From Hanaabi, a brand highly praised for its fruity sake, here's the muroka nama genshu (unfiltered, unpasteurised, undiluted) released from November through March. This is the flagship bottle, made with the Miyamanishiki rice that Nanyo Shuzo handles so well. A tropical-fruit fragrance fills your nose, and a fresh sweetness rushes into your mouth. For this quality, the price is a steal. Don't be afraid to buy the 1.8-litre bottle either — before you know it, it'll be empty.
