Nikko Craft Beer Festa 2023
A young girl from work invited me to this festival!
It's hot every day and I like beer... so I went!
My co-worker's daughter, her husband is a foreigner!
Teenage daughter, a mysterious group of four.
And my hometown is also my hometown, I found sake from Imaichi city lol!
It's very robust and very sake-like.
It's very stable. It was a very hot day, so I had it on the rocks!
It wasn't my favorite...sorry <(_"_)>.
Good evening, Nanoha 😃.
It's been up for the first time in a month 🤗
Festive sounds good 🥵☺️ this hot 🥵 summer would have been beer🍺 out!
I know what you mean about the doshy type in the heat 😅 let's wait for winter 😄.
Good evening, J&N! I didn't post that much~ I had a lot of overtime and it was tough. I was drinking, though. lol Festa is a summer tradition... I had a great time ♡.
Brewed by Katayama Shuzo in Nikko, Tochigi
Harazake Kashiwamori Motoface Unfiltered Nama Sake
Katayama Shuzo is a nice sake brewery.
This sake,
First,
refreshing and fruity.
and then
But soon a deep mellowness comes over you.
And the taste is so rich and thick that it will make you fall in love with it.
It's a very drinkable and addictive sake.
Opened July 28, 2023
Purchased at Tobu Department Store event.
I knew it was good 😋.
I buy it every year, but it's still a stable prime example ^ ^.
Gentle sweetness, rice flavor, full of depth😍.
It's still a good sake no matter how many times I drink it...
It's a great sake to clear your mind, especially when you're feeling sad or uncomfortable. ☺️
When we visited Nikko, we stopped by one of the sake breweries, Katayama Shuzo, where we found a light nigori of daiginjo-genshu (limited to 50 bottles), with sake lees precipitating out.
The bottle looked like a whiskey.
It was a little expensive sake at 5,700 yen for a four-pack.
It had a nice aroma and a tangy, bitter aftertaste.
It was delicious, but
I personally regret that it contains brewer's alcohol.

Purchased at Sunshine event.
Very soft❗️
Gentle sweetness of rice ^ ^ smooth ✨
Really smooth and creamy 🍨.
I just want to drink this straight up, without any nibbles 😆.
When you roll it on your tongue, it has a depth like chocolate or cocoa 🍫... 🍫.
Is this the first Daiginjo I've bought in any way?
Today it will be Kashiwamori.
I received it as a return gift for my brother-in-law's wedding present.
It is a sake from Tochigi prefecture.
I knew the name, but this is my first time to drink it.
When I first took a sip, it was very thick and came with a bang.
It gives a classic impression.
I don't know the rice polishing ratio, but I guess it is about the same as special honjozo.
The alcohol content is 19%, but it is very well-balanced and easy to drink.
It tastes better than I expected, and to be honest, I don't think I would buy this type of sake myself, so thanks to my brother-in-law.
I'm glad that my brother-in-law, who doesn't drink sake at all, went to the trouble of selecting it for me, and that alone makes the sake taste better 😃.

Purchased at Tobu Department Store Funabashi
How about this year's Kashiwamori Hiyayoroshi?
Thick as usual, but dry!
Alcoholic stimulation but quite clear❗️Spicier than usual?
I think this would go well with sashimi or grilled white fish 🐟️.
Enjoy the mellow aroma in your mouth☺️.
We went to Katayama Sake Brewery, a 15-minute walk from Tobu Nikko Station.
The hiyayoroshi was just released.
We enjoyed it right away.
It is recommended as an aperitif or a mid-meal drink.
