Hanamachi

◎ Appearance

Hanamachi presents a pale straw yellow color with excellent clarity and brightness. A fine, white head forms readily and disperses with moderate lacing, while the carbonation is visibly lively and persistent throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate white floral notes—jasmine and subtle citrus—followed by a whisper of sweet lemon zest. A light grainy character underpins the bouquet, with a wisp of rice cracker adding textural intrigue and keeping the profile lean and clean.

◐ Taste

The palate is feather-light and exceedingly dry, allowing the rice base to dominate without heaviness. Soft herbal and floral notes echo the aroma, while a hint of tender grain sweetness emerges briefly before the fermentation drives the beer toward a crisp, mineral dryness. Bitterness is restrained at 15 IBU, never aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean, quick, and refreshing, with the dryness lingering pleasantly on the palate. No residual sweetness or heavy aftertaste—the beer disappears with grace and leaves a bright, crisp memory.
