The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉔
ICHIHAKO's booth.
The current brewer, Kazuhiro Nakazawa's grandfather closed his business in 2000, and Daijiro Hata, the brewer of Hata Sake Brewery, suggested that he brew his own sake at Hata Sake Brewery. In 2015, the brand was launched and the company's own brewery was revived.
The name "Kazuhiro" was taken from the names of two sake brewers, Nakazawa Brewery's Toji Sakagashira Houichi and Hata Brewery's Toji Taniuchi Hiroshi, who both learned the art of sake brewing.
I had a chance to drink a lot of their sake at a tasting at the Otsu Prince Hotel.
Ichihoro Junmai Mild Nigori Nama Sake
It has a little sourness, sweetness, and umami. It's delicious 😋I liked it a lot when I drank it before.
ICHIHIRO Junmai Light Nigori Nama Sake
It has a sourness like a sake yeast yeast yeast, and it is intertwined with the flavor of the oli.
I also like many of the sake at ICHIHIRO.
I also drank the brewing water 😁.
Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉔
Ichihoro is the first sake I've had in three years. I have a strong impression of light nigori raw sake.
I drank
Junmai light nigori nama-zake (raw sake)
Impressive acidity and drinkability typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast 🤔.
Junmai light nigori nama sake
I've had it in the past and it's still as good as ever.
I think the balance is really good. Versatile enough to drink by itself or with food.
Sake received at the Sake World Summit.
This sake is brewed with Ginbukiyo sake produced in Shiga Prefecture.
The acidity and umami of the sake are well intertwined with each other.
It was a delicious sake.
It is perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.
My wine-loving friend who accompanied me also accepted the taste of this sake made from the sake's "nama-hashiroshi" (sake brewed from the same yeast as the original yeast).
