Today is my first visit to a liquor store.
Sakurada Sake Shop in Ikuno Ward.
They recently started an installation site, and I had a vague idea of the brands they carry, so I decided to go there.
It's a little far from the station, but I guess Kintetsu Imazato Station or Sennichimae Shoji Station are the closest ones.
The brands they carry are
Kubota, Horaisen, Kirinzan, Sagata, Naniwa Masamune (Sakamatsu), Tamagawa, Katano Sakura, Otters, various sake from Meimon Shukai, etc.
There is also a PB sake called Naniwa Sakura, brewed by Yamano Shuzo of Katano Sakura.
They are open on Sundays.
When I asked if they had any 4-gou of Sakamatsu sake, they said they only have 1-masu bottles. I asked them if they had any 4-gou of Sakamatsu, but they said they only had one bottle....
Then they asked me if I would like to try a sample. I decided to try it.
The rice was smooth. It is rare for a brewery in the Kansai region to use "masugura" rice. I think there was also a sake made with Asahi no Yume.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a slightly sweet, yet somewhat robust flavor. The quality of the sake seems heavy for a summer sake.
I've bought Naniwa Masamune's Natsusei at a brewery in the past, but I wonder if the contents are the same 🤔.
The owner was very nice and I will visit again 😊.
The 3rd and 4th pictures are retro vending machines I found on the way 😳.
The sample I saw was released in 1998, so I wonder if it was working until the middle of the Heisei era?
