At the tasting corner of the JR Itami Station Tourist Information Center. It seemed to be a blended sake, so even the tasting size was quite satisfying.
Gentle to drink
Low sweetness
The taste is crisp and clear
It is also very strong in the throat
And it goes down the nose
I think it is good as a food sake
Naturally, it is completely different from Sanyo Sakebai's Sansho.
(Naturally...)
Both are delicious 😋.
But I prefer Old Matsu's sake 😋.
The mouthfeel is light and smooth.
And gentle sweetness and umami
It goes down the throat and through the nose at the same time.
The taste is refreshing and clean.
It seems to go well with Japanese food.
It's quite good.
It was purchased at a brewery located near (about 30 meters?) from Sanyo Sakebai of Banshu Issen. Banshu Ikkyo Sanyo Sake Brewery is located near the Sanyo Sake Brewery.
Brewed with distilled water from the Ibo River.
This is the first time I've tasted distilled water instead of spring water or well water!

Today we are in Itami City!
We had a paid tasting at the Old Pine Sake Brewery.
I asked for two glasses and was surprised at the amount of sake.
The paper cup was filled to the brim. It was amazing!
150 ml per cup.
It was clearly written at the entrance...
I decided to drink it slowly (sweat).
It has a strong umami flavor.
This is what sake is supposed to be like.
It also has a nice lingering aftertaste.
We enjoyed it with a cool breeze!

It is a true sake that shows the hard work of our predecessors in the sake making process 😉.
We will pair it with sukiyaki (garlic 🧄mashimashi) made with white miso for a seasonal change of health. ....it was delicious 😋🍶.
This is the sake for tonight. p
It's a little aged and has a sticky sweetness, but it's soft on the palate, making it easy to drink and delicious.
No, it is a delicious sake.
So, why don't we make a sake club?
It's fun!
I'm sure it will be.
We had a good amount of sake from New Year's.
I was happy to be able to drink this sake, which is rarely seen in the Kanto area.
It is a very refreshing sake with a very smooth aftertaste!
It went well with Osechi.
Purchased at the Laematsu store where I stopped by on my way home from Hatsumode (New Year's visit to a shrine).
It was served with dinner on New Year's Day.
It was spicy and very good to drink.
Too bad I left it at my parents' house without finishing it 😢.
