It has an aroma of apples and melon, and when you drink it, you can feel its refreshing and umami flavor, and it has a nice sharpness that goes well with food.
I didn't know you could drink Hana Yuu! It has a nice aroma, is softly sweet, and disappears quickly in the aftertaste. It is best when paired with shirako ponzu.
It is like a sake with a strong rice flavor. Goes well with shrimp miso and meat miso. If paired with light dishes, the dishes will be overpowered. It would also go well with foods with strong aroma, such as salted fish and pickled ginger. It would be more enjoyable if you choose the right accompaniments.
Immediately after opening, it is softly sweet and tasty with a piquant acidity. After drinking, there is a hint of a pineapple-like aroma. The aftertaste lingers. I couldn't help but drink a whole bottle.
I was told that this sake is meant to be heated, so I decided to try it both cold and warm.
The cold sake feels a little tense on the tongue, with a sweetness from the rice, but not too sweet, and a hint of bitterness at the end.
When it's warmed up, it has a mild texture and the sweetness and aroma of the rice spread out, with a bit of sourness at the end.
If you warm it up, the sweetness is not as strong. Personally, I enjoyed it lukewarm or on the skin.
I paired it with rube and cream cheese and scallop sashimi, but I thought the saltiness of the rube went better with it.
It has a nice fruity scent, acidity typical of namaishu, and a sweet, spreading, lingering feeling. It goes well with light dishes. We enjoyed it with rape blossoms with spicy sauce and fried tofu.
Very fruity aroma. In the mouth, it is smooth at first and the sweetness and richness of the rice spreads. The sweetness and aroma lingers in the mouth after drinking it, and it is very delicious. You can enjoy it without an appetizer.
Maybe it was because it was a mouth opener, but I felt Mr. Schwarzenegger, and I felt the soft sweetness fill my mouth for a long time afterwards. She's gone. Tastes even better than the Genmai I've ever had!
