Souvenir from my partner who traveled to Hyogo Prefecture
He said it tastes great cold or heated, so we opened the bottle and had it cold.
It was indeed a little spicy, with the flavor of rice spreading through the bottle.
Delicious!
As the name suggests, it would go well with sea bream sashimi or something similar as a side dish.
I wonder if it would go well with Japanese food.
Next time I'll drink it lukewarm 🍶.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023" ⑱
Akashi Sake Brewing Company "Akashi Tai" Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture
Producing sake since 1960.
Expanding markets throughout Europe, including England and France.
Deliveries to high-class department stores, starred restaurants, and round-the-world cruise ships.
Mr. Bouken told us that it is rare because it is mainly exported, so we tasted it.
The brewery staff recommended that we start with this one first.
Akashi-tai Special Honjozo Genshu.
A classic sake with an alcoholic taste. It was quite harsh in my opinion.
Akashi-tai Special Junmai
Another classic sake, but it is more than fine.
Akashi-tai Daiginjo-genshu
Daiginjo-style sake is more gorgeous and less classical, and is very tasty.
Forgot to take a picture 💦.
Akashidai Ginjo Umeshu Shiraume
This plum wine is also very rich and extremely tasty.
Forgot to take a picture💦.
It's been a while since I had a pure classical sake like Japanese sake.
Good evening, Nemuchi!

Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛Thank you for the off-line meeting 🙇Sakeelan found the restaurant for the after-party in the end 😊Thank you too, for always taking care of everything 🙏.
We had a tasting at HYOGO SAKE EXPO Kobe Hankyu. It was a pity that there were not many customers on a weekday. The brewer explained that their name is known overseas like Otters. The tasting of Kasumitsuru was closed. We moved on to the Eaton's Corner and enjoyed sushi from Uoki. I forgot the rest (...;)

HYOGO SAKE EXPO2023 (2)
Akashi sea bream, which is mainly exported and not often seen in Hyogo Prefecture.
We tasted the following
Special Honjozo
Special honjozo sake
Special Junmai
Daiginjo-genshu
Junmai Daiginjo-genshu
Ginjo-yuzu sake
Ginjo-Umeshu Shiraume
I tried to drink as I was told, starting from the end.
The Special Honjozo to Special Junmai are classic and spicy.
If I had to buy it for the price, I would probably go for the special honjozo sake. I think so, but...
Daiginjo-genshu and junmai-daiginjo-genshu are beautiful and gorgeous.
Well, I think that the raw sake I bought at a brewery on the Okura Coast before was also a classic type of sake.
Personally, I enjoyed the plum wine the most 😅.
According to the brewer, people in Wakayama drank it and praised it highly.
It's very sweet, rich and tasty.
Extremely tart with a strong Yuzu flavour. Serve chilled in small measures, this Akashidai Ginjo is very refreshing. I’ve tasted it mixed with tonic in some UK bars; though this diluted a memorable sake to its detriment.
Milky in the glass and the bottle. Clear sediment lines visible. Not a subtle drink because of the strong Yuzu flavour.
Made by preserving plums in the finest sake for 18 months or more. Sweet, yet balanced - served best chilled as a digestive. If you’re tired of port wine- try this Umeshu.
