Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka ③.
The booth of "Kirai" in Tokushima.
They brought only their standard products this time.
Kirai (black) Tokubetsu Junmai
The taste is slightly umami.
Kirai (silver) Junmai Daiginjo
The umami and sweetness are sweet and delicious. Very tasty.
Kibuki River
This sake is made with water from the Anabuki River (the original kanji), which flows close to the brewery.
The water has a strong acidity, but is also tasty and refreshing. It is also very tasty.
◉Kirai (Aka) Ginjo-Junmai (Houjun)
Aromatic and umami, with the typical Junmai rice-derived acidity.
All of the wines at this booth were delicious.
They will be bringing their Kirai (blue) to the National Sake Fair, which they did not bring this time.
Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - A Spectacle of Sake and Food in Shikoku
This sake has a very good name for those who like dry sake!
I say "dry" but it's dry with a nice sharpness!
It was very cold, so it may not be at its full potential, but I'm sure it would be very tasty heated up.
It's a pity that there was no heated sake corner this time!
The other Umakuchi was a Junmai that was straight-up delicious!
The umami is so strong that you can feel it even when it's cold!
I think I'd like to try it lukewarm!
Shikoku x Sake Country 2025 Sake Brewery Wonderland On Osaka - Shikoku's Sake and Food Spectacle - (3)
I've been drinking it at home in the past, but there's no longer a store where you can buy it...
It's a brewery of the Novil Group, which operates a diversified business in Tokushima, including pachinko halls, golf courses, car sales, and a vending machine business.
They are planning to withdraw from the pachinko hall business by transferring it to another company in the same business.
I drank
Kirai Gin Junmai Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 43%, Sake meter value +2.0
It's sweet and junmai, but has a strong umami flavor and is very drinkable.
Kirai Kuro Tokubetsu Junmai Yakkuchi
Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 63% Sake strength +1.0
It's a bit on the dry side, but has a nice sweetness to it.
It's like a modern classic.
Kirai Aka Junmai Ginjyo Rich
Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 53%, Sake meter value +1.0
I like it because it's quite fruity, sweet and has a strong umami taste.
Kibukigawa Special Junmai
Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 60
It is smooth, easy to drink and slightly sweet. It has a lingering aftertaste, but it is short. It has a lingering aftertaste, but it is short.
Overall, there were many types that were sweet and had a short, sharp aftertaste.
They said they would bring a blue-labeled sake for the June national sake fair.
I wish there was a store in Kansai where I could buy it 🤔.
There are various antenna stores in the Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan near the forum where the conference is held 🥰.
This is the one I bought at the Tokushima antenna store.
Shikiku Anabuki River
This is the first time I heard of this brand.
When I put it in my mouth, I felt a flavor like white wine for a moment.
It is not so sweet and has a clear and sharp taste.
It is suitable as a food wine.
Tomorrow morning I have to work hard, so I have to keep it light 😅.
Let's drink with gusto tomorrow night 😁.
Good morning, tomo!
I love visiting antenna stores in Yurakucho area too!
I had no idea about this brand though 😆.
If you come to Tokyo on a regular basis, I'm sure we'll meet sometime soon ❗️
Good morning, Haruei Chichi ☀☀☀☀☀.
It's fun to visit antenna stores 😁.
There are quite a few brands that I don't know at all and I end up buying a lot of things 😅.
I only come to Tokyo about once a year, but I'd love to join you somewhere!
Good evening, tomo 😃.
There are a lot of antenna stores in that area, so it's a good place to fill up your map 🤗.
I'm sure you're somewhere in Tokyo right now drinking 😆 Enjoy!
