Crackers are excellent to balance the lightness and simplicity of junmai ginjo sake. For sake ware, we recommend glasses or cups that enhance the sake’s fruity aroma.

I'm not sure about depth of terroir or umami, but this sure was pleasant to drink. I would call if "easy drinking" if that weren't a derogative term.

Smooth and floral. If sipped slowly there’s very little bite from the alcohol. It feels rounded even if you linger on the flavors. It’s a heavier sweet floral than something like cherry blossom candy, but it’s very pleasant.

This was very mild and pleasant to drink - it tasted like herbal water - and had little to no alcoholic bite. Perfect for beginners.

Hana Kizakura is a delightful sake with notes of cherry blossoms, and a very smooth finish. I drink this, in place of wine, after a long day, or to slowly sip, while outside, as the scents of early summer enhance this lovely and affordable sake.

The Hana has an incredibly mild flavor.. It's so smooth it's like drinking herbal water. It was pleasant, even gentle, but I prefer the sweet plum sakes more. The price was not outlandish for what you get.
