A beautiful junmai sake with a modern edge.
Great with caprese.
I paired it with cucumber, small tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with olive oil.
The regular sake and special honjozo seemed to excel in warming up.
The Ango Sakaguchi exhibition was nice.
After leaving the festival in Sake Forest, I had a gathering with friends today. I was the organizer, so I chose the restaurant of my choice.
But before that, I went to a department store to shop and sample some things. I should also advertise Hankyu Department Store...

Hankyu Department Store Event
October 29-November 4, 2025 (1)
Koshino-Kanchubai booth.
A kurajin-san was at the booth. He was not at the Abeno Harukas event, but we had a short conversation.
Junmai Ginjo
A light and dry sake with a refreshing aftertaste. Sake meter +2 or so.
◉Kojunmai-Yamaguchi Junmai-Shu
This is a standard umami-guchi sake. It has a nice, authentic umami taste. It seems to be a popular product.
N-888 PREMIUM Nama sake
Juicy, fruity and slightly chocolatey, it seems to have been made about a year ago and is naturally aged for one year. It was delicious.
I told him about the Chosan series of stickers at the end of the picture, he said they were sold out and gave me a sticker 😁.
Good evening, Ponchan, I'm sorry you can't go this time 🌜️ 😓It's an irregular event where the breweries that come change, so I'm planning to attend for Sawa Masamune, but I can only go on the last day so I'm afraid it may be sold out 😅.
After work.
This sake is made by Niigata Meikozo, known for N-888 and Chojamori.
I had it at room temperature, and it was a perfect drink for a meal with a light and dry taste, which is typical of Niigata. 🙆♂️
