I went to the Horoiyoi Festa.
Eighteen breweries from the prefecture participated in the festival, and we were able to compare various kinds of sake!
I participate in this festival every year, and it's a big party as 1,000 people open the venue to toast at the same time.
I will be checking in with my favorite, Jukishin!
On a side note, I think it would be nice to give Jukishin as a Valentine's Day gift with chocolates...!
By the time I had visited all 18 breweries, I was already drunk! They were all delicious.
It was fun!
Hello, BEAT!
Horoiyoi Festa ~ sounds like fun 🎵.
It would be a drunken festa if I went 😁✨.
I don't get a chance to try Ehime's sake very often, so it's fascinating and intriguing 🤤.
1000 people toasting is awesome~!
ma-ki-chan, I got too carried away at last year's HOROFEST and ended up getting drunk, so I did my best to have fun this year. I was too drunk at last year's festival, so I did my best to have fun this year.
Sake made from 100% "Nikomaru" edible rice produced in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture
A name that evokes local love, reminiscent of the city's slogan LOVE SAIJO
The aroma is mildly fruity, sweet but not heavy, with just the right amount of acidity and a fizzy, slightly fizzy sensation.

Slightly effervescent.
It is a little sweet, but the overall balance is good, making it very easy to drink and keep going.
I decided to go with 4 gou because I have a tendency to spill the bubbly sake when I drink it in a bottle with bubbles.
I have had this sake several times. I wondered how to describe this sourness, and when I looked at the keywords of Sake-no-wa, I found "yogurt," which made sense! I was convinced. The sourness tastes like lactic acid bacteria.
Moderate aroma
Soft graininess and strong acidity on the palate. The aftertaste is pungent with alcohol, but it does not linger.
Alcohol content 16.5
Sake strength +2.5
