The one he said he went to the brewery today and bought was Taiyo Shuzo's here.
The rice is Nojoho and the alcohol content is 19%.
It has a strong and wild taste, but I personally like it better than Takejaku's sake yeast which I drank at the Sake-1 Grand Prix!
It's quite heavy, so it's not easy to drink 😅.
It can be enjoyed cold, warmed up, or with soda, etc.
People who like Raku no se and Asahi Wakamatsu will like it.
I also had a bottle of Tarekuchi Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-Ginjo (raw sake), which I've already had in the past.
It too has a strong, powerful flavor. I told them that it tasted sweeter than the ones I've had in the past, and they said that this brewery uses wild yeast and doesn't have a koji room, so the taste may be a bit blurred. I was told that this brewery uses wild yeast and has no koji room, so the taste may be a bit blurred 😳.
Some of you may know this brewery, but there are a lot of episodes here, so if you are interested, please google it 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo😃.
I searched the name of the person who was the president of the consultancy and it seems he is still in the liquor industry 😡.

This article suggests that Suminoi Sake Brewery, Fuji Takasago Sake Brewery, and Chiyogiku are also receiving support.
I don't care about the support, but the way they are doing it is disgusting.
This may happen partly because it is a regulated industry that does not allow new entrants, but on the other hand, deregulation may lead to an increase in the number of long-established businesses that go out of business.
I see that Chiyogiku is a subsidiary of Morita (Sony's Morita's family), a Nagoya-based company under the listed JFLA Holdings, Inc.
Fuji-Takasago was recently sold, according to the wiki.
The history is complicated, and it seems like they are repeatedly buying and selling within the affiliated companies 🤔.
A-Sakura, Fuji Takasago, and Ginban were originally owned by the current presidents of Tenka, Shihu, and Hohanami.
This is my first time at Taiyo.
I had it cold 🍶.
The first aroma is sweet with a sense of maturity.
In the mouth, it feels like Shaoxing sake for a moment, but it has a full-bodied sweetness and a robust umami flavor.
I guess it is like a full-bodied sweet and tasty Shaoxing wine with very few peculiarities.
I am sorry that the analogy is not easy to understand.
It was delicious 🍶.

Purchased at the brewery. It tastes rough and strong at the core, and you can feel its power. I want to buy other brands, too.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Today, we revisited a tasting at Taiyo Shuzo, which became a favorite of ours after visiting last year. We tasted three different kinds of sake with tasty snacks, plus one more secret sake, and took home a "tarekuchi". Looking forward to drinking it tomorrow!

This 19° draft sake was in fighting mode when it opened, probably because it had only been in the brewery for a short time.
When we heated it up, it rounded out and we decided to let it sit for a while.
After a week, it was ready to drink cold, so I enjoyed it alternating between the youthfulness of cold sake and the robust flavor of lukewarm sake.
If you only look at the label, you would not buy it yourself! I would not buy it by myself!
But this is it! Punchy and slightly citrusy. 19 degrees is not felt, but the volatility derived from alu is pleasant.
