OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 (¡Ω) It is somewhat fragrant, rich and dry, but very smooth. Is it because of the softness of the water? It is very drinkable, but it also has a light feeling. I once had a local man explain to me at the opening of a sake brewery in Kinkame that Shiga's sake was developed in order to eat the stinky food in Lake Biwa! He once emphasized this to me! Yes, Shiga's sake is wonderful, but that's a lot of self-deprecation! By "stinky", do you mean funazushi? I think it's good!

Good evening, Shinjou-san 🌙 So that's what Shiga sake is 😳‼️ I've never heard of it before 😆 Maybe that's why there are quite a lot of strong tasting sake 🤔.

Good evening. I think the food from Lake Biwa has an influence on the taste of Shiga. I like smelly food, so I also like Shiga sake.

Very, very clean. However, it is dark by national standards. Chikubu Island has a more punchy image. It's like a city girl who appeared on the island. Lovely.

Clear and dry, with little richness. It is a type of wine that is easy to drink.

It seems to be a raw sake. The taste! And yet, the drinkability matches the umami. It is a good brew.

. . The moment I opened the package, bam! and the cork popped. (^^) It was a strong taste. Today was Father's Day, so I opened the bottle, I was a little confused as to what stance to take with it, as it had a very complex taste, with the richness of nigori sake, slight bubbles, and a bit of sourness. It was just okay. With eel!

Today we have a cup of Takefujima sake. I was surprised to see a lot of Takefujima sake at a passing roadside station. I was just watching the news about Gekkeikan alumni revitalizing the brewery, and I am sorry I could only bring home a small one, but I bought a cup of sake. It is light brown in color and has a slightly caramelized aroma. First at room temperature. The alcohol and mild caramelized aroma is released into the nose. It is dry and tight. The taste is vague, but lighter than before. When heated, it is dry but has a caramelized rice flavor. Maybe I should go to Chikubushima after a long absence.

Today is Takefujima. It's been a while since I've been camping in Shiga Prefecture, so I decided to go with a local sake. It is a small brewery in Makino town, northwest of Lake Biwa, and I was curious about it because I had heard that they had recently done M&A and were trying to revive their business. It was nice to take a picture with Chikubu Island in the background ^ ^. This time, it was a raw honjozo sake. It has a gusto of old-fashioned sake flavor, acidity, and the delicious taste of rice. Makino Town has many campgrounds, but it was also a fishing town in the olden days, so people like sake with a strong flavor. My father used to like to drink it. We talked about the old days over a bonfire and enjoyed the local sake while looking out at Lake Biwa. The sound of the waves on Lake Biwa was louder than I had expected.

Hi Hirupeko, good evening 🌙 I like the camp sake⤴️⤴️I've never been to Chikubu Island even though I'm in Shiga😭Great scenery✨I'm really glad this brewery is able to keep going. I haven't had a drink in a while either😊.

Good evening, Pon-chan. Chikubujima is a place you see but rarely visit. If you see Chikubushima, please have a drink.

The brewery I stopped by was sold out! I got it at a local liquor store. It is refreshing and easy to drink. They use a local sake rice called Ginbukiyo. It seems to be brewed seriously.

I bought this because I thought it was unusual that the specs were more sweet with Tamayo. It's definitely sweet, but is it an off-flavor? It's a very uncomfortable flavor. It's like rubbery. I wonder if the smell of the rubber from the yabuta was transferred? I don't think this kind of smell is usually found in sake. I wrote "rubber", but it also feels like disinfectant. It's a shame, because I had high hopes for it, because the regular sake Shiboritate was delicious...

I bought it with Hanahou's four-pack, but I should've got Hanahato Kijoushu Nigori Namaishu or Shinsei.

A rare one that we got at the brewery😎. It has a wonderful aroma, sweetness, and a crisp aftertaste that only aged sake can provide! I warmed it with both hands and sipped it carefully.

Umai Umai-san, old sake? Aged sake? I haven't learned enough to step foot in there yet 😅I can imagine there must be a depth of flavor, but I'd love to get to that level one day😊.
