Hana no Ka菊花純米吟醸

The last one is Junmai Ginjo🍶, a 55% polished junmai ginjo with the scent of flowers "Kikka". This one was also hard on the day of opening the bottle, so I left it for a few days. The initial aroma was sweet like banana milk. The first aroma is sweet like banana milk, and the mouthfeel has a gentle sweetness and umami flavor. It is the sweetest and most delicious of all the Umezakura Kiku (the cheapest). （This may be the cheapest one. To be honest, all three were not so good on the day of opening, but I was surprised at how they opened up after the second day. This Kikka in particular turned me on. I wonder if this one is fire-brewed since there seems to be a separate nama-shu. I'd like to try each of them 🤔. The third one is probably the old Hana-no-Kou label. I would love to buy a honjozo with a label like this if it existed 😊. The fourth picture is the statue of Dan Takuma at Shin-Omuta station of Kyushu Shinkansen line, where I got off the bus connecting to Omuta station on my way back from Hananoka. (You've all learned about this in your compulsory education, so I'll skip the explanation.) It took about 15 to 20 minutes by cab to Hananoka from here.

Next, Hana no Kaori "Sakurabana" 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo🍶. This one also felt a bit stiff on the day of opening, so we decided to wait a few days. The initial aroma was sweet with a hint of wooden vat. In the mouth, there is a gentle sweetness with a hint of umami. It also seems to be very smooth and clean. It was a well-balanced daiginjo. It was delicious 🍶✨. The third picture shows the store attached to the brewery. There was a bottle of Yamada Nishiki Ninonjo on the shelf, but I preferred the Hozu so I passed it up 😌.

Hi Matsuchiyo😊 Hana no Kaori is now sold only in Kumamoto prefecture, so I envy you buying in bulk! I bought some Sakurabana the other day. It's even better if you wait a few days 😳I drank it right away last time so I'll wait next time👍.

There is more to the sake from the Fukuoka trip that I posted at length last month. On the last day, we visited the Hananoka Sake Brewery in Wasui Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, on the border with Fukuoka. This is a comparison of the Hana-no-Ka "Umehana", "Sakurahana", and "Kikuhana" sakes that I bought there as souvenirs. I was late because I had to prioritize the sake I bought first 😅. First up was the Hana-no-Kou "Umehana" 35% polished Junmai Daiginjo🍶. On the day of opening the bottle, it felt a bit hard, so we decided to wait for 2 days. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity like green ume fruit. The palate has a beautiful sweetness with a hint of elegant acidity. It is a very smooth and clean taste. There is also a gorgeous sweet aroma. As expected of a 35% polished sake, it is very elegant. It was delicious 🍶✨. The third picture is the main building of Hananoka. There is an exhibition space with tools used in the past and a peek-a-boo window to see the inside of the brewery. I also had a chance to sample some of the brewery's products. Also, there was a tasting room, so I drank a variety of sake 🍶. Thanks to the lady for all the help 😆.

Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😃. I see you went to the flower corridor at Hananoka Sake Brewery: ☺️ I'm jealous because it's a place I've always dreamed of visiting someday too 😄. I haven't had Hana-no-Kaori yet, so this was helpful 😊.

Jive-san was drinking a very tasty Hakugakusen, but I'm drinking spring sake right now 🙄. By the way, I failed to buy the crimson raw sake 🥲. I had it cold 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. It has a slightly sweet aroma on the nose and a slight carbonation in the mouth. It has a refreshing sweetness with a hint of sourness. It has a similar feeling to the same spring sake we had last week, Mimuro Sugi Hana Kyun. After I bought it, I noticed that the rice used for the sake was Gin-no-sato instead of Gohyakumangoku. I guess the feeling changes when the rice is changed. My preference is Gohyakumangoku, but this one was pretty good too 🍶✨.

It is a new brand of Maruishi Brewery, famous for its ni rabbit. The first aroma is faintly sweet. When you take it into your mouth, you will taste umami and sweetness with a deep, mild acidity. It has a lingering mild umami taste, and it finishes gradually. The mild acidity of the sake is accented by the mellow acidity of the sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.

The off-the-menu Huayouyu Miyamanishiki was open, so I ordered it 🍶. I had told the master that I had avoided Huahiyo-yoku before because I had heard it was bitter, so he advised me that "customers who drank it today said it was bitter😌", but I did not feel any bitterness with the Bizen Omachi and Ginpu, so I decided to drink it anyway. The initial aroma was sweet with a moderate pineapple 🍍 feeling. In the mouth, there is a smooth sweet flavor with a slight acidity. The pinappo🍍 feeling is also moderate. It finishes with a slight astringency. There was a slight astringency typical of Miyamanishiki, but I did not detect any bitterness. Is it bitter from the orikara or nigori that I haven't drank yet? 🤔 It was delicious 🍶✨

It's already been a month since the cherry blossoms in Tokyo 🌸 have fallen. I'm drinking Hana-kun right now😅. Let's start with the supernatant. The top aroma is slightly peach and berry. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the sweet and sour carbonation. It's not that sweet, like a canned chu-hai "Horoyoi". When you mix in the cork, you can smell the sweet aroma of koji malt. When you put it in your mouth, it is not dry, but it is moderately sweet. The balance of sweet, sour, and spicy that everyone can enjoy is just like Mimuro Sugi. I would like to drink it again next year as a juice. It was delicious 🌸.

I was having a drink at my favorite bar last night when I saw bouken's post about Pon-chan, and a familiar tanuki was the newest addition to the bar. I was going to take the first picture and post it saying "I had a long-awaited sakidake with Pon-chan 😆" but alas 😔. I had it cold 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet? It has a slight sweetness of fully fermented type and amino acid taste on the palate. It's so sharp 😅. I was so distracted by Pon-chan that I forgot to take a picture of the well-known back label, but it was delicious 🍶✨. The second photo is the main house of Mitsui no Kotobuki, which I visited on a recent trip to Fukuoka. It is located in the middle of a peaceful countryside. The brewery is only open for tours during events, and there is no store or tastings, so unfortunately I just looked around and that was it 😌.

Peco-san said he wanted to try Okuharima's sakaboshibori, which was available at the liquor store where we usually go to buy Chochin, so I had a glass to see what it was like 🍶. The first aroma was slightly sweet with a full-bodied flavor. In the mouth, there is a slight sourness typical of Okuharima, but it is gentle and elegant with a rich and delicious sweetness that reminds me of wasanbon (a type of rice cake). If you leave this open for a few days, it will become even sweeter and more delicious. When Okuharima makes daiginjo, it is elegant but full of flavor. It was delicious 🍶✨

I used the wine term "minerality," but the sake here has a hardness of 149 mg/kg and is made with subsoil water that has passed through the limestone of Mount Chichibu. I also feel that Chiba's Iwano-i, which has a hardness of 240, is a little different. Maybe it's just my imagination... 🙄. It was delicious 🍶✨
