Kyoto Takashimaya Japanese Sake Festival - Extra
Kyoto Honey Sake Brewery booth at The Mead, Kyoto.
Although not sake, we tasted a mead, said to be the world's oldest sake, which had been discussed in the Sake-no-Kansai group the day before.
◉The MEAD
The aroma is sweet and delicious. The sweet honey is in full bloom.
◉The MEAD Osaka Sakura
Made with Osaka cherry blossom honey, the aroma is gorgeous and you can feel the honey itself. The aroma is gorgeous and you can feel the honey itself! I was so surprised that I squealed. This was my favorite.
◉The MEAD Kyoto
This one is darker and woodier, but still honey. But it's still honey.
I had a taste of Amataka's honey wine once, which was like a German ice wine, and I thought it was really good. It seems that they also make Tengu Mai. I also heard that Kyuzo-san also drank a mead made by a brewery in Shiga Prefecture. Maybe there will be a honey wine boom in the near future?
And so, the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival has come to an end. I apologize for the long and continuous post.
