This is a limited edition sake that I was able to purchase at the Tsukii Sake Brewery's summer festival. Bottled straight from the thermal tank right in front of me ‼️ too overwhelmed to see it in detail💦.
Powerful dry sake! The aftertaste is powerful, spicy, and umami. No gassiness, but it is numbing. It has a refreshing herbal aftertaste.
The other bottle was the Hitachi Nishiki Unfiltered Nama Sake, which was recommended in the limited-edition pamphlet we received on the brewery tour.
Even more umami explosion! Dry and spicy!
I wondered if this kind of umami could go with any dish.
It would be a standard, but I tried it with too much of dinner to pick sashimi, and it was delicious delicious delicious ‼️
I think I'm going to be addicted to the umami ^_^
Speaking of Tsuki no I, heated sake! I heated it in the microwave. I heated it up in the microwave. It has a sweeter umami with a hint of sourness and saltiness. Heating sake in the summer is good too👍.
I wanted to go and drink by public transportation, but the time was not suitable, so I had to return by car without alcohol 🚙. However, I enjoyed delicious curry, sake kasu ice cream, and chilled amazake, and met the brewery staff! I'm glad I went ^_^.
Hi Nanka Yokai 😃
I can feel the powerful atmosphere of the summer festival at the brewery 🚙 too bad it was in the summer 😅It's nice to drink at home slowly while remembering 🤗.
Heating sake under the air conditioner is also nice 😙.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ‼️
I had a plan to go with 🚃 and 🚌 and have a drink, but it ended up as a fantasy 💦 but it was worth a lot to see so many things 😭They were also heating sake at the venue and I had to do it for Magali ^_^.
Today is the annual Tsuki no I Summer Festival!
You can drink sake that you can't usually drink, such as the 160th anniversary sake and today's limited edition Honjozo Nigori.
The souvenir is a fresh sake directly pumped from the tank!
I couldn't resist tasting it on the spot!
It's dark and robust like Tsuki no I, but fresh and sweet at the same time.
but also fresh and sweet.
I want to try it warmed up!
Anyway, I drank too much and can't remember what I did, but it was a fun event!
Tsuki no I Summer Festival at Tsuki no I Sake Brewery in Oarai.
A 500ml bottle of Junmai Ginjo Nama-shu, directly pumped from the thermal tank, was priced at 1000 yen!
It smells so good when you open the bottle, sigh ✨It smells like melon from the 😮💨 glass as well, and when you drink it, it goes from being soooo smooth on the palate, to don again and the melon-like juiceiness spreads, and then it kicks in clean and dry.
Paired with the pickled cucumber that the waiter recommended, it was sinkingly good👍!
It was expensive, but I'm glad I took the plunge and bought it, as it's probably a commemorative sake that comes around once every 10 years ^_^.

It is a pale amber color 🟨.
It has a ricey 🌾 feel with a very slight alcoholiness coming through.
It feels like it's being squeezed under pressure so hard that it's hard to believe it's 13% alcohol 😅.
It tastes more like a classic 🤗.
