Cornerstone Fest 2025."
I bought it because they were bottling it at the event site 😏 It's a keg of sake sold by weight at Sandesi 🤗.
I put it in my bag and when I got home, the label became henna-henna. I'm going to peel it off and store it, so oh well 🆗.
After drinking a bit, I realized I didn't take a picture and rushed to take one 😅.
It's sake 🍶.
The scent of cedar has soaked in well 🌲.
I must have let it sit for 3-4 days 🤔.
It has a clean, thin sweetness and a clear throat 😙.
This kind of dry barrel sake goes well with a variety of dishes 😊.
The brewer came to the Hanshin Department Store in Nishinomiya and we tasted and bought a variety. It was hard to narrow it down to one bottle since I had a tasting event coming up 💦.
According to the brewer, the sake is usually watered down, but this time it was unfiltered, raw and unpasteurized.
Fruity, juicy, sweet and delicious. A little gassy. I like the lingering sourness at the end.
And dry at the end.
Maybe the best Oyama sake I've ever had 🤔.
☀️
Here's a comparison of the Maruka Oyama 🤗.
They say the right and left are squeezed on different days, the left is 5 days after the right 🧐.
So here is the drinking comparison 😁.
Right.
Alcohol is 13 degrees.
It has a strong sweet taste, but it is refreshing. It has no alcohol taste.
Left
The alcohol content is 18 degrees.
It has a light sweetness. There is a slight alcohol taste. The refreshing feeling remains the same.
The sugar must have fermented into alcohol in 5 days, but the change in 5 days was more than I expected 🧐.
It was a very informative drinking comparison 🤗.
One week after the first day of spring.
Calm at opening.
4.5/5.0 Young and refreshing!
As always, the balance of slight acidity, good sweetness and fullness is great.
I enjoy it freshly pressed every year.
I recommend the first pressing in Risshun.
Gathering with acquaintances after a long time.
We ordered sake instead of all-you-can-drink sake.
Daisen Jusui Special Junmai
I guess this sake is also from the Meimon Shukai.
The top aroma is sweet and fruity.
It has a full-bodied umami with a strong presence and a sweetness that is not overpowering.
Like the Harushika we drank earlier, it has a rich umami taste, but the sweetness may be less than that of Harushika.
This is also my favorite type.

I'll ride the big wave of Risshun 🌊🏄.
...but the boom has already passed and the waves are small 😭
Well, don't worry about it and open the bottle 🍶.
The first thing that hits you is the strong acidity 😙.
Then, a strong crackle, which makes your tongue chatter 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧.
As expected of a freshly opened Risshun morning pressing 🍶.
The sweetness is moderate, but it is very sweet.
The sweetness is light, so it goes down your throat nicely 🤩.
It is fresh and clean like a lime 🍋🟩 😙.
I had the impression that Oyama was sweeter, but not quite 🤔.
I wonder if this is the difficulty of the Risshun morning pressing, where the pressing day is fixed 🧐.
I imagine that the flavor can hardly be controlled at the unrefined stage 💭.
Good morning, Hiro-san!
I see that a liquor store in Tokyo is selling Oyama's Risshun ✨I wonder if there is some kind of connection 🧐.
The taste of the uncontrolled and locked-in Risshun day is also very special 😆.
Good morning, Hiro!
You are on the quintessential additional wave~ 🏄♂️
I just barely? I rode the small wave 🤣.
I didn't know that the sake is called "Risshun Asa Shibori" - there are so many different kinds of sake, and sake really has an interesting history 😊.
Hello Kotaro😄
He is a friendly father and talked a lot with me on my first visit. I didn't ask him why Oyama was coming in, but he said he went to Yamagata on the 3rd to help out, so maybe he has a pipe 🤗.
Hi ma-ki-😄
Luckily, I was able to ride the extra wave too 🌊.
All brands of Risshun Asa Shibori run out fast 😅I didn't make a reservation in advance, but I was able to buy a 4-pack just in time 😄.
Hi chika😄
I heard "they sell them there on the 4th" so I dashed over there and was able to buy one just in time 😅.
It's one because I didn't have a reservation. Next year I will make a proper reservation before the wave comes 😆.
Hi Hiro 🐦.
Big waves, small waves, you've ridden them all and it's a stone's throw 😊👍I love the overwhelming freshness of it all♪
I haven't even gone to get it yet even though it's a good luck charm 😂.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌙
I was quite distracted but managed to ride the wave 😁.
The power word "overwhelmingly fresh" is exactly right ✨.
Let's go get it right away 💨💨💨!
