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was surprisingly subdued, with a little graininess typical of sake, and a heavy aroma reminiscent of a mellow dry sake.
The first impact on the palate is a purple grape-like acidity typical of Shinsei.
Once swallowed, it has a fleeting aftertaste, but upon closer inspection, it has a fine balance of sweetness and acidity in a thickened, honey-like texture.
At the end, you can also taste a crisp, pleasant bitterness and astringency, perhaps from the wooden vat...

A strong sweetness, but not too heavy and transparent.
Calm and beautiful sake that disappears peacefully while retaining its umami flavor.

Refreshing and gorgeous mouthfeel
It has a floral, Aizan-like flavor, but it is more like Kaze-no-mori than a floral, Aizan-like flavor.
The sweetness is not that strong, with a slight sweetness and acidity that lasts for a long time, followed by the minerality that is typical of hard water.
Naturally, it has a light aftertaste and is, well, dense!

It has a soft taste with a firm sweet and umami flavor, but it is much lighter than other Toyobai jungin.
The umami taste lingers in the aftertaste, but it disappears gently and is not heavy at all.
The overall quality of the sake is quite beautiful, as is typical of the Shizukutori variety.
The aroma is peachy.
There is no label on the bottle, but some people on social networking sites say it is a pure sake, but I wonder if that is true.
There is a very slight sense of effervescence.

It has a modern sweetness typical of Miyakanbai, but also has a well-balanced flavor typical of autumn sake.
However, it has a light sweet taste.
The overall impression is refreshingly sour and fruity, with a light and refreshing taste from the first sip to the last.
If anything, it is a fresh hiyaoroshi.

While it has the freshness of a nama-shu, the sweetness is quite strong on the palate.
Combined with the umami, the fullness typical of Omachi is well expressed.
The aftertaste, however, is not heavy and light.
The mild acidity also serves as an accent, supporting the overall balance.
However, I think I have seen FLYING BIRD at a certain sacred place, but is it no longer limited to restaurants?

Despite the simplicity of the local sake on the label, it is a modern, elegant, light, dry sake.
The strong acidity is a nice accent, but the base of the sake has a strong rice flavor typical of the Tohoku region.
