The wine is matured until it reaches the optimum balance, resulting in a mellow, yet surprisingly refreshing taste.
The brewery specializes in Yamahai sake brewing, which is rare in Miyagi Prefecture. It has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition nine times in a row. This is the fourth highest record in the history of sake breweries.
Kawatakei Shoten was damaged by the recent major earthquake in Kurihara, which has occurred frequently in recent years.
Founded in 1902
It is one of the few breweries in the prefecture that has handed down the old-fashioned traditional method of "Yamahai brewing". Kawana Keiji started brewing sake in 1902 when he moved to Nango-cho (current location), Osaki's largest grain-growing area, in search of his own rice fields.

Melon aroma, a little sweet gasiness, alcohol, acidity and a little astringency with a clear aftertaste.
We enjoyed it with grilled hokke, evening chawesen, and soup.
Muto-ya followed after this.

Sourness is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Slightly heavier and refreshing ✨Peary flavor 🍐. Spicy with mashed sticky squid roe 🦑. It's a good match for the strong flavorful minke whale sashimi 🐋, and it refreshes the palate 👍.

Thanks for your comment, brother😊Tachibanaya may be more major than Koganezawa brand. It was recorded 3 months ago, but I remember it was a whale, mmmm 😋.
During my business trip to Yokohama in April, I was able to stop by Ichiishiya Sake Shop. They mainly carried sake from all over Japan, so I chose a sake that you don't see very often in Shizuoka 😆.
Taste...
Quite noticeably sweet. At room temperature, it is like candy. There is no sourness or bitterness, and it goes down like water. But at the end, it has a sake-like feeling that leaves your nose 😋 The snacks were grilled mackerel with rice malted rice and soba noodles.
It has been a long time since I had a three-day weekend. Tomorrow I will either clean the house or go to Ashigara to visit a sake brewery 🤔...
On my way home from a business trip, I had a drink at a corner bar at Sendai Station and enjoyed it so much that I brought it back home with me.
The sweetness that you can smell just by opening the lid of the bottle.
It has a gorgeous mouthfeel and a firmness that is not just that. It has a smooth texture.
It may be the best I have ever had.
I think the store said it was only available for a limited time.
Omachi!
A typical old-fashioned taste.
While at first it has a sense of being too sweet,
But it is reset by the acidity and bitterness at the end.
Delicious!
