A popular Junmai Nigori (unfiltered) sake from Kyoto, Japan, known for its creamy, "chewy" texture and surprisingly dry finish. It is often recommended as an approachable "starter" nigori due to its balanced profile.

Flavor Profile: Bright and fresh with notes of honeydew melon, raw pumpkin, and radish. Some tasters also note hints of coconut, banana, and a subtle nuttiness.

Texture: Thick, creamy, and full-bodied with a "powdery" or "velvety" mouthfeel from the rice sediment.

Rice: Gohyakumangoku and Gin-Ohmi.
Polishing Ratio: 70% (30% of the grain removed).

Tozai Description

Naming: It is named after "Hanako," a famous Japanese koi fish (the "Flower Maiden") that lived for 226 years in snowy mountain waters.

Serving: Best served chilled (40°F–60°F). You should gently shake or flip the bottle before pouring to redistribute the sediment for a consistent flavor.

Food Pairings: Its creamy sweetness and clean finish make it an ideal match for spicy foods like spicy tuna poke, Japanese curry, or spicy ramen. It also pairs well with pork and vegetable tempura.
