It's still October 🤣.
The event in the local shopping district was unexpectedly crowded 🎶.
Buy some drinks and snacks at the restaurant booths and drink standing up!
I toasted with a soda of Nani no Oto Kabosukiri!
It's refreshing and thirst-quenching 🫧.
The breweries from Shiga were here and had a talk with us!
Ninja's Seko Sake Brewery had a father-son comedy act!
while drinking Ninja's Jungin Unfiltered Nama Sake 😆!
Yoshida Sake Brewery of Takefujima, the president himself sold and poured the sake after the talk â
Fruity and easy to drink ❣️
Other sweet fruity Usuzakura flowers and cats
We also had a lot of tasty snacks such as umaki and meatballs at a reasonable price, which made for a satisfying lunch 😊.
Hi, Pon-chan!
I'm so jealous that you have such an event in your local shopping street! The sake you drank looks delicious and educational 💪I'd like to try my hand at it if I see it... if I see it 🤔.
Hi Pon 😀
I bought some Chikubushima as a souvenir when I landed on Chikubushima in Lake Biwa before, but I don't remember the taste at all because it was a small bottle for souvenir 😅.
I should have bought a bigger bottle 🤣.
Hi Pon 😃.
I'm so jealous that a brewery is coming to a sake event at a local shopping street 🤩.
I would love to drink sake while relaxing in the park 🍶.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I can't get enough of the Shiga Sake lunchtime drinking at a local shopping district event😄.
Sounds interesting and I'm honestly jealous😇.
Good evening, freelancer man of the first generation 🦉.
Thanks to the efforts of breweries, liquor stores, and restaurants working together, I am able to enjoy this event every year 🎶I appreciate being able to relax and drink 😊The sake also has a strong local flavor 😆.
Good evening, Yasube-san 🦉.
It's been a long time since I've been to Takefujima & the specs are different, so I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure it's probably easier to drink now 🤔I'm so glad I was able to revitalize it 🥹.
Hi Hiro, good evening!
My husband was there, so I couldn't walk around freely, but it was a relaxing event with local color, as I could talk with the brewers since I was close to them 😊It was also nice under the blue sky 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan ^ ^ ^
You commented on my post before about Takefujima 😋 It was a little habitual and had a characteristic taste.
I see that Zendo is your hometown. I have been to Gichuji before!
Hi soumacho 🐦.
I'm always ready for battle at events (lol), but this one is so local that I can enjoy it at my leisure 😆 I drank only cold sake, but when it comes to heated sake, the local flavor is even stronger and more unusual 🤭.
Hello, ma-ki-🐦!
I see you've been there! I haven't landed yet 💦I'd like to experience it there 😊.
The music was playing in the 90's and I wondered if many of the customers were from that generation 😆.
Hello ellie🐦.
That's right 🤭You are indeed a history buff ellie, you are very knowledgeable 😊👍✨.
Chikubushima is also very different from the one I had before, it might have been regenerated and changed 🤔.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃I envy you having such a fun event in your hometown! My hometown doesn't have any sake of my choice 😅It's the very season of the event and all of a sudden it's cold and I'm a cold person, I think I'll stay cooped up at home 😅.
Good evening, mariage🦉.
This event was still hot and I was drinking only cold sake which I usually warm up 😊Now the outside event is already cold 😱I was supposed to eat at the food stall the other day but I went inside 🥶 too fast 💦.
Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑱
At this point, there are already 15 minutes left in the broadcast...
Yoshida Sake Brewery and Chikubushima booth.
A former Gekkeikan executive established a sake brewery revitalization company, Yume Sake Brewery Co. to buy Yoshida Sake Brewery, which was in a state of dormancy, and revitalize and re-activate the brewery by putting in place a system.
Tensyu Issen Chikubushima Junmai Ginjo
Fresh and full of flavor. It is fresh and full of flavor, with a slightly chocolaty taste.
◉Hana-arashi Watafune 6 Junmai Daiginjyo Nama-narashu
This is a very mature sake, so I asked if it had been aged for a while. I looked at the label on the back and saw that the first tank was opened in January, so I guess it's a hiyaoroshi-like sake. It has a chocolate-like flavor and a slightly spicy aftertaste.
We had little time left, so we talked a little and moved on...
I bought this local sake from Takashima when I visited Shiga last month.
It was a unique and delicious sake with a strong alcohol taste 🍶.
It would be interesting to warm it up 🤔.
Although it is described as a dark nigori sake, it is very easy to drink, and if you close your eyes when drinking it, you may not even think it is nigori.
