Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2023⑰.
Kawashima Sake Brewery / "Pine Blossom" Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture
Founded in 1865.
Uses spring water from the traditional "kabata culture" of Harie, selected as one of the 100 best waters of the Heisei era.
The unique brewer, whom I had talked to at Abeno Kintetsu, was again available to help me.
He told me that the name of the brewery is Kawashima Shuzo, but it was acquired by a different industry in the tea industry through M&A or something.
I think it is "Kitagawa Hanbei Shoten", a long-established tea wholesaler in Kyoto, as the current representative is now Mr. Naoki Kitagawa. I don't know 🤣.
The image is reversed from the impression I tasted before.
Matsu-no-Hana Unfiltered Junmai Nama-Nagara Sake.
It is very rich in flavor and delicious.
Matsu-no-Hana Unfiltered Ginjo Nama-Nagarazake
It is crisp, dry, and refreshing.
I used to think Junmai was classical and Ginjo was modern, but now I have a different image 🤔...
I guess I got used to it this time, the brewer didn't seem so peculiar to me 😁.
OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023(*)
It is a solid junmai sake with a good graininess and a well-rounded, accented acidity!
Matsu-no-hana has a very good regular sake, and I wanted to try a junmai sake as well, and I got it!
It did not disappoint!
The outdoor setting and reasonable temperatures brought the sake served cold closer to room temperature, which broadened my enjoyment of the sake!
I would have liked to drink it heated, but that would have been a shame!
Shinjou, every time ❗️
You have been drinking outside vigorously lately👍
Drinking sake under the blue sky must taste exceptional ❓
It's a little too hot 🥵and 😆.
Every time.
I can't drink indoors yet because I'm afraid of the new colo, but I try to attend outside events.
I like drinking outside very much.
This time, I did indeed look for a shade and had a drink.
I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔.
Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well.
After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.
I visited the Hankyu Department Store to see what Nemuchi-san had said before.
However, the warehouse staff was talking with customers all the time😅.
Sales clerk? A sales clerk or a clerk at a department store? I tasted a ginjo and a junmai from this brewery.
I thought the Junmai had more flavor, but the Ginjo had a more modern taste, as Nemuchi had mentioned before, so I bought the Ginjo.
Usually, when I talk with other customers, many of them say "Thank you" when I buy something! but I didn't go through with it and kept talking to the same person 🤣.
Maybe he is kind of peculiar?
Good morning, bouken 😃.
It's not the alcohol that's peculiar, it's the brewer😳⁉️ if the brewer is peculiar, the alcohol seems peculiar too... 🙄 strange that it's peculiar yet modern... 🤔
Good evening T.KISO 😃.
The sake wasn't peculiar 😁.
I think there are many peculiar brewers and toji all over the country 🤣I would like to meet them or not 🤣🤣.
Hi bouken 😊was it my favorite kuseyaku kurabito? 🤣I still remember that kurabito 😆 I think the ginjo tasted different from the label impression and was delicious 😋.
Hello Nemuchi 😀
I wanted to talk to the brewer you mentioned, but he was talking to a customer the whole time so I couldn't confirm 😅This junmai was good, but I bought the ginjo that left a lasting impression 😊.
Honjozo sake, the most delicious combination.
The high alcohol content of this 19% sake makes the alcohol that rises in the air during this season intoxicating.
It is very easy to drink, with a slight spiciness and well-balanced sweetness and mildness, but at 19 degrees, gulping it down is (for me) risky and dangerous. Very tasty and addictive.
This is the 512th one-cup, one-pack festival.
We visited a sake brewery in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, and bought a bottle of Junmai Sake after comparing the two. The sake is brewed using spring water from one of the 100 best springs in Japan. The sake, including the Junmai Daiginjo, is basically dry with a touch of acidity. It tastes better warmed than cold.
