Sake in Review : 花 雪洞 Hana Bonbori

July 25th, 2010

Today’s entry is Hana Bonbori (Flower Lantern) which is a Diaginjyo produced in Niigata, Japan.   First sip of this sake was very smooth up front but ended with a minor tail.   This a dry, very earthy sake with lots wood tones.   Slightly acidic without detracting from the smoothness.   I did not think the taste justified the expense.  Nonetheless it was an interesting sake.
