Kansai Sake no Wa🚃Off-line meeting of Hankai Train, 3rd drink
Sake I brought
I was told that only two liquor stores in western Japan still carry this sake. Also, the toji won a gold medal at a sake competition in his first year, so there is a lot to look forward to in the future 😊.
100% Yamae-Nishiki
Polishing ratio 35
Alcohol 15.5
It has a gorgeous sweet-tart flavor, and perhaps due to the high degree of polishing, it is easy to drink without any sticking points!
We were glad you all enjoyed it 😊.
Thank you very much 🙏.
I forgot to take a picture of it, but Umaiau's friend also made three kinds of snacks for us. The leeks, shellfish, etc. are perfect for sake. ❣️
Thank you very much, Umaumai!
Hi Pon 😃
I had Matsuo for the first time and it was very delicious. ☺️ I will CI you again! Thank you very much 😊
Umaisan's three kinds of snacks also went well with the sake: ☺️
Thank you Aladdin 😊.
I brought something I'd never had before so it was honestly a gamble 😆 Glad it suited your palate 😊👍.
I'm still puzzled what the snack in the middle was 🤣.
Hello, Pon-chan.
The party was a great success 🎵.
I've rarely had a chance to try Nagano's sake lately and I'm not familiar with many of them ✨.
I'm going to make a note of this one on my wish list. ✍️
Pon, thank you for your help 😊.
I hardly remember having any snacks 🤔.
This sake was very elegant and tasty 😊 I'm sorry I drank a little too much this time 😅
Hi Pon 😃
It was a very rare sake 😳⁉️ many places make new but delicious sake 😋I guess that's how advanced the technology is 🤔It was very delicious 🤤👍‼️
Good evening, ma-ki-.
We had a lot of people and a lot of alcohol and it was a great party 😆🎶This alcohol is available in Kansai at Takatsu Sake Shop in Kusatsu, Shiga 😊That's a long way away 😭.
Please come next time, ma-ki-chan!
Thank you for the offline meeting, kan 😊.
Did you drink all the time? 🤣I didn't understand because everyone was drinking too much 😁I thought this is what kan is doing with her friends, bringing things together like this 🤣.
Thanks for the off-line meeting, Pon!
This Matsuo was so delicious, clear, clear and sweet 😋.
Thank you so much for all your attention and for inviting me to the offline meeting: ❗️
Thank you very much, Rafa 😊.
The brewery itself seems to have a long history, but it seems to be the first year since the toji took over 😳It seems he studied at the Naohiko Noguchi Institute 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan. It was a pleasure to meet the cute Pon-chan 😆 I feel the love of Sake-no-wa for Pon-chan to bring Matsuo, which everyone can not drink in the middle of the day 💕It was of course delicious as you said 😋.
Good evening, Ponchan 😁.
Thank you for everything 🙏.
It was my first time to drink this drink and it was delicious 😁😋.
I thought it was an abalone or a mussel in the middle 🤣.
bouken you say cartilage 😰.
Maru, thank you very much for the offline meeting😊It was the first time we met, but it was the second time and you are used to it, which helped us a lot 🙏.
I'm surprised I brought something I've never had before 🤣.
Hi Hirupeko, it was nice to meet you too ❣️
I thought she was more like a comedian, but she was cute 😍I had a different image 🙏 I'm so excited to have more women in my life and to be able to have a girls' night 😁.
Hmm? Is that what you had in mind when you thought of comedic types? I'll have to hear more about this at a girls' night out soon 🤔Please have a drink with her again 😊.
Pon, also here 😋.
So this is a sake from Nagano ❣️ I haven't come across it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's Shinshu sake 😊I bet it's delicious 🥰I'd love to try it 😋.
Thanks again for this one, Tsubu 😊.
This one is delicious, but the Matsuo's Spotted Tail, which is a regular priced one, is also a modern type and delicious 👍💕I'll post it next time 😉.
Sake-no-wa Kansai Off-line Meeting (3)
The third sake brought by Pon-chan, who gave me the opportunity to participate in this off-line meeting.
Matsuo Matsunoo Premium", another sake from Nagano.
Fruity aroma reminiscent of pineapple, mild sweetness and umami, and a lingering finish with a mild sweetness.
I can't believe I can drink several Nagano sakes at once 😆.
I think it was around the end of this year's GW when Pon-chan asked me to join an off-line meeting in Kansai, and I had a precious opportunity to talk with people I would not normally meet.
Thank you for inviting me, Pon-chan 🙇.
Thanks for the offline meeting, Gyve 😊and for the review 🙏.
I brought it along so we could all have a taste 😁.
I hope you enjoy it with us again! Thank you for coming from afar😊.
Hi Pon-chan ☀☀☀.
Thank you for inviting me to the party, it was a lot of fun 😁.
It was my first time to try Matsuo and I was surprised how different it tasted from other Nagano sake 😲.
I hope I can join you again 😆.
I bought it at a local liquor store to try it out.
It's a rare sake that no one else carries.
It seems they were able to handle it because they happen to know the toji (master brewer).
Gentle ginjo aroma
Soft sweetness with a strong umami flavor.
A little bit of classic dryness.
But it's easy to drink without being unpleasant.
Kirei (sharp)
Sake brought by Pon-chan.
Most of them had never seen Matsuo before.
The brand name Matsuo comes from Matsuo Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, the god of brewing.
The brewery brews all of its sake with Yamae-Nishiki, and a liquor store in Shiga started doing business with them, so they changed their planned sake to Matsuo at a moment's notice.
Thanks Pon-chan 🥺.
The sake is gorgeous and fresh, not like a fire-aged sake.
It has a smooth and clean mouthfeel with a firm sweetness.
I looked up the sake again to write this review and was surprised to see that it is an expensive sake with a 35% rice polishing ratio 😳.
No, that's exactly what it is!
Fresh and very 35%! I was very impressed with the rich body of this sake, which I would not expect from a sake that has been polished to ....... 😇
I'm not interested in highly polished sake, but I'd like to try it again.
Good evening, Mr. Sakaeran😃.
When I got home and saw the picture, I was surprised to see 35% polished rice 😳.
I was surprised to see the rice polishing ratio of 35% when I got back home 😳 It was very strong for the polishing ratio 😋I guess you are not interested in high polishing ratio, you just bring brown rice sake 🤔.
Thanks for the review, bouken 😊.
I haven't had it yet, but the others seem to be more classic and I think it's a pretty solid brand 🤔.
I'm glad to hear it's a drink that even the quirkiest pervert can drink 🤣.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I guess classic is the brewery's original taste 🤔I thought this sake was also quite robust for the rice polishing ratio 😳
Kusei kinky, that's a compliment 🤣.

Refreshing aroma, typical of nama sake. Soft on the palate. Slightly sweet. Not flashy, but strangely lingering. What is this? What is this? It's super delicious! It is!
This is Takahashi Sukesaku Sake Brewery. They are a pioneer of Yamae-Nishiki sake brewing rice, and all of their sake is made from Yamae-Nishiki.
This is a limited edition sake that is shipped to coincide with the birthday of the poet Kobayashi Issa (May 5). The brewery is located in Shinanomachi, Kobayashi's birthplace and final home. In spite of this, there were customers before and after me, and I felt the popularity of the brewery. I can only be convinced.
It is made with Sanke Nishiki, a sake rice unique to Nagano Prefecture!
It is far from floral or mellow.
It has no peculiarities and can be drunk at room temperature, lukewarm, or chilled.
It has a supporting role of a number 2 batter who is good at bunting, like a drifter, Nakamoto Kouji.
I paired it with fried chicken and pickled cucumbers.
I paired it with deep fried tofu and pickled cucumber.

A crisp, dry sake with a slightly old-fashioned flavor. The aftertaste is more sweet than sharp, leaving the impression of a lingering sweetness.
It's just plain delicious.
Matsuo "Kamimizuuchi" Junmai Ginjo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo, Kaminomizuuchi County, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, is a Junmai Ginjyo Namaishiginjyo Namaishiginjyo, tank top pressing. For three consecutive years since 2020, Takahashi Sukesaku Shuzo has been using Yamae Nishiki, locally grown in the prefecture, for all the sake it produces. Yamae-Nishiki is now brewed by more than 40 breweries in the prefecture, but Takahashi Sukesaku Brewery has been involved in experimental cultivation and brewing of Yamae-Nishiki since seven years prior to 2020, when the variety was registered. Matsuo's raw yeast production is likely to be reintroduced for the first time in several years.
Mild apple aroma. There is a clear monosaccharide-like sweetness that can be found in other Matsuo series, but there is a nuance that seeps into the tongue along with umami. The acidity with an axis underlies the flavor, which seems to be mellow yet clean and harmonious. It is a bottle that can be enjoyed as a mealtime sake, despite its complexity.
Cold.
Flavor typical of old-fashioned sake.
Aroma like cooked rice.
But it is soft on the palate, a little light and smooth for this type of sake.
The rice flavor is beautiful.
There is a sake-like feeling after a while. A little astringent.
But it enhances meals.
I served boiled komatsuna and cod roe with vinegared udo miso.
moderately
