Hananomai “Junmai Ginjo”
Shizuoka Prefecture

Each sip is a smile
An enlivening draft-like sake with fresh flavor, due in part to it being pasteurized only once. The creamy, vanilla taste is accompanied by an almost popcorn hint. The slight sweetness compliments the dryness like a laugh does a smile, and you’ll definitely be smiling after enjoying a sip of Hananomai. Light enough for beginners, but nuanced enough for experts.CHARACTERISTICS
