It is said to be the standard brewery's best sake. Is it similar to Katsuma? It is a good sake as a food sake, with a strong rice flavor and a gentle acidity. We had it with jakoten (fish cake). It was delicious!

The aroma is refreshing and plain with aromas of cooked rice, dried fish and cucumber. In the mouth, it is fresh and light, with the smell of rice cake. Medium finish. Not typical.
Pairs well with shredded squid and buns.

The sashimi is delicious: sea bream, squid, and yellowtail.
Yakitori is not skewered.
I heard that the workers at the shipyard used to grill the yakitori on a griddle in order to eat it as soon as possible.

This is another unknown sake brewery, Yukijaku Sake Brewery.
It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a 38% rice polishing ratio and unfiltered.
According to the official website, there are two types of sake: hi-ire and nama, but the one I drank was probably hi-ire.
I think it was fruity and quite sweet 🤔.
Forgot to take notes💦.
Moderately sweet and refreshing
Enjoy it cold on a hot day like today!

Hanaheizakura Junmai Sake
First time in Shikoku, we had a dinner with our distributor in Ehime ✨Let's drink some local sake...so we started with this one.
With eel, puffer fish, and other appetizers... The sweetness of the rice is fully expressed in the first attack, and while it is mellow, it is cut off by the spiciness that comes later! Good as a food sake. 🙆♀️
OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑩
I spend quite a lot of tickets at the Yomiuri Shimbun booth. They begin to realize that expensive sake can be drunk here for 200 yen.
Chiyonokame Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. was supported by Kubo Kogyo Corporation, a tree construction company, in 1995, and management rights were transferred to the company.
The long-aged frozen sake [Ginga Tetsudo] was made by this brewery😳I had had that one in the past, and it was very expensive, but I got the impression that it had a big impact.
Chiyonokame Hime-shu.
The description said it was fruity and slightly sweet. Unfortunately, it wasn't very cold, and I thought it might have been better if it had been cooler, as it had a sweet and refreshing impact.
Ehime Sakurahime Yeast", an original floral yeast for sake, was newly developed through an industry-academia-government collaboration.
It was also delicious, and I really like the label 💕.

Moved to the Yomiuri Shimbun booth. They had a collection of sake from breweries all over Japan. There were many sakes that I had never heard of 😳.
Chiyonokame is a sake brewery that is a member of the Meimon Sake Association, but is rarely seen. (The name has now been changed to Chiyonokame Sake Brewery.
Here is another sake using Sakurahime yeast!
Polishing ratio 45%.
Ehizake is a word for Ehime sake and is a registered trademark of this brewery.
I think it was sweeter and more to my liking than the rabbit ballerina I just had. I forgot to take notes💦.
You can't buy it at this booth, but I checked and it's priced at 3300 yen for a 4-pack.
