Hanabi "Fire Flower"

 

Like the brilliant bursts of summer fireworks that light up warm evenings, Hanabi sake captures the essence of carefree childhood summers in every sip. The name "Hanabi" translates to "flower fire" in Japanese—a poetic description of fireworks that perfectly embodies this playful, nostalgic brew.

This unique sake recreates the iconic flavors of the beloved Bomb Pop popsicle, layering bright cherry sweetness with zesty lemon tartness and a whisper of blue raspberry that tingles on the palate. The flavors unfold in waves, just like biting through those tri-colored frozen treats on sweltering summer days.

ABV %15

Tasting Profile:

  • Aroma: Fresh and inviting with bright fruit notes and a hint of floral rice undertones
  • Palate: Smooth and refreshing with vibrant sweet cherry leading into crisp lemon and blue raspberry acidity.
  • Mouthfeel: medium-bodied with a puckering sensation
  • Finish:  Refreshing with lingering sweet fruit flavors that invite another sip

Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed over ice in a chilled glass, allowing the flavors to bloom as the sake slowly dilutes—just like waiting for that perfect Bomb Pop to soften in the summer heat. Garnish with a fresh cherry or lemon twist for an extra touch of nostalgia.

Perfect for backyard barbecues, poolside gatherings, or any moment when you want to recapture the simple joy of summer.
