I saw the sake degree -32 and put it down once but tried it. It was a sake with 17% alcohol and I felt the richness of the sake. It went well with meat rolls and gochujang.
First time drinking Takacho
The same Bodaiyuan as Kaze no Mori, but this one is not temperature-controlled.
It has a thick sweet taste, just as it was made in the Muromachi period (1336-1573),
It is very easy to drink due to its dryness and lactic acidity with a sake level of -32 and an alcohol content of 17 degrees.
Similar to Tsuchida.

After climbing Mt. Yamato Katsuragi, the famous sake from Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, at the Kogen Lodge.
Even though it was late March when we climbed the mountain, the summit was covered in a blizzard of extremely cold and strong winds 😆😆 This was a first for a mountain that I have climbed many times in this season😆After a soothing drink in the bath at the summit lodge.
This is the original brand of "Kaze no Mori" brewed by Aburacho Shuzo. It is not the Bodai yeast sake that has been making a comeback in recent years, but a real simple fire-brewed Junmai sake.
The entrance is modest, but the aroma of thick acidity mixed with a little maturing aroma and the deliciousness of rice.
In the mouth, the thick acidity is supported by the umami of the rice, which swells up and finishes gently. Delicious!
A classic mellow, simple junmai sake.
A safe taste. Very tasty 🍶I love this kind of sake ✨.
By the way, Higashikawa Sake Shop, a sacred place in Gosho City, which was as much fun as climbing the mountain, was closed on Wednesday 😆😆 I'm glad I had a drink at the top of the mountain!
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san.
Well, even in Kansai, it is not something you can buy at supermarkets, but mainly in the local area. I have the impression that Takanaga of Bodhi Hashimoto is spreading.
Earlier this year, I visited Shorakuji Temple in Nara and met the members of Sake-no-wa at the Bodai Hashiroshi Hashimoto Festival, which got me more into sake 😇.
At the Bodai Hashiwashi Festival, I bought these 3 bottles 😀.
I walked down the mountain carrying the sake I bought at Shoreki-ji Temple, and when I almost fell down due to being knocked off my feet, my wife kindly told me to fall down in front of her, not behind her, and I managed to reach the station at the foot of the mountain without breaking any bottles 😇.
I bought 3 bottles that I tasted at Shoreki-ji that I thought were delicious... Takacho-san, Sanomorosugi-san and Yatagarasu-san, but today I chose Takacho-san among them 😀.
Takacho-san is a sake brewed by Yucho-san, who is famous for Kaze no Mori (Wind Forest) 😀.
It looks dark yellow and gives the image of old mature sake, but when I put it in my mouth, it had a thick and rich atmosphere, but it was a very sweet and tasty sake that lingered in my mouth but did not have a bad taste 😀 It is a very high quality sake.
It was a very high level sake and as expected 🤣.
It was delicious! ❤️
Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
I've only tasted it, but it's a taste I'd like to drink slowly at home 😊I love the austere look of the drinks you bought and the ones you're comparing ✨.
Hi Yasbaye 😃
I like the way the atmosphere of the photo with the sake drinks lined up for comparison keeps changing 🤗Maybe the time will come when we can feel the spring 🌸 with Yasbaye's drinking comparison photos😊.
Hi Pon 😀
My favorite line as a taste is still light and fruity sake, but these three are special because I met them at the first sake event I visited😇.
But I'd like to broaden my taste palate 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
The most fun time is when we are thinking about the sake to compare 😇.
We are planning to start our spring sake comparison in mid-April 🌸 although our fridge is still full and we are not ready for spring sake yet.
Aburacho Shuzo
Takacho Junmai Ginjo Nama Shuzake
The brewery is located in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture.
This sake is made from Kinuhikari rice.
It has a fresh aroma and a pleasant carbonation.
The fresh aroma and the pleasant carbonation stimulate the taste buds.
It has a perfect balance of acidity, umami, and sweetness.
#Nihon-shu
Mellow aroma.
Creamy and sweet. The taste is reminiscent of white chocolate.
The sweetness does not linger, but rather comes off mildly and gently with a hint of bitterness.

I'm a hawker chief 🍶.
I've been wanting to drink it for a long time 🍶 and now it's finally happening😊.
The drink feels like a mixture of spices, honey, ishidic and herbal medicine.
Elegant sugar?
Warmed sake 🍶ver. 65 degrees.
It's very robust. Aroma is also strong.
When you swallow it, the aroma and umami are in perfect harmony with each other 🤤.
I still want to pair it with Bean Curd 😊.
Kobe Landing🚄
When I came to Kobe, I wanted to eat "Bokkake", so I went to Nagata Honjoken.
It used to be in the Aeon in Kumamoto 😢.
Bokkake Omusoba and 🍺 dinner 😋.
Still delicious 🥰.
After dinner, we went to Asano Sake Shop in Sannomiya.
I came here to pick out some Hyogo sake to drink at the hotel, but I found Takacho in the standing drinking corner 😍.
It's a Nara sake, but I guess it's OK to call it Kansai 😁.
I only had one glass.
It's a very rich and sweet sake 🥰.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford this one so I bought another sake.
Tomo-san, welcome to Kansai 😆!
I'm so glad you're in Kansai 😆! It looks delicious 💕I've actually never had it 💦and it's great that you're going to Asano-san 😆👍There's a lot of good flavors in Kansai, so please enjoy it 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
It's been a while since I landed in Kansai. Bokkake omelette soba is very tasty 😋 Asano's in Sannomiya was a small store, but they had a good lineup of popular items. I saw that they are having a fair at Kaze no Mori right now.
Good morning Rafa papa 😃.
I will be working in Port Island from today until Friday.
Looking forward to getting through Friday. Please take care of me: 🙇♂
The last stop on the second day was the Aburacho Sake Brewery, also in Gosho City.
As one would expect from a sake brewing company that is relatively easy to find even in Tokyo, there were factories, tanks, and warehouses lined up around the main building.
The factory and warehouses were lined up around the main building.
They seemed to be busy with shipping operations.
I bought the last bottle of this Takacho, which was brewed in 2013 and manufactured (bottled) in 2020, on the shelf of Noboru Sake Shop in Tenri.
The man at the store told me it was very tasty 😊.
I took the sake as a gift to my neighbor, the proprietress who loves Takacho and is always good to me, and drank it with my regular customers.
First, cold sake 🍶.
The first aroma is sweet like Mitarashi dumpling sauce 🍡.
The sweetness and richness on the palate.
It did not have the sweet and sour taste of the new Takacho.
Next, we decided to enjoy the heated sake by the proprietress's choice 🍶.
Takacho is sharply spicy and has a moderate sweetness.
The sweetness became stronger when the sake was about the same temperature as the top warmer, and when it was lukewarm, the sweetness and umami were followed by a hint of sourness, which I thought was delicious together.
Yamada Nishiki.
I didn't expect to find it in the supermarket where I stopped by.
The sake starts with a quick burst of umami.
The spiciness combines with the umami and lingers until the aftertaste.
