Purchased at the Takezumi tasting at Icoma Sake Shop.
It wasn't in the tasting, but it was a nigori version of Omachi Nama. It looked rare, so I bought it.
It was a commemorative sake for the 25th anniversary of Omachi's cultivation in Asago City, and there were two different types from different farms. Limited to 299 bottles each.
The price was 2,500 yen, including tax, to coincide with the 25th anniversary.
Apparently Omachi has been registered as a variety in Hyogo Prefecture 🎊.
There were two varieties, but the brewer said this one was sweeter, so we bought this one!
It's light and crisp, sweet and deliciously spicy with a hint of seme. It was not as spicy as I thought it would be 😊.
It feels a little like Okuharima.
I think it gets sweeter after a few days.
I went to the Takezumi tasting at Icoma Sake Shop.
A person from the brewery was there.
We drank
Junmai Ginjo Wadayama Omachi
Polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +6
A low-alcohol summer sake. It's refreshing and easy to drink for a Takezumi. The acidity left a lasting impression.
Junmai Ginjo Omachi, directly from the tank.
Polishing ratio 55%, Sake meter value +5
This is a sake that we have enjoyed in the past and liked a lot. Again, it was delicious with a juicy, sweet, umami, and spicy taste with a strong sense of gas.
Mellow and spicy
Polishing ratio 60%, Fukunohana produced in Izushi, Sake meter value +7
This sake is made from a rare variety of fukunohana (a type of rice grown in Izushi). This sake also has a strong gaseous taste. It is not as spicy as it sounds, and is a little like a spicier version of Omachi Nama.
Kounotori Kimoto-brewed Nama-no-Mazake
Polishing ratio 70%, Hyogo Nishiki produced in Asago City, Sake meter value +8
This sake is made from Hyogo-Nishiki grown by stork farming. It has a robust and satisfying sake quality. Probably good as a heated sake.
After much hesitation, we bought a limited edition of 299 bottles of Omachi Active Nigori, which was not included in the tasting!
2016BY in warmed water.
The color is a light yellow. Mellow rice sweetness spreads, but the sweetness is a bit strong and has a nice sharpness. Well balanced to my liking.
