The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival 10
Craft saké rice and agave.
Hanakaze was too popular to sample. The sake brewing season is about to start, so it depends on that.
Sansho Spirits
A very greenish sansho flavor, mixed with the high alcohol content of the spirit. It's best served with soda.
◉Craft gin
A mild but strong gin, not too sharp. Not too sharp.
◉CRAFT Rice and Hops
No hoppiness. Clear and mineral.
TAMESHIOKE: "Rice and twine".
Tastes slightly like mixed juice, very interesting. Easy to drink.
TAMESHIOKE "Rice and Sanae Lemon" (Tasting 16)
Not very lemony, more hoppy.
It was so popular at the Yodobashi event that we couldn't sample it at all, and there were only a few bottles available at this event, so we couldn't sample the Gururiko. I knew that the rice and agave people are great.
We were getting hungry at this point, so we decided to go out for a meal.
We ate at Osaka Chicken Shiranyu Ramen Miyako at Ramen Ichiza on the 9th floor of EDION.

Rice and Grapes, which was the first in a series of experimental sake "test vats" from 2022.
The name comes from the fact that the representative couple, Mr. and Mrs. Okasumi, made "rice and agave" the family crest for their beloved sake and tequila ingredients.
It was given at the event.
Simply the best of the best, with a fruity, grapefruity, hoppy aroma.
It does not feel like sake, but it is a new drink that is not wine.
I feel the potential of craft sake.
A fruity sake base mixed with complex herbal flavors is a new experience for the palate. A very tasty new sake with a complex herbal aroma and flavor.
This is a great sake that shows the new possibilities of combining sake and herbs.
I drank the sake I had planned to drink in the hot summer.
The bitterness and low alcohol content make it an instant hit. Perfect for summer.
It's been a while since I've had manachiri.
