Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑭
Matsuse Sake Brewery, Matsu no Tsukasa booth.
Mr. Matsuse, whom I had a chance to talk with at Takashimaya, was at the booth, so I greeted him.
Matsu no Tsukasa Junmai Ginjo Mizuki
The mouthfeel is clear and mineral, with pear and melon-like fruitiness. The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. This is the sake I wanted to drink, and it is delicious.
◉Matsunoshi Organic Junmai Sake Watafune Namahashi-zukuri
The label is classy. The sake has a gentle acidity and a firm, full-bodied umami flavor. The taste is very clean and crisp. I like this one because it has a lot of flavor, yet is easy to drink and delicious.
Matsu no Tsukasa Junmai-shu Ohana
An assemblage sake. The label also states the blend ratio. The label also indicates the blend ratio. The blend is made up of a large percentage of young sake, so the aroma and taste are rather clean and not aged too much. The blend seems to change every year.
Just by drinking these three types of sake, one can tell that the level of Matsu no Tsukasa is quite impressive.
Mild aroma of rice flavor🌾☀️
When you put it in your mouth, the umami of rice and green apple type aroma spreads and the gentle umami and sweetness expands!
The 🤤 mild acidity is also pleasant ☺️🍶.
The sake tastes beautifully with careful raw yeast production: 🏞️🌈
I'm going out for a drink ♫
I'm going to visit Eiheiji 🙏🚃.
On the way back, we got off at Yasu station in Shiga Prefecture 🚃.
We went to a pub we go to a few times a year 🏮🍶.
I had a bottle of Shiga Prefecture's local sake Matsu no Tsukasa 😊.
The fruity flavor of the rice and the classic taste of the rice matched perfectly with the sake 😍.
Good evening, Ao🦉.
I didn't know about this restaurant💦It looks like a very popular place! The entrée looks delicious too😻
Wasn't it far from the station?
Good evening, Ponchan.
It's a popular restaurant! Lunch is very reasonable!
You might have to wait in line😅
It was a 700 yen cab ride from Yasu station, not too far to walk 💦.
They only had 3 kinds of sake: Hakkaisan, Kubota, and Matsunoshi. Please come!
thirteen degrees
Distributed only by the "Matsu-no-ji Koshikomi no Kai," a special distributor of Matsu-no-ji mainly in Shiga Prefecture.
It was sweet and sour with a modern style.
It was dry and had a sake-like taste.
It was less fizzy than I imagined.
