Takashimaya Sake Festival ⑫
The last stop was Tanaka Sake Brewery.
I came by the booth once, but it was crowded, so I slipped in just before the end of the festival.
I really wanted Nemuchi to have some garden sake... 😁.
The sake we tasted was
Shirasagi-no Shiro Garden Sake, Nama Hashiroshi (no picture)
Shirasagi no Shiro Junmai Ginjo Ki-en
Shirasagi no Shiro Junmai Ginjo Kiyori Hiyoroshi
The garden sake is acidic but well-balanced and easy to drink.
It is the easiest to drink among the garden sake. I didn't take a picture of it because I drank it at home in the past.
Chushingura and Banshu Issen garden sake are Ranshu 🤣.
Karoku is a sake made from a rare rice called Nojoho.
I believe it was tenbin pressed.
I've had Karoku in the past, and it has a unique flavor that I find addictive. Personally, I prefer hiyaoroshi (cold brewed sake) because of its gentle sweetness.
That's all for the 12 breweries I visited in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
I stayed there for 3 hours.
bouken, here too 😊The garden wine from Egret's Castle was delicious 😋I was suddenly curious about the other weirdo garden wine 🤣Thank you for your time 🙇I'm sorry for dragging you into this 🙏😅.
Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
Garden sake, I heard that Chushingura is usually fire-brewed, so maybe the raw one I drank just happened to be perverted 🤔.
Banshu Issen is a real orchid sake 🤣.
Please let me keep you company 🙏🤣.
bouken, good job on completing your Takashimaya post after Hankyu 😊👍.
12 breweries in that time 😳‼️Nemuchi and you two are still awesome when you get serious 😆.
I like Banshu Issen, so I'd like to know what run sake tastes like, even though I'm scared 🤣!
The 20th brewery at the 6th Takashimaya Sake Festival
Finally, the last one❗.
Sorry for rambling on for so long 🙏.
Tanaka Sake Brewery "Shirasagi-no-jo" Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture
KURA Master Platinum Award TOP 5 in Junmai Sake category
Special Junmai Sake "Meoto Masamune Otsuten" (Super sweet)
Winner of the Kura Master 2022 Gold Award
Junmai Ginjo Shirasagi-no Shiro
Kame-no-Kou 47
The brewer was already keeping some kind of ledger, and we rushed in at the last minute.
I was curious about "garden sake".
Apparently, several sake breweries in the Harima area are re-releasing "Niwa-shu," which is a sake made by researching and reproducing Japan's oldest brewing method.
Since "Chushingura Garden Sake" was recommended by Mr. Bouken as a peculiar and perverted sake, I had a glass of "Garden Sake" as well.
Shirasagi-no-jo: Garden Sake, Namahashime Junmai Sake
It has acidity, but it is not as assertive as I expected, and it seems to be well balanced.
Shirasagi no Shiro Junmai Ginjo Kien
Shirasagi no Shiro Junmai Ginjo Kien Hiyoroshi
I'm near my limit and can't remember the others 🤣.
I looked at the picture carefully and saw that there was [Special Junmai Sake Meoto Masamune Otten]. I wanted to try the super sweet one 💦.
That's all for 3 hours and 20 breweries✨
bouken, sorry for taking you around 😅.
Nemuchi, good job on completing your post on the Sake Festival😊It was awesome to continue from the Hankyu! I also enjoyed seeing that you went with 😳‼️bouken with proper feedback on all of them 😆🎶.
Pon-chan, good evening 🌛I apologize again for the lengthy comment 🙇I can't give as accurate an opinion as you can, so I hope you can think of it as a conversation starter with Mr. Kurata 😅.
Nemuchi, thanks for your contribution 🙋.
I'm glad you enjoyed the garden sake 😋.
The most peculiar garden sake is Banshu Issen, which is only available in Shiso City! That one might be worse than the orchid 🤣.
Please take me around again 🤣.
bouken, good evening 🌛Thank you for your time 🙇The garden sake of Shirasagi no Shiro was well balanced and delicious 😋I'm too curious about the garden sake of Banshu Issen next 😁I would like to try Meito Masamune once too!
Nemuchi-san, good morning 🌈My favorite at this Takashimaya Sake Festival was this Tanaka Sake Brewery's White Walled Castle😄I hit it off with the proprietress ✌️ and bought a boxed turtle shell 💕I bought a boxed turtle shell 😅but I didn't drink the garden sake.
Daiginjo, 35% rice polishing ratio
At room temperature
Clearly defined sweetness
No bitterness at all.
A little bit of spiciness can be felt afterwards.
Chilled
The sweetness stands out clearly.
Room temperature may be better for ease of drinking, but I got the impression that I could feel the deliciousness of this sake.
Sweet and sour, delicious cold, room temperature 312100
Elegant, fresh and sweet
Sake made entirely from Yamadanishiki produced in Banshu, Hyogo Prefecture
Delicious sake.
It may be a sake for souvenirs, but it tastes authentic.
It has a full-bodied taste, but it has a nice sharpness.
It is a sake that lingers in your mouth.
This is not wine.
It is the gold medal winner at Kura Master 2022.
This is the Meito Masamune Otsuten, which won a gold medal at the Kura Master 2022.
I had no idea about this sake, and it was a gift.
I was anxious and hopeful when I had it 😆.
The aroma is like an elegant and gentle wine 🤤.
The taste is also like a gentle wine 🤤.
But it doesn't end there.
After the sweetness spreads out, a hint of astringent bitterness appears, and finally we are enveloped by the taste of rice 😁.
After all, it is sake 😚.
I could not find what to pair it with because it is so gentle that I could not taste it as a food sake 😎.
Special Junmai I got SHIRASAGI YAMADANISHIKI 65 for overseas. I believe the name in Japan is Otten by Meito Masamune. It is one of my favorite bottles.
It has a refreshing mouthfeel, and although it is sweet, you can feel the rice in this sake. We recommend drinking it cold.
I had it with cream cheese and dried fruits. It seems to cleanse the palate even after eating oily food.
