Enjoying delicious sake with the brewer 2025②.
Katano Sakura's booth.
Yamano Sake Brewery, which is always a great help to us. Here we were served by Touji Hamada. The brewer was just at Takashimaya, and the president of the company was at a heated sake event in Kobe.
◉Katanozakura Theory02 (direct pumping ver.) Nama-shu
Kijo sake. Mild sweetness, not strong sweetness. The base is dry. This is delicious. It is good warmed up, the acidity comes forward and the sweetness is a little suppressed.
◉Katano-zakura, pure rice with a fresh yeast base, Hi-iri, Harazake, Aizan
Bitter-sweet but with a good amount of rice flavor.
◉Fukuro-hozuri shizuku Nakakumi-non-filtered sake
Sake with a serial number. The taste is full and full-bodied with a deliciously bitter aftertaste. It has a deliciously bitter aftertaste. I can't believe it was 3 years ago when I last drank it.

As one would expect from a well-known izakaya, the customers around us ordered sake such as Jyushiyo, Jikin, Kuroryu, and Isojiman one after another, but this was the first time I tried Osaka's Kata no Sakura. It was a delicious sake with a good balance of elegant aroma, sweetness, and lingering acidity.
Hiyadori (grated sake) strengthening month has started! Summer is not over yet, but ignore the sense of the season!
Jacket price.......4/10
The transparent bottle with a sticker label is designed for summer sake.
Ki ... 9/20
The hue is transparent from the outside, so I can't imagine "mellow taste".
When you drink it, it is... what? It is light, and although there is a sense of Alc on the tongue, it lacks umami.
Sei... 10/20
The aroma smells like a souvenir....
Turning... 10/20
The roundness of the texture and the Alc sensation due to the sense of maturity are acceptable, but the sublimation smell is too much Alc sensation, which makes me want to relegate it to the refreshing side.
Yui ... 10/20
It is a type that leaves a lingering aftertaste due to the burning from the Alc. It leaves some sugar water feeling on the tongue, but the Alc feeling that resonates in the brain leaves a souvenir-like impression.
COSPA ... 4/10
The taste is unsatisfactory.
The taste and sublimation smell are similar to hiyaoroshi, but the overall impression of summer sake cannot be wiped out.
