The train is rocking and rattling.
Today's destination is Hanshin Mikage Station!
I went to an event called "Mikage Local Sake Festival.
Seven breweries in Mikage Township, including Kenbishi and Fukuju, opened stalls.
Arriving at the station. As I went down the stairs, an old man with a bright red face came up.
This must be because of the event we are about to go to!" A good guess worked.
The stalls were set up in a long, straight shopping street. We had to stop at a traffic light on the way.
There were so many people. You can tell just by passing each other! You can tell just by passing each other.
Here is a digest of the event.
First, "Chiyoda Kura Fukunohana" (Chiyoda Kura Fukunohana)
It is a light nigori Junmai Daiginjo.
It is very popular! There was a line of people waiting for it.
Fruity but firm.
Next was my favorite Senzuke!
We had three kinds of sake!
Woohoo, "Senzuke KeyKeg"!
It was served from a beer-like server. We had freshly pressed sake!
It was delicious!
Next up was Kenbishi. I chose the "Mizuho Kuromatsu Kenbishi"!
It's a gutsy type! It's too gutsy! I laughed when I put it in my mouth!
It's delicious!
.
Next up is a Junmai Daiginjo for the main course.
Swirling the glass, you can enjoy the aroma of ginjo.
The taste is not too sweet and not too dry, but just right for a medium sized cup.
The fruity flavor is as good as the rumor says. 👍️
Finally, the blur of the other day has been resolved.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
Just what you wanted, right around the corner 🤣.
It tasted balanced and easy to drink, just as I expected 😋.
It was less sweet than I expected 👌
.
I met Senzuke in Tokyo on a business trip to Kansai the other night, who I couldn't meet in Osaka & Amagasaki (Hyogo) 🤣.
My first Senzuke 🙌!
First up was the white malted rice active nigori 😆.
I could feel the bubbly and fizzy sensation!
Even though it's nigori, it's light and has just the right amount of sweetness 😋.
It's easy to drink at 13 degrees al 👍️
Good evening, N.E. 🦉.
Congratulations on your first Senzuke 🎉Asano-san, you were treated well! I haven't had the white koji, but it looks delicious this season 😻.
It's refreshing to have a long-awaited drink 😉.
Good morning, Pon 😆.
I was thinking of local sake to match my destination, but the owner's words convinced me that locals indeed want to drink sake from other prefectures ☝.
Senzuke is just as I thought it would be and it refreshes my body and soul 👌👌.
Thank you very much, Pekkaal!
Your profile says you are from Hyogo, so I guess this is your local sake⁉
Senzuke was delicious. 👍️
And I'm a big fan of active nigori 🤗.
It's insanely delicious!
Slightly dry and fruity
Umami when you put it in your mouth
Pungent taste on the tongue
Fruity flavor that fills the mouth
I can't get enough of it!

Next, we decided to drink Senzuke BLUE recommended by bouken🍶.
It was a soft melon-like sweetness that flowed smoothly 🍈.
It's been a year since I've had Senzuke, but it's so consistently delicious that I thought it would be okay to buy it for drinking at home 💡.

This is another sake I bought at the Nada brewery tour at the end of last year, the same as yesterday's Dewaka-san 😀.
I've only tasted a bit of Senzuke at a previous event, but this is the first time I've had the chance to take some home 🤣.
If you think you can buy it anytime, you will never get a chance to take it home 😅.
And since the brewery is closed on weekends, it was closed every time I passed by 😅.
I was able to buy it at the storehouse this time because it was open only during the winter season😇.
It tasted like a fruity with less sweetness...ummakuchi fruity 😀.
Actually, my family loves sweet and fruity sake and we were a big fan of Hanamup, but after comparing it with Shinshu Kamerei and Senzuke this time, I feel like Hanamup is a little lacking 😅.
I wonder if my taste buds have changed a little bit after having a variety of sakes ❓🤣.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😃.
We would like to try Senzuke 😋 but on the contrary we don't have a chance 🥲I sometimes want to drink Sukkiri after a long time of sweet and strong 🤔I guess it's the opposite at Yasbaye's place 🤗Our taste preferences are moving around 😅.
Hi Yasbay 😃.
Thanks for contacting me 🙇♂️ I guess you have to post locally for far away places such as travel destinations 😭.
I still don't know much about how to use sakéwa, and I didn't know how to reply to your comment earlier, so here I am 😅.
Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
Senzuke Orikarami is delicious 😻It's a sake I'm thinking of drinking at home someday 😊.
I'm a Hana Yuu fan too, but I love this type too ❣️ I'm having trouble finding more and more flavors I like 😂.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
Thankfully, I've been able to learn about many different types of delicious sake, so it seems that my taste buds are expanding a little bit 😀.
I hope you will have a chance to try Senzuke if you have a chance 😇.
Hello, Maa-san 🙆
I am also a beginner who has been in Sake no Wa for a year and a half, but everyone in Sake no Wa is very kind, so you should enjoy yourself while getting used to it little by little🙆.
You can reply to their posts as is 🙆⭕️😇
Hi, Pon 😀
I knew it 😀
Basically, I'm relieved to know that my husband and I and Pon-chan have similar taste preferences 😇.
Really, your tastes are expanding more and more 😇
Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞Senzuke-san is closed on weekends 👀I didn't know that since I was visiting between jobs 💦I still like sweet and savory, but I feel like the range of what I can drink is expanding 😋.
Good evening, Nao888 😀
It's a great location to be able to visit sake breweries in between work...I'm jealous😇!
I too was basically a sweet and fruity person, but it seems I've expanded my horizons a little bit 😇.
Sake bought in Arima Onsen🍶.
Dry and crisp sake with a slight carbonation.
Polishing ratio is 65%.
After drinking other alcohol
It is crisp and refreshing.
It is a sake that can be drunk in small sips.
Purchased at Tani Sake Shop in front of Fujiidera Station. I was caught by the words "white malted rice" lol.
I can't help it because I love white malted rice sake (﹒﹒ᴗ﹒︡).
It has a subtle aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it has a sweet and sour taste that only white malted rice can give. Very fruity and delicious. ❣️
You should be careful not to drink too much of it...
I received this from a senior as a retirement gift.
My wife and I enjoyed it.
I don't like sweets, but it was sweet, but not too sweet.
We both enjoyed it together.
