Hanaabi from Nanyo Shuzo has become a hard-to-find sake amid its explosive rise in popularity. This bottle uses only sake made from Sake Musashi, a sake-brewing rice from Saitama, polished down to 48%, and pressed by the bin-gakoi method — gathered bottle by bottle. A juicy, tropical aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit, with a restrained sweetness and a clean, refreshing drinkability.
